OPERATING RADIO THROTTLE/ BRAKE FUNCTION
a
a. Check the radio throttle/brake functions. With the radio transmitter and receiver on, pull the trigger / push the stick forward. The
carburetor should be fully opened and the brake disengaged. To reverse this function, flip the throttle/brake servo reverse switch.
b. Return the trigger / stick to neutral. The carburetor should be closed to a point where the idle has been set (see step 8 for settings),
and the brake still disengaged. If not, use the throttle/brake trim lever to correct it.
c. Push the trigger / pull the stick backward. The carburetor opening should still be the same at neutral, throttle spring compressed
slightly, and the brake engaged.

ADJUSTING THROTTLE / BRAKE LINKAGE
a
a. Idle: To set the throttle/brake linkage, first the radio should be on ( but do not start the engine)and the servo is at neutral position.
The factory setup of throttle linkage is about 28mm.(see picture) If it is not, please adjust the linkage to the proper length. The
carburetor opening should be in the idle position. (almost closed, but remain about 0.5~1mm opening inside the carburetor)
b. Full throttle: Now pull the full throttle. The brakes should disengage immediately. The carburetor should be fully open. If the
carburetor is not fully open, adjust the throttle linkage into 28mm (see above) to get the carburetor fully open. You may also adjust
your throttle trim according to your radio's instructions.
c. Brake: Push the trigger / pull the tick backward. The carburetor opening should be in the idle position. (almost closed, but remain
about 0.5~1mm opening inside the carburetor), but the spur gear will be hard to move. If it is not engaged, adjust the collars
(next to the spring) or setup in your radio to get the brake to engage properly. Be ware that the servo spring should not be completely
compressed.
