• Remove the air filter top and foam element.
• Apply air filter oil (DTXC2465, not included) onto the foam element, squeezing the element until it is
completely coated with the oil. TIP! Placing the element in a plastic bag will help keep your hands clean.
• Remove any excess oil with a paper towel.
• Reinstall, making sure the filter is properly seated on the base.
• Replace air filter top.
• Fully extend the transmitter antenna.
• Turn the transmitter on, and then turn the receiver on.
• Turn the transmitter wheel to the right—the front wheels
should turn to the right. If not, move the steering servo
reverse switch.
• When running, adjust the steering trim so the truck
tracks straight.
• Pull the throttle trigger to make sure the
carburetor opens fully and the throttle linkage
functions properly without binding.
• Adjust the throttle trim until the carb is at the idle
position. Always adjust idle speed with the
throttle stop screw on the carb, not the throttle
trim (see page 7).
• Push the trigger and roll the truck to make sure
the brakes are applied.
