Mtxl throttle linkage. What are you using?

[pyroM!ke247]

Just curious what other throttle linkage setups there are. The stock setup is bad about sticking. Just trying to figure out what everyone setup is.

There should be some more options..

I don't have a mtxl, but these are available for the dbxl...

That's weird, I've never had an issue with the linkages sticking. Are you confusing it for the servos just being weak and not going to center fast enough?

 

[pyroM!ke247]

No if I move the servo by hand it still does it. I'm gonna put the tps servo horn on it with the linkage. That'll be much better setup. I don't run kilskitches

You don't run a kill switch? Pretty ballsy lol

LOL BALLS of steel.

I also ordered a 990 carb,16t pinion, metal steering arm, and a aluminum intake heatsink. I have a esp 30.5 full mod in my hpi 5t. This stock engine with the jetpro will hang with it. Can't wait to install the carb and one tooth bigger pinion. Should be a perfect setup.

Got all my upgrades installed. I highly recommend the tps throttle linkage. Much less moving parts. More precise control as it eliminates 95 percent of the slop. A very good 25 dollar upgrade!!!!

Looks good, those small rods that go off the main one will cause binding as well if they are crooked or turned to much.

I got her adjusted perfect. The front brake rod is turned a bit like that so that its a free'er strait shot at that angle for the rear brake rod. Some of the angles are different with the tps, but its very free, loose and smooth when your off the brake. Also eliminated alot of end point adjustment. Stock setup was 140%.. The tps setup is 55%!! So the servo will work way less!
