depends on the size of your hangers. If you have really cheap ones that use thin metal, you can easily use that. Works wonders.

If you dont have one, $1.70 gets you the same part: http://allaboutfunhobbies.com/store/...products_id/44

no hanger made is as small in diameter as the throttle linkage, no matter how cheap, look at the size of the hole in your servo horns and think for one second if you ever seen a hanger that small.

Its only a matter of economics............they don't have time to do the little part thing........you could throw another 20 parts on that order and it would still be $6.95[&o]

you MIGHT be able to find something similar at a hardware store too. Some places keep weird hardware, and it always seems to come in handy.

Actually you can buy an entire 4 foot piece of steel rod from the hardware store and make about 30 of those linkage pieces. Personally I never open a bag of linkage, nor did I ever buy any back when I had to go to the hobby store for parts. Linkage, springs and screws, get them from the hardware store, no need to drop $1.20 on a 4 inch piece of steel rod, when you can get a 4 foot piece for $2.50, same goes for screws, you can get a whole bunch of different screws from the hardware store for less then the hobby store and springs, even shock coil springs. Brass bushings, clutch bell bearings, nuts, just about any steel rod part on the car(A-arm pins), c-clips, Body clips, you just have to look. If you have a good Ace hardware or some place that is a GOOD hardware store you can find just about ever screw and fastener or rod on the car.
