BASIC EngInE MAInTEnAnCE
To keep your engine operating at peak performance there are some basic maintenance procedures that need to be performed on your
engine on a regular basis:
l
After you are finished running the engine for the day, pinch the fuel line to stop the engine. This will allow the engine to burn any
excess fuel out of the crankcase.
l
Remove the air filter element and wash it thoroughly in warm water and a small amount of liquid detergent. After it's clean, allow it to
dry, then reoil it and install it back into the air filter housing.
l
Remove the glow plug and its washer from the engine and squirt several drops of high-quality after-run oil into the glow plug hole and
the carburettor opening. Pull the pull-starter cord several times to distribute the oil throughout the engine, then reinstall the glow plug
and its washer. The after-run oil will prevent the inside of the engine (especially the crankshaft bearings) from rusting.
l
Clean the outside of the engine using a stiff brush and nitro
car cleaner, then dry the engine, using a rag or compressed
air.
l
Periodically check the condition of the clutch for wear.
l
Periodically oil the clutch bell bearings.
l
Check the engine's cylinder head bolts and backplate bolts
after each day of use to ensure that they're tight. This will
prevent air leaks from causing erratic engine performance.
Loop four nylon cable ties around
the corners of the engine's cylinder
head, making sure that the ratchet
portion of the cable ties are up
toward you. When your
X
ST 4WD
Truggy RTR flips over, the cable
ties will help prevent the cylinder
head from being scratched.
EngInE TIP
CHASSIS TUnIng gUIDE
IMPORTANT:
It's very important when making changes to the settings of your
X
ST 4WD Truggy RTR that you make the settings
the same for each side. For example, if you change the spring tension on the right front shock, you should change the spring tension
on the left front shock the same amount, etc.
Do not make any changes that are more than 3 degrees from the initial settings or the handling characteristics of your
X
ST 4WD
Truggy RTR will become very poor.
Chassis alignment and geometry are important if you want your
X
ST 4WD Truggy RTR to perform well. A good performing truck
means a truck that is easier to drive, too. Follow our guidelines in this section to get the most out of your
X
ST 4WD Truggy RTR.
InSTAllIng THE BODy SHEll
STEP 1: APPlyIng THE DECAlS
q
For your convenience, some of the decals have already been applied to the body shell. To apply the remaining decals to the body
shell, simply remove them from the protective backing sheet and apply them to the body shell as you like.
STEP 2: InSTAllIng THE BODy
q
Fit the body shell onto the chassis, using the body clips provided.
q
Fit the wing to the wing mount, using the long body clip provided.
q
Double-check that the body shell does not interfere with the wheels, the suspension,
the engine's cylinder head or the tuned pipe. If it does, you will need to trim the body
shell slightly to fit around those areas.
PRO TIP:
Other than during the break-in period, always make sure that you fit the body shell when driving your
X
ST 4WD Truggy
RTR. When your
X
ST 4WD Truggy RTR flips over, the body shell will help protect the chassis and its components.
