THE TRX 2.5 RACING ENGINE

When the EZ-Start controller
is in protection mode, wait
at least three minutes before
attempting to start the
engine to give the starter
motor time to cool.

It’s normal for your EZ-Start
controller to become warm
after repeated use.

See page 35 for information on
clearing a flooded engine.

Using the EZ-Start

Your EZ-Start controller plugs into a 4-prong receptacle mounted on the
battery box of your Nitro Rustler. When the red button on the controller
is pressed, the EZ-Start motor begins to spin the engine and power
from the control unit heats the glow plug. Assuming all settings and
preparations are correct, the engine should start almost immediately.

Each of the two status indicator LEDs on
the hand-held control unit, the

Motor

LED and the

Glow Plug

LED, should

light green while starting. If either LED
fails to light while starting, there is a
fault indicated with that function.

If the

Glow Plug

LED fails to light, the

glow plug may be bad, or the glow
plug wire may be damaged
or disconnected.

If the

Motor

LED fails to light and

the starter fails to operate, then the
EZ-Start is in protection mode.

Protection Mode

The EZ-Start uses Smart Start

technology to monitor the condition

of the system and detect failures. The controller monitors the load
being placed on the EZ-Start motor. If the load becomes excessive,
the system shuts off power to the motor to prevent costly damage
to the motor and the controller. This may occur, for example, if the
engine floods with fuel during starting. The starter spins at first, but
when excessive fuel in the combustion chamber begins to lock up the
engine, the starter motor slows under the heavier load. This causes the
protection circuit to shut off the power to the motor.

Allow at least three minutes for the starter motor to cool and the
circuit to automatically reset before continuing. Use the time to find
and eliminate the condition that caused the excessive load on the
starter motor.

Use a Strong Starter Battery

A weak starter battery, or one that has not been fully charged, may
not deliver enough power to crank the engine over at the appropriate
RPM to keep the piston from sticking at top dead center (TDC). A new
engine will typically have a tight fit between the piston and the top of
the sleeve. This is a tapered fit, and a tight piston sleeve fit on initial
start-up is desirable for those who want the best-performing engine.
Make sure you are using a good quality battery pack that is fully
charged (new batteries usually require several charge cycles to reach
peak voltage and full capacity). This is especially important with a new
engine that needs to be broken in. If the engine sticks at TDC, see
page 35 for instructions on freeing the engine.

Shutting Off The Engine

Turning off the switch for the radio will not shut off the engine. To
shut off the engine, pinch the fuel line. Squeeze the line closed to shut
off the fuel supply to the engine.

Avoid shutting off the engine by placing your finger over the exhaust
outlet, especially if you are through driving for the day. This will
leave more unburned fuel in the engine that could lead to harmful
corrosion.

Always be careful not to touch the exhaust pipe after

running. It can become very hot.
