Tekno RC Throttle Linkage Upgrade
I'm interested in some other opinions on this product. Personally I'm ready to buy it right now if it weren't for a lack of funds. Take a look for yourself and maybe just maybe I can justify the $.

RE: Tekno RC Throttle Linkage Upgrade
It's a good concept, except for those of us who run side pipes. It's close enough with the stock or qoncepts throttle linkage; it definitely wouldnt work on my revo. Other than that it would fix the binding carb slide that some of us face with the rotating linkage that revos use and make it more like the buggys and truggys.
edit: i just read that it still allows side pipe configurations. Maybe i'll give it a try and see, but i'm still skeptical.

Bump...is anyone using this yet? I can't for the life of me get the carb to open all the way on the .18tm. I'll still go ahead and break it in, but im not taking it out bashing until I get it right.

Well, I sold all my EZ Start crap for 31 bucks on ebay today. I went ahead and bought the Tekno throttle linkage and throttle servo mount. It'll be nice knowing that I won't have to worry about the slider opening all the way ever again. Both parts look nice too.

It may be high, but the way I see it is that its saving me hours of headache trying to get it just right. The carb slider will be one less thing to screw me over when I'm out bashing somewhere. Also, I paid 20 instead of 25.

I like the design but I dont like the fact that it sits outside the roll bar like that. It seems like it can easily be hit by something unless you have a side pipe protecting it.
For that price I'll spend the extra time adjusting.
