X-TErMinaTor 2 rTr 4WD niTro bUggy UPgraDE TiP

To prevent your X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy from going out of control should the radio 
control system encounter signal loss, we suggest using an electronic failsafe. The failsafe is con-
nected between the throttle/brake servo and the receiver. The failsafe is designed to electronically bring 
the throttle to idle and apply a preset amount of braking force should the radio control system lose 
its signal.

  Rotate  the  transmitter's  wheel  backward  (to  the  left).  The 

front wheels should turn left. 

  Let go of the transmitter wheel. The wheels should return to centre.

 If the wheels do not point straight ahead (centre) after 

you return the transmitter wheel to centre, turn the steering trim dial 
on the transmitter to adjust the wheels so that they point straight 
ahead. Refer to the transmitter information on page # 5 if you don't 
remember how to use the servo trim dial.

  Pull  back  on  the  throttle  trigger.  The  carburettor  barrel  should 

open  completely  and  the  brakes  should  be  disengaged  (i.e.,  the 
X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy should roll forward smoothly 
when pushed).

  Let go of the throttle trigger and the carburettor barrel should return 

to its idle position - open about /6" (mm). The brakes should still be 
disengaged, too. If the brakes are not disengaged when the throttle is at 
the idle position, see page # 7 "Adjusting the Brake Linkage".

iMPorTanT 

If the carburettor barrel does not open when you pull 

back on the throttle trigger, flip the throttle servo reversing switch on 

the transmitter to change the servo's direction.

Pro TiP

 If the carburettor barrel does not open completely, turn the throttle trim dial on the transmitter until the carburettor barrel 

opens completely when you pull back fully on the throttle trigger.

  Push  the  throttle  trigger  forward.  The  carburettor  barrel  should 

stay  in  the  idle  position  (open  about  /6"  (mm))  and  the  brake 
linkage  should  move  forward  and  engage  the  brakes  (i.e.,  the 
X-Terminator  2  RTR  4WD  Nitro  Buggy  will  not  be  able  to  roll  at 
all when pushed).

  Let go of the throttle trigger and the brakes should disengage.
