Open the carb until it idles but not so high to where it starts to creep forward. As for the linkage you just have to adjust it back to where it stops when you press the brake on the controller. You can just roll teh truck and hit the brake and do small adjustments at a time. Then when you get that adjusted you pull open full throttle and look down the carb to make sure the carb opens all teh way.

Turn your throttle trim back now. So that the servo horn moves towards the back of the car.
