What Am I Doing Wrong?

[fasttimes]

Ok, just got done with my Super Clod Buster Build. Cant afford the dual ESC right now so I am using the mechanical. I am using the Futaba servo horn for the throttle with the 2 holes. When I insert the throttle rod in the first hole per the manual the servo throw at full throttle goes past point 3 on the speed controller cutting off power, when I insert the throttle rod into the second hole per the manual to reduce throw, it is now too short at full throttle and not getting enough current. My controller only has adjustment for throw on the steering servo.

Any suggestion fellas?

yes, u just need a different servo horn which has a hole that is midpoint between your Holes 1 & 2 above

should be a bunch provided when your servo is new

if you have the 4 or 6-armed horn, each arm has differently spaced holes

so find the one which works best and snip off the rest if they get in the way of anything

As for the price of the esc the tamiya one is too expensive to my mind and I used a Viper RV12 from modelsport.co.uk and ran Y leads to both motors! It is way cheaper than tamiya's teu103 and the Viper is waterproof and easier to setup in my opinion! This is the esc I use in my Original Clod and boy is it far better than the msc!
