RE: Zippkit-Rockett throttle set up Help
Thanks for the Info dicko, your setup is about the same I have in my Jordo Cat, But in the Rockett Im limited in space, There's only 50ml/2inch between the throttle arm and the bulkhead, plus my engine mounts might be a problem also, thats the part im trying to work out.. In the book theres a Pic of a setup but can't make it out. thanks away m8..

Henry, here is a picture of Joe's set-up, I think Mat uses an up and down bell crank set up but couldn't find a pic of it.

Thanks for the info Col, if you got the kit please send it to me m8, ????????? but still unsure ??? My engine mounts are different,, gggrrr thats where this thing is putting me off, I tried to make some kinda brackets but nothing has worked so far. And Mike I looked all through Mats thread about a pic on the set-up and it had nothing, The pic of Joe's set-up looks a bit funny,, angle wise, the Carb to the Bellcrank be good to see a better pic of it,, hopefully he might have a better one.
Just want to say thanks for everyones help.. Henry.

What mounts are you using mate? on mine i flipped the mounts upside down to get the motor to the right height.,only needed to flip the feet and rubber dampers not the whole mount and it worked a treet.

Thanks for the pics Mart and Joe, Mart have tried a cable setup before never had much luck with that kinda setup, And Joe might have to cut away at the bulkhead to get more room, But Just waiting to here back from Col from OZ RC Boat Supplies maybe he might have a good set up for me.

Its the reason that Joe at Zippkits recommends his motor mounts, The arm is already there for the bellcrank. You will need to build a bracket and buy a bellcrank.
