❑
Carefully pull the air filter assembly off of the carburetor, so that
you can see the carburetor barrel.
❑
Pull back on the throttle trigger. The carburetor barrel should open
completely and the brakes should be disengaged (i.e., the truck should
roll smoothly).
❑
Let go of the throttle trigger and the carburetor barrel should
return to its idle position - open about 1/16". The brakes should still be
disengaged, too.

PRO TIP
✦ ✦
✦ ✦
✦
If the carburetor barrel does not open completely, turn the throttle trim dial on the transmitter until the carburetor barrel
opens completely when you pull back fully on the throttle trigger.
❑
Push the throttle trigger forward. The carburetor barrel should
stay in the idle position (open about 1/16") and the brake linkage should
move forward and engage the brakes (i.e., the truck will not be able to
roll at all).
❑
Let go of the throttle trigger and the brakes should disengage.

IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
If necessary, you can adjust the brake linkage by
sliding the wheel collar (on the brake linkage wire, behind the brake
lever) forward or back. See page # 18 "Adjusting the Brake
Linkage" for more details.
❑
Turn off the transmitter and receiver for now and push the air filter
back onto the carburetor.

WARNING
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
Under no circumstances should you operate the engine without the air filter installed on the carburetor. The air filter
prevents dust and debris from entering the engine and damaging it. If you operate your engine at any time without the air filter
installed, the engine will not be covered under warranty should it need repair.
Step 4: Wetting the Air Filter
To prevent damage to your engine, we strongly recommend "wetting" the air filter element, using a high-quality filter oil or after-run oil.
If you will be running your X-Factor2 in extremely
dusty conditions, we suggest using a prefilter
sleeve over the air filter. Wet the main filter
element as described below, then simply slide
the prefilter sleeve over the main filter. It's not
necessary, nor desirable, to wet the prefilter
sleeve. We suggest using XTM Racing 1/8th
Scale Prefilter Sleeves (P/N 149412).
X-FACTOR2 UPGRADE TIP
❑
To wet the air filter element, simply squeeze an ample amount of air filter oil or after-run oil onto the filter element and work it through
the filter element, using your fingers. Use enough oil to completely saturate the filter element. The entire filter element should be oiled,
but not so much that excess oil is dripping from it.
