Best way to install throttle return spring?
#16
Yep, but hasn't happened yet. Throttle linkage setup and a good cup should help to prevent that. I posted the picuture as it is an idea that works for me and hasn't let me down. Matter of fact I've had 100% more failures in bands than throttle linkage popping off. Just saying.

Any disadvantages when using elastics or springs for closing carb? Heat build up in the servo or excessive stress when elastics are too tight?

But now I have this brand new $150 Futaba servo that's real twitchy and had a runaway with another car a while back so between those 2 things, I'm trying to start using return springs.
I just got my Dynamite springs in the mail Friday and they look a lot better then the Nova springs so hopefully at least maybe I can now do something about the twitchy servo.
All my servos I run for T/B are at least 180/oz so I guess they're strong enough to tolerate the extra load?

Not mentioned. But I will add. Choose a digital cordless servo that moves really easy when not powered.

Usually it doesn't have to close the throttle completely when the engine is off, ones the engine is running the vibrations will help close it, test and see.
And I'm not sure what you're using to help close, but I don't have problems with Savöx.

Just a thought, if you had the servo for some time it might need to be serviced, it can collect a lot of dirt inside.
