aPPLying THE DECaLS:
❑
Carefully peel the protective layer from off the top of the body.
iMPorTanT
The body is covered by a thin plastic protective layer at the factory that prevents damage to the body during assembly
and shipping. This protective layer must be removed before you apply the decals.
❑
Remove the decals from their protective backing and adhere them onto the body as you like.
inSTaLLing THE boDy:
❑
Fit the body onto the chassis, using the body clips provided to hold it in place.
❑
Double-check that the body does not interfere with the wheels, the suspension or the tuned pipe. If it does, you will need to
trim the body slightly to fit around those areas.

Other than during the break-in period, always make sure that you install the body when driving your X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD
Nitro Buggy. When your Nitro Buggy flips over, the body will help protect the chassis and its components.

Chassis alignment and geometry are important if you want your X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy to perform well. A good performing
vehicle means a vehicle that is easier to drive, too. Follow our guidelines in this section to get the most out of your Nitro Buggy.
iMPorTanT
It's very important when making changes to the settings of your X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy that you make
the settings the same for each side. For example, if you change the spring tension on the right front shock, you should change the
spring tension on the left front shock the same amount, etc.
Do not make any changes that are more than 3 degrees from the initial settings listed or the handling characteristics of your X-Terminator
2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy will become very poor.
The brake linkage on your X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy is preset from the factory; however, after running the Nitro
Buggy for a while you may find that the brake linkage needs adjusting. Follow the information below to check and adjust the
brake linkage:
With the transmitter and receiver turned on, and the throttle/brake trim lever centred,
the X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy should roll forward smoothly (i.e., the brakes
should be disengaged). If the brakes are dragging when the throttle trigger is at neutral, the
brake discs will wear out very quickly. To ensure that the brakes are disengaged, always
make sure that there is a /6" (mm) wide gap between the two rear steel adjustment
collars and the brake levers. Both steel adjustment collars should be adjusted so that they
are equal distance behind each of the two brake levers. This will ensure that both brake
levers engage equally during braking.
●
To make adjustments to the brake linkage, simply use a .5mm hex wrench to loosen
the grub screw in the adjustment collars behind the brake levers and reposition them, then
retighten the grub screws.

Since the front and rear brakes can be adjusted independently of each other, you may not want both front and rear brakes to engage
at the same time. If you want the rear brakes to engage just before the front brakes, move the collar at the front brake lever just a
fraction further back from neutral. This will result in the back brakes engaging just before the front brakes. If you want the front brakes
to engage just before the rear brakes, move the collar at the rear brake lever just a fraction further back from neutral. This will result
in the front brakes engaging just before the back brakes. Experimentation will be necessary to achieve the desired braking response,
dependant on your track conditions and driving style.
