PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING!
Before you throw down this manual and try to
start your NEXT Truggy, please continue read-
ing for just a few minutes. In addition to impor-
tant safety precautions, below you will also nd
some quick tips for getting the maximum en-
joyment out of your new nitro vehicle.
We would sincerely like to thank you for your
purchase and hope that you enjoy the fun
and excitement that come from owning a high
performance nitro R/C vehicle.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
NEXT Truggy is not intended for use by chil-
dren without direct supervision of a responsi-
ble, knowledgeable adult. Trinity Products Inc.
shall not be liable for any loss or damages,
whether direct, indirect, special, incidental, or
consequential, arising from the use, misuse, or
abuse of this product and/or any product or ac-
cessory required to operate this product.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
Always, turn on your transmitter rst before
turning on your vehicle’s receiver switch.
When turning an R/C vehicle off, the order is
just the opposite; turn the receiver switch off
rst and then turn the transmitter off. Just re-
member that when your truck is turned ON,
your transmitter should always be turned ON.
If not, your NEXT Truggy will no longer be un-
der the control of your transmitter, and could
unexpectedly take off on its own causing dam-
age to itself and other people.
Never use old, worn out batteries in your trans-
mitter or truck. Use only fresh alkaline batter-
ies or fully charged rechargeable batteries to
ensure that you will not exceed the range of
your radio system while driving your truck.
Nitro vehicle engines get very hot. Take care
when handling your vehicle to keep from burn-
ing your ngers.
Keep nitro fuel away from all sources of heat
and open ame.
Keep nitro fuel away from eyes and do not
take internally. If ingested follow instructions
on the fuel container and call physician.
Never use cleaning spray of any kind on your
Truggy until it is completely cooled down. Us-
ing cleaning spray on a hot engine will cause
a re.
Make sure you always keep the exhaust point-
ing away from your hands and face as hot
exhaust gasses and unburned fuel will be ex-
pelled when the engine is running.
Never store your Truggy with fuel in the tank.
Only run your Truggy in safe, open areas that
will not put anything or anyone in danger of
a collision. Use common sense when driving
your truck to insure that you are not causing a
potential hazard to anyone (crowds of people
and conned areas should be avoided).
Although the NEXT Truggy is small and light-
weight, it can still hurt when it runs into you at
ankle height. It can also startle someone who
is not expecting it, so it is extremely important
to ALWAYS keep a safe distance between any
people and the path of your truck (don’t forget
this includes yourself).
Never run your NEXT Truggy through puddles,
wet grass, snow or any other type of moisture.
Also never use any liquid cleaners around the
electronic components on your NEXT Truggy.
Any small amount of moisture can cause se-
vere damage to your electronics.
If you will be running with other R/C vehicles,
always conrm before turning your transmit-
ter on, that no one else is using your same
frequency channel. If necessary, you may
change frequencies.
Always let your cool down completely between
runs (2 tanks of fuel) when the weather is hot.
Over heating the engine will cause failure of
the plug and could cause damage to the en-
gine. Always let your engine cool down with
the piston at the bottom of the stroke, the point
in the engine revolution where there is no re-
sistance.
Prolonged running on high drag surfaces like
grass, can cause excessive heat and cause
premature failure of the clutch and engine.
GETTING STARTED
The rst thing you need to do is install the bat-
teries in your transmitter and into the radio box
to power the receiver.
8 “AA” batteries go into the bottom of the
transmitter and 4 “AAA” batteries go in the cell
holder located in the radio box.
By removing the clip that holds the lid on you
will see the battery holder that holds the 4
“AAA” cells.
Check the life and proper installation of your
batteries by switching the transmitter to on.
You should see all three LED’s light up (red,
yellow, and green). If you do not, your batter-
ies may be low on voltage or you may not
have installed them all correctly.
As the life of your transmitter batteries begins
to decline, the green LED will no longer light.
When you notice that you are down to only
the yellow and red lights, this is a caution sign
that it is time to install new batteries. We rec-
ommend changing both the transmitter and
receiver batteries at the same time. If you con-
tinue operating your Truggy and
see that the yellow light goes out (and only
the red light is lit), STOP IMMEDIATELY! Your
Truggy may easily travel out of range causing
you to lose all control, which could result in a
collision causing damage to the vehicle
or other property.
ASSEMBLING THE ANTENNA
Locate the plastic antenna tube (found inside
the box). Also locate the black antenna wire
coming out the radio box. Thread the antenna
wire into the plastic antenna tube until it comes
out the other side. Pull the remaining wire
through the tube, and then press the tube into
the antenna mount in the lid of the radio box.
Bend the antenna wire down around the tube
and install the black rubber antenna cap
on the top of the tube. You may then wrap the
remaining wire around the tube.
DO NOT cut the antenna wire off! This could
shorten the range of your radio system.
LEARNING THE TRANSMITTER
Before turning on your Truggy, please famil-
iarize yourself with the controls and adjust-
ments of the radio transmitter. You may use
the following diagram to conrm the location
and function of each of these features.
A - ON/OFF Switch: Controls power to the
transmitter.
B - Steering Wheel: Steers the vehicle left and
right.
C - Throttle Trigger: Controls the speed and
the brakes of the vehicle.
D - Throttle Trim: Adjusts the neutral position
