Ultymate Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Purely a matter of taste, but I always whenever possible use a cable between the throttle servo and the carb and rely on the throttle spring to close the throttle. This greatly reduces the amount of vibration being fed directly into the servo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Smith 1 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Nice tidy work there, Rich. Do you know what size/type of prop you will use? Was the servo matching unit easy to do the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always leave the springs in place. I've never had an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I've got a 28 x 10 for it, I can't remember the brand - I'll use decent CF ones when I stop breaking them! Yes, the X24 unit is a doddle to use once you get the hang of it. I am very pleased with it. I also may want to use twin receivers so we'll see how easy that is to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
