While holding the chassis off the ground, push forward on the

throttle trigger.  The rear wheels should spin clockwise as shown.

Release the trigger and the wheels should stop spinning.

Section 5:  Electronic Speed Control

The ESC included in your Baja Bullet truck does not require any programming or setup.  This is done for you automatically when you
turn on the transmitter and the truck.  Listed below is some information you may find useful about the ESC:

The ESC includes a brake and reverse function.  When you let go of the throttle trigger, the truck will coast.  When you push the

throttle trigger, the truck will brake.  When you push the throttle trigger all the way forward, the truck will go into reverse.  Note that the
truck will not instantly go into reverse if it's moving forward.  It will brake first, then go into reverse.  This saves wear on the motor and
drivetrain.

The ESC includes signal and temperature protection circuitry.  The ESC will not work if there is a problem with the signal or a low

battery.  In this case the red and green LEDs will flash.  To reset the ESC, turn the ESC off and on again - you may need to recharge the
battery first.  If the ESC has overheated, it will stop and the red and green LEDs will light continuously.  The ESC will resume use
automatically after the ESC's temperature has dropped lower than 80º - 90º Celsius.

Using a pair of scissors cut out each decal along its outer edges.

Carefully adhere the decals to the body using the photos on the box cover to position them.

Section 6:  Installing the Body

Double check that no parts of the body

touch the tires or suspension arms.  If any
parts are touching, remove the body and
use a pair of scissors to trim the body to
clear any obstructions.

Note:

There is a predrilled hole in the

top of the body for the antenna tube to exit.

The body height can be adjusted by

removing the screws holding the body
posts in place, readjusting the height of
the posts, then reinstalling the screws.

Make sure to leave enough clearance

for shock travel.

Place the body onto the chassis, mak-

ing sure the three predrilled holes in the
body slide over the three body posts.

Secure the body in place using three

metal body clips.
