your safety, then do not attempt to start it. Do not run the vehicle at all and please contact us to make arrangements

Follow these steps before each drive session:
1. Mix Gas and 2-Stroke Oil
• Pump gasoline – 87 octane or higher – ethanol-free gas is highly recommended
• 2-stroke oil. Amsoil Saber (recommended): Mix 25:1 ratio (gas/oil)
2. Check to make sure you have a fully charged receiver/servo battery in truck.
3. Check to make sure your transmitter batteries are good.
4. Check all servos (Steering, Throttle, Brake, Reverse).
• DON’T start your vehicle’s engine yet!
• Turn your transmitter on.
• Turn the truck’s battery switch on (located in the back of roll cage).
• Hold the trigger on the transmitter into full brake position. Confirm that the brakes prevent the truck from moving
when you try to push it. If it rolls easily adjust brakes as described in the Assembly Instructions section above.
• Test left and right steering servos by lifting the front of the truck and moving the servos via the transmitter.
Ensure the servos are moving smoothly and there is no excessive play or binding. Adjust as necessary.
• Test throttle servo by giving full throttle and ensure carburetor is moving to full throttle position.
5. Check Remote Engine Kill Switch:
• DON’T start your vehicle’s engine yet!
• Make sure the Manual Engine switch is ON (located on frame under front right wheel well).
• The Remote Engine Kill switch system is located on the truck near your receiver box and has an LED light. The
light is GREEN when it is ready to start and run. If the light is RED this means the Remote Kill switch is on and
your engine will not start. Your transmitter’s third channel button operates the Remote Kill switch.
• To test the Remote Kill switch, press the third channel button on the transmitter. The light should turn RED.
Press it again to change it back to GREEN before you run the truck.
6. Check the Radio Fail Safe: The radio system that comes with the truck has a fail safe automatically installed
ensuring that if your transmitter’s signal is not reaching your truck’s receiver the brakes will be applied
automatically. To test:
• DON’T start your vehicle’s engine yet!
• Turn your transmitter on.
• Turn the truck’s battery switch on (located in the back of roll cage).
• Turn your transmitter off.
• Your brake servo should now apply the brake on its own.
• You have now confirmed that the failsafe is working. Should the receiver lose signal from the transmitter, the
brake will automatically be applied.
• Turn your transmitter back on for normal use.
7. Go over truck to make sure there are no loose screws.
8. Check lug nuts by tightening with provided wrench. Ensure the serrated side of hex nut is facing the rim.
