Need help setting up linkage
 

I'm setting up my throttle/brake linkage. I don't know if this is how it should look like but the spring is compressed all the way when I apply the brake and the horn is parallel with the servo(see pic 1). The horn moves about 10mm from idle positon to full brake. That seems too little for me. But it can't go any further because there isn't any room between the spring and the second collar. What am I doing wrong?

Hey bud, It looks like you need a longer servo horn......And take alook at pic #3 your horn might need to be in that position when your servo is at nutral (with the longer horn)......Also not all carb's have the same through rate from open to close....It looks like you have an O.S. there (lookin at the dust boot).....I have a couple of .21's an O.S. and a Picco, The Picco has a shorter through than the O.S. BTW Welcome to RCU......... :rainfro:

Well, I started to look again, And if the spring is fully compressed at your full brake I would not think It would cause any probs, You just won't be able to add more brake if needed....A longer horn will give you all you need, just tune it in on the tx. :) :) Plus you will have more movement on the brake when your new ride starts to wear in its brakes.... :D

little off topic but what kind of camera are you taking those pics with those are really nice. o and when at idle the servo arm shouldnt be away from the stopper with the set screw.you need to slide that in or adjust your trim on your radio.

Thanks for the help guys. I think I will just take that second collar off(next to the carb). This will let the spring have more room....I'm using a Nikon CoolPix 995. Great camera!
