  Slide the receiver's on/off switch to turn the receiver on. You should hear the servos 

move to their proper positions.

STEP 2: rangE CHECKing THE raDio ConTroL SySTEM

To  ensure  that  the  radio  control  system  is  operating  properly  and  to  prevent  any  chance  of  a  runaway  model,  the  radio  control 

system  should  be  range  checked  before  the  first  run  of  the  day  and/or  after  a  crash.  To  range  check  the  radio  control  system, 

do the following:

  With the transmitter and receiver turned on, extend the transmitter antenna completely.

  With  the  X-Terminator  2  RTR  4WD  Nitro  Buggy  on  the  ground  (without  the  engine  running)  walk  away  from  it  about  75  feet 

(25M).  Move  the  steering  wheel  while  looking  at  the  Nitro  Buggy's  wheels.  The  wheels  should  pivot  back  and  forth  as  you  rotate 
the steering wheel back and forth.

  If  the  radio  system  does  not  operate  properly,  please  refer  to  the  troubleshooting  guide  on  page  #  22  before 

continuing  further.  Never  attempt  to  operate  your  X-Terminator  2  RTR  4WD  Nitro  Buggy  if  the  radio  control  system  is  not 
functioning properly.

Always  turn  on  the  transmitter  first,  followed  by  the  receiver. After  you're  done,  turn 
off the receiver first, then turn off the transmitter. This will prevent the possibility of a 

runaway model or damage to the servos.

STEP 3: DoUbLE-CHECK THE STEEring anD THroTTLE/braKE ConTroLS

Pro  TiP

  We  suggest  doing  the  steering  tests  while  lifting  the  front  of  the  chassis  off  the  ground.  This  will  allow  the  steering 

system to operate smoothly, without any binding.

  Slide  the  transmitter's  ON/OFF  switch  up  to  turn  on  the  transmitter. The  green  LED 

should glow brightly. Some transmitters have both a green and red LED.

iMPorTanT

 Your transmitter has power indicator LEDs. Check your radio instructions 

to ensure that the batteries you are using (dry or rechargeable) have sufficient power 

to operate the set.

  With  the  transmitter  and  the  receiver  turned  on,  rotate  the 

transmitter's wheel forward (to the right). The front wheels should 
turn right.

iMPorTanT

 If the wheels don't turn right, flip the steering servo 

reversing switch on the transmitter to change the direction that the 
front wheels turn. Refer to the transmitter information on page # 5 if 
you don't remember how to use the servo reversing switches.
