Tekno RC Pro Throttle Linkage for Revo

[MattHiggins]

http://www.rccaraction.com/Media/MediaManager/tecknorevolinkage.jpg

The Tekno RC Pro Throttle Linkage will provide you with the smoothest bind-free throttle response available for the Traxxas REVO 2.5 and 3.3 vehicles. Say good-bye to wide open throttle problems and stuck carburetors. Throttle response time is quicker due to the innovative design. Your throttle servo won't be subjected to as much stress, which means fewer burnouts and stripped servo gears.

The Tekno RC linkage uses a ball cup and bearings to pull the carburetor arm straight out without any fuss. Ball cups have been used for throttle applications for years in just about every nitro vehicle on the market and now it's available for the REVO.

Custom designed and race tested, our new throttle arm is CNC machined out of 6061-T6 aluminum and is blue anodized to match the look of your REVO. In true Tekno RC fashion, everything needed for an effortless installation is included in the package.

Smooth bind-free operation
Faster throttle response
CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum throttle arm
Bearings and all hardware included
Bolt-on installation (TKR1001 recommended)
Part # TKR1011
Compatible with stock or aftermarket servo horns
Fits under stock body
Fits around roll hoop/bar
Side pipe configurations still possible

Contents: (1) Tekno RC blue anodized CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum throttle arm, (2) 5x8x2.5mm bearings, (2) Tekno RC throttle linkage rods, (1) nylon ball cup, (1) return spring, (1) stopper (collar with setscrew), (1) mounting bracket, necessary hardware to mount everything, detailed installation instructions.

NOTE: We have designed this product with the Traxxas TRX 2.5/R and 3.3R engines in mind. It may work with an array of other engines but compatibility is only guaranteed for Traxxas TRX Engines.

this would definitely be a nice addition to my revo. how much? and is it out yet?

Looks like it would work nicely on a Savage...

[awnelson]

Looks nice but it looks like it hangs out further than the stock one????

Hopefully it never gets hit and sticks wide open.

Hate to be a hater, but i dont like it being on the outside of that roll bar. I also wonder how well that will work, if you have a rear brake kit installed...

No hating necessary :)

We were initially concerned about this as well. But after months of testing, it simply hasn't been a factor. Of course anything is possible and nothing is unbreakable, but it would take a very precise hit, missing the rear tire, completely missing the roll hoop (if you're running it), and hard enough to bend some pretty strong metal.

To put it into perspective, there are thousands of people running the RX/Battery Box + Fuel Tank Conversion with aftermarket fuel tanks that are not as well protected as the stock tank. They are much bigger targets and aren't secured nearly as well as our new throttle linkage. This hasn't been an issue with the tanks or other parts in that area and we believe it will be even less of an issue with the new linkage.

It mounts to the stock servo horn in the exact same position as the stock throttle linkage, so rear brake fitment is the same as stock. It works equally well with aftermarket servo horns as well.

Some side pipe configs will work too. We're using the Jato Resonator with the HPI86163 header and everything fits.

Post any other questions, we'll be happy to answer them. Thanks.

Like the laser etched logo :D.

I don't mean to sound like a kiss-up, but I run everything that Tekno makes for my Revo and I doubt that they would put out a shoddy product. I have had throttle servo issues before, and I have broken the throttle arm once before (don't ask me how lol)

But how much? If it's anything over $20 I bet I could find something else that be a better way to spend it.

Checked the Tekno website....$25.95

I`m glad I seen this.I almost bought it earlier today to use with a TM but a TM doesn`t have a ball stud to open the carb. oh well

[Hugh]

$25.95.. :eek:

[teknorc]

That is the MSRP, you'll be able to find it for a few dollars lower than that. We've had a few people mention that they think the price is a little much. Please understand that this kit comes with a bunch of custom pieces to make it all possible, not just a newly designed throttle arm.

The kit comes with the machined aluminum arm, bearings, newly designed throttle linkage rods, a ball cup, spring, stopper (collar w/setscrew), custom bracket, and all of the necessary hardware to mount it. Price it out separately and our MSRP is quite fair, not to mention that it works very well to ensure proper throttle response.

Also, we have had people with OS TM's try this out and they have reported that it works well if you get a ball end for your carb.

Thanks for the info tekno.I run all your stuff and if I can find a ball carb I will run this to

BTW, here is a link to the product with full info.

I just want that blue throttle arm, capable of being used on a hitec servo. Nobody in the RC world makes custom servo horns.

***Off-topic Alert***

Since the TeknoRC guy is hanging around here.....

It would be nice if you guys would make another version of your receiver box where it has a hinged lid that is secured by a body clip instead of the three screw design like you have now. I'm getting ready to add a Spektrum receiver to my Revo, but it is going to be a pain in the butt to have to unscrew the lid everytime just to bind my receiver to my radio. It only takes a moment to bind it now on my Kyosho truggy with its hinged lid.

It would help for folks who want to run multiple vehicles at the track.

Thanks!!
