Default Throttle linkage ideas?

Has anyone coverted their throttle linkage to a regular servo horn setup instead of the two arm deal? Doe anyone sell a conversion kit? Anyone have pics?

I run my savage with the stock set-up. It works fine. Most people that have issues, have the servo screw to tight, and it binds the linkage. I like the stock set-up, it is simple and works.

I also noticed a big difference. Throttle is more responive and smooth.

The modded set up is far better and much more time tested than the stock set up. Hands down one of the best mods I've made to my Savage.

I have run the stock linkage for over 2 years, so I think that was plenty of time, and I just bash with the stock motors, and have more fun than I can stand.

Its usually one of my first mods when I buy a new car or truck. The stock one just seems too sloppy and inconsistent. Those are great pics, and I almost have all the parts except for the sliders. Thanks!
