Sharkfat78 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Not catching on the airfilter is it? The linkage I mean? I had the same problem where although the servo would return to the right spot, the linkage was catching on the airfilter or fuel tube, stopping it from returning all the way after breaking. I got fed up with it in the end and bought a Yamadude linkage from Bashfest in May. Awesome linkage in my opinion and no problems since. I've also picked up some of the collets so I can ditch the black plastic adjuster on the end that adjusts the brakes. KM ftw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkfat78 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 You might be able to sort it temporarily by twisting the black plastic part where the two linkages meet. So its sitting parallel to the air filter. Its only a temp fix though until it twists itself back again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Give them a try ... but don;t expect them to last long! If you enjoy running on tarmac, then you might want to invest in a set of Hostile slicks, but at 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feedtheinferno Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) No it's a different mod as they are held with a c-clip and the c-clip loves to pop off into the distance never to be seen again. Most people again do the bolt and nut through the centre and washer on the rear of the axle so it doesn't ever come off Edited September 2, 2014 by Feedtheinferno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babylon Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Another question, Are the grey parts plastic, Or are they dyed nylon parts.

Bigjimknickers Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 When mine runs right, which it is now it has a fresh NGK plug, it shifts very well, its a ported 30.5cc, I had the 002tx with a 29cc engine & I think this is faster, but not much. IMO the alloy upgrades are pretty nice & worth the extra. I don't know if the parts are plastic or nylon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
