The radio control system

WARRANTY SERVICE

Before returning your Baja Bullet electric truck for warranty consideration, the status of the unit must be within the guarantee as stated above.  Do not return your
truck to the place of purchase.  They are not authorized or equipped to perform warranty work on XTM Racing products.  When requesting warranty service, please
observe the following:

Crash damage will not be covered under warranty.  Do not request warranty service for a crash-damaged product.

If you are requesting warranty on anything other than just the radio control system, always send your Baja Bullet complete with the transmitter.  Please unplug and/

or remove the batteries both from the transmitter and the truck before returning it.  We like to have the truck complete so it can be thoroughly tested before returning it
to you.

If you are requesting warranty service for only the radio system 

(except the Bullet Electronic Speed Control)

 do not send the radio system or the truck to us.

Remove the radio system from the truck and return it to Hitec/RCD for warranty consideration.  See Special Notice above.

Include a note detailing the problem or service you are requesting.  Service cannot be provided without this information.  Include your daytime phone number, shipping

address and/or email address in the event we need more details pertaining to the service requested.

If your Baja Bullet is out of the warranty period you may request an estimate of services at the time you return your truck for service.  An omission of this request

implies permission for XTM Racing to service your truck at our discretion.

Include a method of payment for any service charges.

Send the unit to us by United Parcel Service, Federal Express or by Insured Mail.  Postage is non-refundable.  Send your package to:
