RE: NEED HELP-TORNADO S30-BRAKE PAD BURNED
reply for 1:servo works just fine with radio commands. reply for 2:when radio is turned on throttle remains about 3mm wide. that's the closest i can get with linkage connected. without linkage throttle moves in full circle. i also tried to link servo and throttle the other way but i could not get the idle screw tightened. lets come to main point......when i turn on the radio,servo remains in middle(normal position), and plate which sits around low speed needle which connects to servo rod and throttle remains at 45 degree position facing downwards towards rear tires of buggy.and hence when i brake on radio that plate just bends....so is it normal ? i'm afraid i'd break the poor plate(which i think made of plastic). now one more question.......when u start engine how should you set the idle speed...i mean with idle screw or with low speed needle ? i hope i have answered your questions correctly. thanks again.........

RE: NEED HELP-TORNADO S30-BRAKE PAD BURNED
yeah i disconnected servo linkage from the throttle and i can move carb throttle now with the linkage.....so i think u r right about trim setting wrong.....i tried to move nut holding linkage from throttle side to adjust to zero(idle) position but i couln't move with long nose pliers because there is not enough place for wrench there. any suggestions ?? i think i'm getting close to my normal engine....thanks to your genius mind Dads like rc too thanx again bro.

RE: NEED HELP-TORNADO S30-BRAKE PAD BURNED
Still throttle is really jammed, and it don't seem it's linkage problem because all the links with servo works just fine.(no matter what u do it just cannot be back at zero position) it did scream for about 15 seconds and then nasty smoke came out of brake so i turned it off. and yes i cleaned brake pad with little screwdriver so i'm able to move the wheels but still it chocks a bit when the burnt part come in contact with two small metal plates. so wheels are moving but freely. i was afraid of messing things up more so i didn't open those two small plates. Thanks Dads like rc too for your support. it was great help.

RE: NEED HELP-TORNADO S30-BRAKE PAD BURNED
I just investigated and found out that carb throttle is jammed that's why unexpected over acceleration happened. it's just brand new buggy. any idea redcat will replace it for me ??

NEED HELP-TORNADO S30-BRAKE PAD BURNED
I just received my brand new Tornado S30 yesterday. During first step of engine break-in process,(with factory default settings) within first 60 seconds engine accelerated to full speed without moving tires and i saw smoke coming out from brake pad(i think, the round disc attached to spur gear box) and it melted the brake pad. Now i cannot move tires as burned brake pad is stucked.(it was moving well before starting the engine) i also checked 4wd system before starting the engine and it was working fine. The gap between gears was fine too. The only thing i found unusual was Low speed needle was loose from factory. it was like that small black rubber thing was holding it and it was not tightened with the carb. Thaks in advance.
