Well, i had a few people ask how
to do this, and wanted more pics, and details. So, here it is. First, you'll
need two of the linkage rods with clips at the end. I like these because
its they are very durable, they polish to a chrome like finish, and dont
cost alot.
You
will also need a servo horn, with one arm, to fit the two linkage sliders.
The linkage sliders actually screw into the servo arm and allow the linkage
to pass thru them. I used the traxxas brand.
Above
is a close up of how the clips look when attached properly. Being that they
are white, almost clear in color, they can be died to suit your taste.
In total, you shold be able to do this for less than 8 dollars. From my LHS, it cost maybe 5 bucks.
You'll need the following items to complete this.
2 linkage rods with clips
4 linkage rod stops (like the anodized ones on the setup)
fuel tubing
servo horn (one arm style)
2 linkage rod sliders (traxxas)
The
pictures hopefully explain it for you, or at least give you a good enough
idea how to do this. All of the bends were done carefully with needle nose.
Just take your time, and do the throttle first. Check to make sure nothing
rubs, or interferes with anything else, and you should end up with a very
durable linkage setup, that looks real nice too. I ran this setup on my
truck today, and had NO problems at all. So, take a look, and if you have
anymore questions, just shoot me an e-mail, or post em here.
Thanks, Matt.
