This section lists the recommended tools and supplies that you need to purchase and have onhand to finish assembling and to run and 

maintain your new X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy. We have tested these items extensively with the X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD 
Nitro Buggy and found that they offer the best in reliability and value. 

WHaT fUEL Do i USE?

Fuel can make a big difference in the way your engine performs. For the break-in period you should use a fuel specifically designed for 

R/C car engines that contains no more than 20% nitromethane and 0%~4% oil content. Once the engine has been adequately broken in  
(about 45 minutes of run-time) you can switch to an R/C car fuel containing up to, but no more than, 30% nitromethane and 0%~4% oil  
content.

Warning

 We do not recommend using fuels designed for R/C aircraft engine use. These fuels do not contain the proper amount of 

lubricants; therefore, they will cause the engine to overheat and severe damage to the engine will result.

Do i nEED To PUrCHaSE EXTra gLoW PLUgS?

Yes. Even though your XTM Racing 24.7 engine comes with a glow plug already installed, glow plugs wear 
out, especially during the break-in period; therefore, it's a good idea to have a couple of spares handy. We 

recommend using a "medium" or "hot" heat-range glow plug intended specifically for performance engines 

like the XTM Racing # 4 (P/N 4602) or the XTM Racing # 3 (P/N 46020) during the break-in process. 
After the break-in period you may want to use a different heat-range glow plug. Do not use glow plugs 
intended for four stroke aircraft engines or glow plugs with an "idle bar". Using the wrong type of glow plug 

will cause the engine to run erratically and make it difficult to tune properly. The wrong type of glow plug 

could also damage the engine.

Normal Use

USE THE foLLoWing fUELS for THE bEST PErforManCE:

(use this fuel for break-in and normal use)

30% nitro Car fuel

 

(use this fuel after break-in for more power)

Do i nEED To USE a fUEL boTTLE?

Yes. Because fuel is packaged in larger containers, you will need to use a smaller 

bottle with an extension wand to fill the fuel tank. Fueling using this method is much 

easier and a lot less messy.

Use This to Fill the Fuel Tank

HoW Do i rEMoVE THE gLoW PLUg?

A  long  reach  glow  plug  wrench  is  necessary  to  easily  and  quickly  remove  and 
replace glow plugs.

WHaT Do i USE To igniTE THE gLoW PLUg?

A  glow  starter  is  a  battery-operated  device  that,  when  attached  to  the  glow  plug, 
heats the glow plug so that the engine can start. The glow starter is then removed 
after the engine is running.
