Help with RC8 B3.1 Throttle / Brake linkage

[pbrazendale]

Hi all,

Picked up an RC8 B3.1 followed the instructions it was a nice build, been running the engine in today a couple of tanks of idle and a couple of very slow driving.

My issue is that the car idles nicely and I have full throttle control I.e the carb opens all the way at full throttle, the issue is when I brake, upon braking the engine cuts as the carb fully closes past idle.

I’ve been racking my brains for a few hours and can’t figure it out, I am new to this so any suggestions / pointers would be very welcome.

I have attached some photos and a video to show the issue.

Thanks in advance.
