Default Installing Servo's - Help & Advice needed :)

Hi All,

I purchased a new on-road electric car that was completely built except it required the servo's to be installed.

I purchased a Futaba Transmitter that came with 2 servo's and attempted last night to install the throttle servo. I'm having a few drama's.....

As the instruction's said I have put the servo into a neutral position.

I've connected the steel rod between the servo and the accelerater on the car but it appears that the rod, or servo is causing a problem.

With my current setup: It appears that the servo/rod is position so that it's pushing the accelerater forward, this means when I turn on the car, the wheel's will spin straight away. I'm having a lot of troubles trying to make the servo straight, and align the accelrater so that it's not already making the car start when turned on.

I've taken a Picture of my current servo setup so that someone might be able to have a look and point out what I'm doing wrong.

You may view the picture at:

Anyone that could help me! - I would really appreciate it.

Thanks heaps.
