preparing to run your X-terminator 2 rtr nitro buggy
Now that you are familiar with the major component parts of your X-Terminator 2 RTR Nitro Buggy, and with the functions of the
pistol-grip transmitter, it's time to prepare your x-Terminator 2 RTR Nitro Buggy for its first run.
IMPORTANT
Before continuing, please double-check that you've read and understood the warnings on page 2. It's important
that you understand this information before preparing to run your X-Terminator 2 RTR Nitro Buggy. Also, remember, if you have any
questions or encounter any problems, you can contact your local distributor using the Customer Service Information on page 3.

Make sure to read these Operating Instructions in their entirety before starting. This will allow you to become familiar with the
X-Terminator 2 RTR Nitro Buggy, XTM Racing 24.7 Nitro Engine and pistol grip radio control system.
●
Double-check all of the fasteners to ensure that they're tight.
●
After installing the receiver batteries into the battery holder, fit a rubber band or cable tie around the battery holder. This will prevent
the batteries from coming loose when doing jumps, etc.
●
If you have difficulty sliding the receiver antenna wire through the antenna support tube, first pull the antenna wire through your
fingers several times to straighten it, then lightly wet the antenna wire with glass cleaner. The glass cleaner will make the antenna
wire slide through the support tube much easier.
●
When testing the steering, lift the front of the XT2 off the ground. This will allow the steering system to operate smoothly, without
any binding.
●
If the carburettor barrel does not open completely when you pull the throttle trigger, turn the throttle trim dial on the transmitter until
the carburettor barrel opens completely when you pull back fully on the throttle trigger.
●
When oiling the air filter element, place the cleaned air filter element in a plastic bag and then apply the air filter oil on it. Close
the bag and work the oil into the air filter element. This allows you to work the oil into the element without getting excess oil on
your hands.
●
When you pinch the fuel line to stop the engine, you must pinch it hard and hold it. The engine will rev up quickly, then stop. We
suggest holding the XT2 while doing this, so that it doesn't lurch out of your hands.
●
Other than during the break-in period, always make sure that you install the body when driving your xT2. When your xT2 flips
over, the body will help protect the chassis and its components.
●
Place the chassis on a dedicated car stand or similar so that all four wheels are suspended off the ground. This ensures that your
XT2 does not accidentally drive away when starting the engine if the idle setting is too high.
❑
Install the wheels onto the chassis, making sure to tighten the wheel retaining nuts
firmly, using a 17mm wrench.
+
Notice that the back of the wheels are moulded to key over the hex-shaped wheel
hubs. All four wheels and tyres are the same size.
IMPORTANT
Double-check that the tyres are glued onto the wheels. If they're
not, glue the tyres onto the wheels, using C/A tyre glue. See page 50 for information
on how to glue the tyres onto the wheels.
