This truck is intended for users that have extensive experience with gas R/C vehicles and 2-Stroke engines.
1. Position main frame and axles on a surface with enough clearance for assembly.
2. Install the brake rotor on the driveshaft and install the drive shaft pin through the drive shaft and pinion gear shaft.
3. Slide the drive shaft from the axle into the drive shaft coming out of the transmission. Make sure the brake rotor is installed on
the axle.
4. Attach the axle to the four links already assembled on the main chassis.
5. Install shocks on the main chassis and axles. Note: hardware is already installed on axles and chassis.
6. Connect the two servo wires to the wires coming out of the receiver box. There is no preference for left or right servos –either
servo can go into either plug.
7. Attach top sway bar links to already installed sway bar on the chassis. Then attach lower sway bar links to the axle.
8. Install the brake calipers with one pad on each side of rotor (see diagram assembly instructions #66).
Note: The two bolts that hold the brake pads to the caliper should be installed using RED lock tight at the right position.
Without lock tight, these screws will come undone very easily.
10. Install the brake cables (see diagram assembly instructions #66). Make sure to route cables as smoothly as possible for
ease of operation. Cables should not be bent sharply. Zip-tie cable in strategic location to avoid snagging during operation.
Ensure suspension can travel smoothly without pulling on brake cable. See instruction video on www.primalrc.com/video/
TruckInstructions.
11. Initial brake cable adjustment: First, ensure your throttle servo is working properly and giving full throttle to carburetor. Then
in neutral (i.e. your throttle is not being applied) slide the brake cables into the brake servo cable splitter. Adjust the stop collars
so that the breaks are about to apply as soon as you trigger the transmitter to brake position. This adjustment is something that
you will fine tune to your needs. Front and rear bias can also be adjusted at the same time.
See instruction video on www.PrimalRC.com/Video/TruckInstructions.
12. Install wheels using supplied lug wrench. The hex nuts have a serrated side, ensure it is facing the rim.
13. Remove protective body film, then install stickers on the body.
See instruction video on www.PrimalRC.com/Video/TruckInstructions.
14. Charge the battery with included charger.
15. Install batteries into transmitter.
16. Follow the instructions in the “Before You Drive”, “Running Your Truck” and “After You Drive” sections of this manual.
