	The throttle linkage can be made in two versions. We are going for the A option as mentioned in the manual. This option gives the easiest way to control break balance.
	Take a stopper and place a 3 x3 mm set screw three turns in using a 1.5 mm hexagon tool.  Make four of them.
	Take a 2 x 65 mm rod and turn it 6 mm into the ball cup.
	Slide the shown parts on the rod and lightly secure the right-hand side stopper using a 1.5 mm hexagon tool.
	Take the servo arm as shown and cut of the portion at the right hand side of the red line.
	Mount the throttle actuator rod to the servo arm at the bottom side using a 2 x10 mm scrw using a Philips head 1 screw driver. Use the center hole on the servo arm.
	This is how it should look viewed from the top.
	Take a knurled stopper and place a 3 x3 mm set screw three turns in using a 1.5 mm hexagon tool.  Make two of them.
	Take two 2 x 65 mm rods and place the knurled stoppers as the picture shows. Only tight them lightly.
	Take the black plastic brake parts and check out that one red marked part has a recessed hole to accommodate a screw head.
	Mount the black plastic brake parts as the picture shows.
	Slide a 2.6 18 mm screw in the black plastic part with the recessed hole.
	Take this plastic part from the plastic tree.
	Fit the plastic part with the red marked 2 x 8 mm screws to the servo arm using Philips head 1 screw driver. At the bottom of these screws fit a 2 mm nut with some light strength thread lock using a small pliers. Slide the lower brake rod from the bottom upwards into the hole of the plastic part.
	There are three 3 x 6.4 x 1 mm small washers to adjust the height of the upper and lower brake rod.
	Fit one or more height adjusting washers on the screw.
	Fit the upper brake rod as the picture shows and secure it with a 2.5 mm lock nut. Use a Philips head 1 screw driver and a small pliers.
	Fit at the top of the servo spline the correct servo output spline adapter.
	Fit the throttle/gas servo arm on the servo. Fit the ball cup of the throttle rod to the carburator ball Make the angle of the servo arm in line with the center of the car.
	Make sure the brake rods slide through the brake cams actuators freely and if possible in the center. If this is not the case adjust the number of washers and or the place to achieve free  movement.
	Adjust the white marked stopper so there is a preload on the spring that closes the carburator slide to its  idle position. Keep the servo arm in position by hand force and pull and release the throttle rod a few times. See if the carburator every time closes fully to idle position.
	Adjust the red marked end stopper so there is a gap of about 0.5 mm.
	Cut 2 pieces of 8 mm of the fuel tube using a sharp hobby knife.
	The manual does not mention it but they are available. Two 2 x 8 mm washers.
	Slide on each end of the break rod a 2 x 8 mm washer. Then a piece of silicone fuel tube. Then a stopper. Secure the stopper using a 1.5 mm hexagon tool.
