Default RE: Throttle linkage hitting body

I have the same problem with a 777 when I go full brake. I checked the linkage in every way and I'm getting perfect braking, but it still taps the body enough to create servo bind at the end of the brake EPA (those Pro-Line bodies are pretty tight).

I did the hole trick and its now fine, but I still wonder why I don't see these holes on pro buggies (like Pavidis using the same Pro-line body) and we have to do them...
Becuase as ive been trying to say. Obviosuly the linkage isnt supposed to be hitting the body, so instead of avoiding the problem, and cutting a hole in the body actually fix the problem.
Evoman, your one of the few people on here that seem to have my ethic, that being "fix it right first time", this not only gets it running right, but stops failures of the boded repair from haunting you.

Now if you try what I sugested it will lower the throttle rod thus sliding it UNDER the RHS of the body bulge and thus leave the bodyintact and the electrics less vulnerable to dirt, moisture and other debris.
