pREpARING TO RUN YOUR x-TERmINATOR 2e
n
Transmitter and Receiver
q Double-check that your transmitter is turned 'OFF'.
q Install the 'AA' Alkaline batteries into your transmitter, double-checking to make sure that the polarity (+/-) is correct. For more
information, refer to the separate radio control system Operating Manual included.
q Slide the receiver antenna wire into the antenna support tube.
q Push the end of the antenna support tube rmly down into the antenna mount.
IMPORTANT: Leave any excess antenna wire hanging from the top of the antenna
support tube. Under no circumstances should you cut the antenna wire shorter.
PRO TIP: If you have difculty sliding the antenna wire through the antenna support tube in the next procedure, rst pull the antenna
wire through your ngers several times to straighten it, then lightly wet the antenna wire with glass cleaner. The glass cleaner will
make the antenna wire slide through the support tube much easier.
q Open the receiver box.
q Uncoil the receiver antenna wire and feed it out through the hole in the top of the
receiver box, then snap the receiver box cover closed, making sure not to pinch any
of the wires.
IMPORTANT: Verify that the steering channel and throttle channel servo leads are
plugged into channel 1 and channel 2, respectively.

Separate instructions are included for the radio control system and the brushless electronic speed controller/ESC programming card
included with your X-Terminator 2e. Make sure to read both of them thoroughly, in addition to this Operating Manual, before running
your model for the rst time.
l
Double-check all of the fasteners to ensure that they're tight.
l
Do not overtighten any screws that thread into nylon or composite material, or the material may strip out. Screws threaded into nylon
or composite material need only be tightened snugly.

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 tting the body shell.
l
The ESC battery leads feature male battery connectors on both the positive and the negative leads. This allows plug-and-play
compatibility with most hard-case Li-Po car battery packs and allows easy dual battery pack wiring with the use of one simple adapter.
If you prefer to change the connectors, make sure to observe correct polarity and use heat-shrink tubing to insulate the solder joints.
l
Always make sure that you install the body shell when driving your X-Terminator 2e. If your X-Terminator 2e ips over, the body shell
will help protect the chassis and its components.
l
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.
l
If the motor does not seem to be producing full power, double-check that your batteries are fully charged, then double-check that your
transmitter's throttle channel EPA is set to 100%.
l
Before making programming changes to the ESC using the ESC programming card, remove the pinion gear from the motor. This will
ensure your safety and prevent any chance of a runaway model.
