If your X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy's steering seems sluggish or slow to react, the servo 
saver spring could be too loose. To increase steering response, thread the servo saver adjustment 
ring up to tighten the servo saver spring.

Warning

  Tightening  the  servo  saver  spring  increases  the  chance  of  damaging  the  steering 

servo during a crash. Adjust only as necessary.
