pREpARING TO RUN YOUR x-TERmINATOR 2e
q Slide one battery pack into each battery holder, then pull the four battery retaining
straps tight to hold your battery packs securely in place.
In some cases, if the battery retaining straps are left too long, they can interfere
with the correct t of the body shell. If this occurs, cut away the excess material
from the battery retaining straps prior to installing the body shell.
q With the ESC On/Off switch in the 'OFF' position, make your battery connections. The
battery packs should be connected in series. To do this, plug one end of the adapter
you made into the positive (red) connector on one battery pack, then plug the other
end of the adapter into the negative (black) connector of the second battery pack.
Next, plug the free connector from each battery pack into the ESC battery connectors,
making sure that the polarity is correct. Positive (red) to positive (red) and negative
(black) to negative (black). For more information, see page 46.

Checking the Steering and Throttle Controls
IMPORTANT: Before checking the steering and throttle controls, we recommend placing the X-Terminator 2e on a car stand so
that the wheels are off the ground. This will ensure your safety and the safety of your model while testing the throttle control.
If your X-Terminator 2e features a 2.4GHz radio control system, your transmitter and receiver have already been paired and should
work correctly. If not, bind your transmitter and receiver again following the procedures in the radio control system Operating Manual.
q Turn your transmitter 'ON' and verify that it has sufcient power.
q Turn the ESC switch 'ON'. The ESC cooling fan will power up, the Status LED will
ash red twice and turn solid orange, then the motor will beep 3 times. This indicates
that the ESC is operating correctly and the motor is armed.
q Rotate the transmitter's wheel forward (to the right). The X-Terminator 2e's front
wheels should turn right.
IMPORTANT: If the wheels don't turn right, use the transmitter's steering channel
servo reversing function to change the direction that the front wheels turn. For more
information, refer to the separate radio control system Operating Manual included.
q Rotate the transmitter's wheel backward (to the left). The X-Terminator 2e's front
wheels should turn left.
q Let go of the transmitter wheel. The X-Terminator 2e's wheels should return to centre.
IMPORTANT: If the wheels do not point straight ahead (centre) after you return the
transmitter wheel to centre, use the transmitter's trim function to adjust the wheels
so that they point straight ahead. For more information, refer to the separate radio
control system Operating Manual included.
