Hey guys i am working on my first nitro that i bought used it had an older 72MHZ RX so i replaced it with a Spektrum AR8000. I hooked everything up and it seems to be working fine except for the throttle cable/ pushrod the servo moves a little but the cable/pushrod flexes instead of just pushing and pulling does it need to be moved to another hole or just adjusted where it is screwed down on the pushrod?
Once you get the throttle working (I have used lots of WD-40 to loosen up a stuck throttle as I have some 150 engines +/- thrown in drawers and many get frozen up until I need/want one) then do yourself a favor and change out the throttle pushrod to a straight solid wire one, which will accept slight curves if inside a plastic tube, even a drinking-straw will usually work OK. Cable throttle push-rods are just an item to cause problems, especially when throttle trims are digital. IMO any digital trim is pure horse-poop, but that is 50 years of using analog which works exactly the way trim is supposed to work. OOPs so sorry, just went off-topic. How bad I am ????
