Throttle return spring 4 8ight-T with Axial
I have a Losi 8ight-T with an Axial .28 engine and I'd like to hook up a throttle return spring to it. Does anyone have any suggestions on what spring to use and how to mount it?
I've tried a few different springs but I haven't found one with the right strength to let the throttle open and close correctly.
Thanks,
Tony

If you are having frequency or component problems, a return spring won't do a darn thing. The only time a return spring will work, is when the car loses battery power, due to a bad solder joint or dead battery. Even then, many servos are hard to pull back, and a spring stiff enough to pull it back will add stress to the servo when it's working properly.
With that said, it's still a good idea.
