XTM Racing X-Factor2, Operation Manual

If you would like to upgrade to a rechargeable NiCD or NiMH battery pack,
instead of using Alkaline dry cells, we suggest using the XTM Racing 5 cell
1000Mah NiMH RX Battery Pack (P/N 145801). Not only is this battery pack
rechargeable, it will operate the servos at a higher power rating, because of the
5th battery cell. We also suggest upgrading the on/off switch to one that
includes a separate charge cord. We suggest using the Cirrus On/Off Switch
with Charge Cord (P/N 444733). This will allow you to charge the receiver
battery pack without removing the battery box. When installing the switch,
make sure that you leave the charge cord outside of the receiver box, but
secured to the chassis, so it doesn't get damaged during use.

WARNING
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The
batteries could explode and cause serious injury.
X-FACTOR2 UPGRADE TIP
❑
Slide the receiver antenna into one end of the plastic antenna tube and out the
other end.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
To make it easier to slide the antenna through the tube, first make
sure there are no kinks or bends in the antenna wire, then wet the antenna wire with
glass cleaner. The glass cleaner will make the antenna slide easily through the tube.
❑
Push the end of the antenna tube firmly into the molded hole in the top of the receiver
box cover where the antenna exits.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
Leave the excess antenna hanging from the top of the tube. Under
no circumstances should you cut or shorten the antenna.
❑
Slide the transmitter's on-off switch up to turn on the transmitter. The green LED
should glow brightly.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
If the green LED does not glow or if the red LED is glowing, check the
batteries in the transmitter and replace them if necessary.
❑
Slide the receiver's on-off switch to turn the receiver on. You should hear the servos
move to their proper positions. Notice that the on-off positions are molded into the top of
the switch cover.

IMPORTANT
✦ ✦
✦ ✦
✦
Always turn on the transmitter first, followed by the receiver. After
you're done, turn off the receiver first, then turn off the transmitter. This will prevent the
possibility of a runaway truck or damage to the servos.
