In  addition  to  the  items  listed  on  the  previous  page,  the  following  tools  and  supplies  will  also  be  required  to  run  and  maintain 
your X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy:

  "8 Pack" AA Alkaline Batteries for Transmitter

  "4 Pack" AA Alkaline Batteries for Receiver

  High-quality After-Run Oil

  XTM Racing Air Filter Oil

  Nitro Car Cleaner

  Small, Flat Blade Screwdriver

  #  and # 2 Phillips Head Screwdrivers

  Assorted Metric Hex Wrenches

  Adjustable Open-End Wrench

  Assorted Weights of Silicone Shock Oil to Tune the Shocks and Differentials (Optional)

Each  radio  system  comes  with  a  sticker  on  the  transmitter  and  on  the  receiver  showing  which  frequency  the  radio  system  operates 
on  (either  in  the  27MHz,  40MHz  or  75MHz  band).  No  two  radio  systems  can  operate  nearby  each  other  if  they  are  on  the  same 
frequency.  You  can  purchase  transmitter  and  receiver  crystals  separately  and  change  them  if  you  plan  on  running  your  X-Terminator 
2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy with other people.

antenna:

 Transmits the signal from the transmitter to the receiver. The antenna should be completely extended during use.

battery Cover:

 This cover houses the 8 AA Alkaline batteries that power the transmitter.

Crystal:

 This is the frequency crystal of the transmitter. You can change crystals in both the transmitter and the receiver so that you and your friends 

can drive at the same time. No two radio systems nearby can be operated on the same frequency.

on/off Switch:

 Turns the transmitter on and off. L.E.D.s show the power status of the batteries.

Servo  reversing  Switches:

 Allow  you  to  quickly  and  easily  change  the  direction  the  servos  rotate  by  just  flipping  the  switches.  The 

switches are located under the removable plastic cover.

Steering  Wheel: 

Controls  your  X-Terminator  2  RTR  4WD  Nitro  Buggy's  steering.  Turn  the  wheel  to  the  right  and  the  Nitro  Buggy  turns  right.  Turn 

the wheel to the left and the Nitro Buggy turns left.

Steering  Dual  rate  Control  Dial:

 This  dial  adjusts  the  overall  travel  of  the  steering  servo.  Push  the  dial  forward  for  maximum  steering  (~00%). 

Pull the dial back to reduce steering travel (minimum ~20%).

Throttle/brake Trigger:

 Controls the speed and braking ability of your X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy. Pull the trigger to accelerate, release 

the trigger to decelerate, and push the trigger to brake.

Steering  Trim  Dials:

  These  dials,  one  for  steering  and  one  for  throttle/brake  control,  allow  you  to  fine  tune  the  servo's  centre  by  turning  the 

dials on the transmitter back and forth.
