Gents......anyone having issues with their throttle link not lining up straight with the carb?? Unfortunately, I’m deployed overseas, and can’t take a pic at this time. But I am almost certain I have everything installed right, and the center diff/servo mount only goes in one way, but it is “off-canter” to the servo link. And the throttle link not straight, and is pulling at an angle. Anyone else had this issue?? And if so, how did you fix?

Yep, I did that too, but I can only go so far, until the center diff/servo mount blocks the set screw (grub), to get to. Not understanding. Lol again, I wish I could take a damn pic! Haha but I’m about 2500 miles from home, literally. Lol

Maybe I could get my old lady to install the motor, and take a pic, but I’m not holding my breath. Haha

I replaced the set screw with a regular screw which allowed me to attach my throttle return spring to it and provide even pressure on the slide. That screw sits just above the servo mount so the ball is to the bottom left if looking at it straight on from that side of the engine.

no worries about the dirt, means you are racing!! Lol ok, so looking at that pic, you are doing exactly as I have done, thus far. But I still have an angle on my linkage. It’s almost as if my servo sits too high. But I’ve also taken out the spacers that go between the servo “bracket” and the mount, but it still seems to sit too high. Is there something I’m missing here??

God I wish I could send a pic!! Haha it’s killing me. It would prolly show you enough to tell me what I am doing wrong!

Actually, looking at that pic a little closer, I see that yours is at somewhat of an angle, left and right. But what I can’t tell, is the angle “up and down”. Is there any? Because I’ve been able to minimize the angle left and right, by doing what you did, turn the throttle linkage “ball”, but there is still a pretty good angle on mine, downwards. Can not figure it out! It doesn’t seem I can lower my servo anymore than it is, to match the height of my carb link and the arm.

It’s almost as if the center diff mount is placed a little TOO far back and high in relation to the engine in the kits design.

AND, I have Savox servo there as well! Lol so I don’t think it’s a servo size issue.

The engine I use is an FX 302, low profile head. The only thing I can imagine could be causing this, is something with the servo mount, or engine specs being different.

Mine has a slight bit of angle to it but it was the best I could do. In hindsight, I think the only other option is to use a short screw, rotate the collar until flat, pull the engine out to tighten the screw then reinstall. We have the engine out before the mains every race day anyway so we could check tightness while it's out. You wouldn't have access to that screw with the engine installed.
