Before you start running your Nitro TC3 RTR, read your engine break-in instructions on the next page thoroughly. If
you run your NTC3 without following proper break-in procedure, you may damage your engine, fail to get maximum
performance from your engine, or void your warranty.
NOTE:

Install radio system batteries...
...Into the transmitter (8 cells) and car (4 cells)
as shown above. Be sure to use only high-quality
alkaline or rechargeable Ni-Cd AA-size batteries.
Check operation of radio system...
...Turning your transmitter wheel makes the car’s front wheels steer left and
right, and automatically return to center when transmitter wheel is re-
leased. Make sure that pulling transmitter trigger opens the carburetor
throat, and pushing the trigger forward applies the rear wheel brakes.
Carefully check pull start rope length...
...making sure
you never pull out
the rope to it’s full
length. Doing so
can cause
damage, and the
rope may not
retract. Quick,
short pulls (12”)
on the starter are
the best technique
for starting your
engine.
Get ready to fire it up!
Turn on the
transmitter FIRST,
then the car’s
receiver switch.

igniter to the glow
plug. Hold the
front of the car a
little higher than
the rear to aid
Oil the foam air cleaner element...
...by treating the foam elements of
your air filter with a few drops of
pre-filter oil. Work the oil into the
filter inside a small plastic bag to
minmize the mess.
Fill the tank with one of the
approved fuels...
Lift the lid on your car’s fuel tank,
insert the fill tube, and slowly
squeeze until tank is full. Be careful
not to overflow, as spilled fuel may
damage radio gear or brakes.
