❑
Slide the receiver antenna wire into one end of the antenna support tube and
out the other end.
❑
Push the end of the antenna support tube firmly into the antenna mount (you may
have to loosen the nut), then
gently
tighten the nut to lock the antenna support tube
into place.
IMPORTANT
Leave the excess antenna wire hanging from the top of the antenna support tube. Under no circumstances should
you cut the antenna wire shorter.
PRO TIP
If you have difficulty sliding the antenna wire through the antenna support tube in the next procedure, 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.
❑
Slide the transmitter's ON/OFF switch up to turn the transmitter on. The green
LED should glow brightly. On some transmitters both the green and the red LEDs
will glow brightly.
IMPORTANT
If the green LED does not glow or if only the red LED is glowing,
check the batteries in the transmitter and replace them or recharge them (if using
rechargeable NiCD or NiMH batteries). It's important that the batteries you are
using (Alkaline or rechargeable) have sufficient power to operate the transmitter.
❑
Slide the receiver's ON/OFF switch to turn the receiver on. you should hear the
servos move to their proper positions.
Before driving your xT2, always turn on the transmitter first, followed by the receiver.
After you're done driving your xT2, turn off the receiver first, then turn off the transmitter.
This will prevent the possibility of a runaway model or damage to the servos.
saFety tip
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 xT2 on the ground (without the engine running) walk away from it about 75 feet (25 meters). Move the steering wheel
while looking at the XT2's wheels. The wheels should pivot back and forth as you rotate the steering wheel back and forth.
IMPORTANT
If the radio system does not operate properly, please refer to the troubleshooting guide on page 23 before continuing
further. Never attempt to operate your X-Terminator 2 RTR Nitro Buggy if the radio control system is not functioning properly.
WARNING
Never attempt to recharge Alkaline batteries. Doing so could cause them to explode.
❑
Remove the four screws from the receiver mounting box cover, then remove the
receiver mounting box cover.
❑
Uncoil the receiver antenna and feed it out through the hole in the antenna mount,
then reinstall the receiver mounting box cover, making sure not to pinch any of the
servo wires.
IMPORTANT
Verify that the steering and throttle servo leads are plugged into
channel 1 and channel 2, respectively.
