Thank you for purchasing the DuraTrax Nitro Evader BX.
This manual contains the instructions you need to build,
operate and maintain your new nitro R/C buggy. Read over
this manual thoroughly before building or operating the Nitro
Evader BX.
When the safety precautions are followed, the Nitro Evader
BX will provide years of enjoyment. Use care and good
sense at all times when operating this radio controlled
buggy. Failure to use this vehicle in a safe, sensible manner
can result in injury or damage to property.You and you alone
must insure that the instructions are carefully followed and
all safety precautions are obeyed.
•
Do not operate the Nitro Evader BX near people.
Spectators should be behind the driver or at a safe
distance away from the vehicle.
•
Water can cause the electronics to short out and can
cause permanent damage.
•
Always turn on the transmitter before turning on the receiver.
•
Before turning on your radio, check to make sure that no
one else is running on the same frequency as your Nitro
Evader BX.
•
The engine and exhaust produce quite a bit of noise. If
you are disturbed by the amount of noise this buggy
produces, wear ear protection such as earplugs. Do not
run this vehicle when or where it can disturb others.
•
The engine and exhaust can become very hot. Avoid
touching any of these parts during use and until they
have cooled down.
•
Model engine fuel is poisonous. Make sure you read and
follow all of the precautions on the fuel container. Keep
fuel out of the reach of children.
•
Model engine fuel is flammable and when ignited has a
flame that is difficult to see. Avoid sparks, flames,
smoking, or any other ignition source when fuel is near.
•
The engine emits carbon dioxide just like real cars. Do
not operate this model indoors.
•
Fully extend the transmitter antenna before operating
your vehicle.
•
Avoid working over a deep pile carpet. If you drop a small
part or screw, it will be difficult to find.
•
Place a mat or towel over your work surface.This will prevent
parts from rolling off and will protect the work surface.
•
Avoid running the buggy in cold weather. The plastic and
metal parts can become brittle at low temperatures. In
addition, grease and oil become thick, causing
premature wear and poor performance.
•
Test fit all parts before attaching them permanently.
