Nitroholic Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Few things to check here. 1) What is your throttle/brake linkage looking like. Picture would be handy here... 2) I assume the servo horn rotates in a different direction when you accelerate or brake? If it turns the same...it's not working right.....or the receiver isn't!

Martynp36 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Yes it moves in both directions i havetsken the horn off the linkage and throttle gos one way and brake gos other way. Are you on anything else so i can send a video of whag its doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) not really on anything else....but if you have somewhere to upload it, you can lionk it to the thread. If the servo is operating correctly from the input, and moving as it should,.,. then your linkage has probably not gone back the same way it came off, or something has got snagged somewhere. If you can't get a video...a picture of the linkage setup will help. From what I know ... the Raptor X uses a TVP chassis and the servo has a single horn running throttle and broke on 2 seperate rods running forward.

Martynp36 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Thanks guys after all that the reason its been doing that is because ive lost a stopper on the throttle linkage. The horn on the servo is moving the throttle linkage but not moving it properly on the brake. I just need to find part number MA2048 cant find it in this country tho. Are they all the same size coz there are some but dont want to buy them and them not fit properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Collets like that are common and any with the right diameter hole would work just fine. The rod is probably 2mm thick.... You will find similar parts on just about every nitro RC doing the same job. I had a bag of them from my local hobby shop...originally intended to hold wheels on rc planes. As I said...as long as the hole in the middle matches the diameter of your throttle/brake rod...it's all good. They clamp on with a grub screw Edited July 23, 2018 by Nitroholic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
