Default RE: New to Nitro Throttle cable/pushrod

Rather than argue about what is, what may be and what is not a lubricant, let's take a step back (since we don't actually know if the carb is the issue in the first place)
and offer some usable advice.
to p3arljam, I'd suggest removing the pushrod at the carb and try moving the throttle servo, and try moving the carb barrel by hand.
that should help isolate where any binding is happening.
IF the problem is indeed that the carb is frozen/binding (but the pushrod moves freely) regular old glow fuel (poured directly into the carb and the barrel) should free it up.
try that and please post back.
