RevoAlternative Throttle Linkage Setup??
 
I absolutely HATE the throttle linkage setup on my Revo (2.5) and was wondering if there was an alternative setup somewhere.

here is the best on imo. i run it on some of my revos it works very well or you can make you own linkage. but this the only one that i know of. here is the link to the item. you can go wrong with it.

what motor are you running with it? it work with nearly all the bb kits as well. i have not used it with the Qoncepts kit yet but i think that i am going to try when i get my jammin 28. hope that helps.

I just ordered one of those from Impakt last week. Already burnt out a Hitec 645mg as wells my stock servo...time for a change and everyone that has one seems to have nothing but praise for it.

Right now I have an Fanrom Racing FR .27 but can't get to run it because the linkage wants to work, then it doesn't want to work the next day. By the way....racemaxx...that bug is creepy...lol...but I would like to see some pics as well.

I made a custom one using an HPI savage brake linkage rod. I will try to get some pics in a bit.

I just finished installing the Tekno linkage with my 3.3...boy, is it super smooth now! One complaint, though, is that I had to dremel the side of my body for it not to bind and work popperly. I will try to get some pics of it tonight.

One other question for those who are running the Tekno linkage...do you use a throttle return spring and, if so, how do you have it set up? I am running Spektrum so I have a failsafe against signal loss but not low voltage on the rx pack. With no throttle return spring, if my rx pack dies, I might be in trouble.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that wasn't happy with that linkage setup

These are the only pics I have. My truck is totally different but the throttle Linkage is the same. Sorry for the bad quality.
