JayVee did you get that linkage issue resolved??
#202
no not yet. Haven't farted around to much since. I am also dealing with the leaking blow by on the exhaust. I just haven't bought hose clamps for that issue. Dealing with personal house and family issues for the past 2-3 days... My 18yr old son all of sudden looked down and noticed he had balls... To his epic fail, they just weren't bigger then mine and there is not enuff room for 2 real men in one house hold. Hope the grass is greener on the other side... the end of that story!

Messed around with the baja and the small issues yesterday and looked into the problem of another bug with the baja. The issue resolved is the exhaust leak blow hy from the coupler. I went out and bought liner hose clamps and ran the engine for approx 10 min with clean results! No oil/gas mix pouring out! Now back up front with the steering servo arm angle. I resorted to the manual just to see the recommended set up and angle. The arm itself seems to be s et at the recommended 10deg slant. But the ball end seems to be on the highest point of the steering servo arm which is the reason for the exaggerated angle of the arm and potential fail or pop off during use not getting enough bit on the ball ends do to the angle. I will disconnect everything...again! And pull the rx box to make this adjustment tomorrow or so. Its such a pain with a T with the Baja Bros mount and side mount...grrrrrr! Now I see why the B is so much more popular and easy for open maintenance.

I just said what it was... Its mounted on the wrong mounting holes on the servo steering arm which misaligned it from one end to another causing that extreme tilt or angle. Thats easy...I am just glad to fix that blow by in the exhaust coupler. I also going to swap the stock rx for my futaba.

Oh yeah! I got her started, idel, scream in throttle the whole 9. Just not driven due to the steering arm adjustment required. Its been about a week I haven't touched it due to personal issues here and there I am currently dealing with on a daily basis. I jump back on her here shortly.
