The problem I have found is that there are a million ways to upgrade the throttle and brake linkage on a Savage...with no single spot to find good information.

So what I plan to do is take a bunch of pics while I do my upgrades and go through a detailed process anyone could follow without having to dig all over for the information.

First thing I did last night was to simply upgrade the link from the carb. to that *L* shaped pivot. I had some spare ball mounts that I just screwed into the plastic, and also a spare ball cup piece that normally goes onto the carb. itself. Check out the picture 'cause it's kinda hard to put into words.

The only hard thing about this was cutting the metal rod to a specific length and epoxy'inf the link on. What I did was turn the radio system on and centered everything where it normally sits...then trimmed the metal rod until it was exactly the right length. At that point it was just a matter of glueing the rod on, snapping it all into place, and then letting it set and dry up. No adjusting needed afterwards.

That epoxy probably wont hold. One good crash and it will probably come apart. You should have used some threaded rod they sell them at hobby shops for planes.

That all depends on me crashing doesn't it?!

I'll be getting a nicer adjustable piece in the near future anyhow.

I am going to do a slight throttle mod once I get my TVP's from chronic. I ordered this and some extra rod.

Yup, that's one of the ways to do it. I'm going a different route though. I'll show you guys once I get it all installed.

You get it installed yet?

Nah man...I had to do a brake job on my car so that got put on hold for a few days.

Keep us posted when you do get to it. I will be doing mine soon.

Not a problem bro...and contrary to what someone said earlier in this thread the rubberized CA glue I used to hold the carb. link together hasn't broken loose yet.

Im glad to hear it hasnt yet go-to, just that I never had any success with it and niether did my brother in law.

No sweat man...I will be replacing it when I can.
