How does one go about doing a carb flip? I'd REALLY like to be able to adjust the low end needle on the fly. Hate having to remove the fuel tank to have easy access.

What does the linkage look like? How much modification is needed? I could probably figure it out, but as long as there's this forum....hee hee.

Like many others apparently, this is the first new R/C car I've bought in about 10 years. LOVE IT!! To think...I used to think Traxxas sucked. That certainly has changed!! Traxxas ROCKS!

Thanks in advance for the help!

you must have a maxx if you are trying to due a carb flip, you should really post in the tmaxx forums.

here you go, you flip the carb and rebend the linkage, you do need some kind of return spring i found this kind worked the best. its easy if you just use a pic as a guide. maxxtraxx also has a post about flipping the carb, actually its an article. www.maxxtraxx.com (http://www.maxxtraxx.com)
