Default Your favorite throttle linkage.

I'm starting on my gas mono now and have seen a few throttle linkages and am looking for a good one.
What one(s) do you prefer?

I have two, and my prefered choice is the BH Hanson push / pull through bellcrank style.



With luck you can see it here bottom right. I also have one boat with the cable linkage and so far have not been able to get the slack to work out properly for consistant thottling.

I like that style that Glenn is showing or a very simple style is the ones from CC Racing.
This way its a good possibility to keep your throttle & rudder servo in one mount. Also keeps the pushrods straight. As in the case on my new Sprintcat, both are lined up perfectly in a Dr Bucks radio box.

I've got an Aeromarine throttle linkage ordered but wondering if there is a better one. I like the idea of using a pushrod over trying a flexible cable.
I talked to Zac last weekend and he advised using an angled top Aeromarine radio box over the Dr. Buck's for better access without having to move the pipe every time I need to get in there.
What's great about dealing with Zac Price so far is that he's been advising me to buy parts that he doesn't sell instead of trying to sell me what he does have as better choices.

That style also allows you to operate the throttle without the radio, as you can freely move the throttle arm on the carb.
