❑ Slide the receiver's on/off switch to turn the receiver on. You should hear the servos
move to their proper positions.
STEP 2: RANGE CHECKING THE RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM
To ensure that the radio control system is operating properly and to prevent any chance of a runaway model, the radio control
system should be range checked before the rst run of the day and/or after a crash. To range check the radio control system,
do the following:
❑ With the transmitter and receiver turned on, extend the transmitter antenna completely.
❑ With the X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy on the ground (without the engine running) walk away from it about 75 feet
(25M). Move the steering wheel while looking at the Nitro Buggy's wheels. The wheels should pivot back and forth as you rotate
the steering wheel back and forth.
IMPORTANT If the radio system does not operate properly, please refer to the troubleshooting guide on page # 22 before
continuing further. Never attempt to operate your X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy if the radio control system is not
functioning properly.
X-TERMINATOR 2 RTR 4WD NITRO BUGGY SAFETY TIP
Always turn on the transmitter rst, followed by the receiver. After you're done, turn
off the receiver rst, then turn off the transmitter. This will prevent the possibility of a
runaway model or damage to the servos.
STEP 3: DOUBLE-CHECK THE STEERING AND THROTTLE/BRAKE CONTROLS
PRO TIP We suggest doing the steering tests while lifting the front of the chassis off the ground. This will allow the steering
system to operate smoothly, without any binding.
❑ Slide the transmitter's ON/OFF switch up to turn on the transmitter. The green LED
should glow brightly. Some transmitters have both a green and red LED.
IMPORTANT Your transmitter has power indicator LEDs. Check your radio instructions
to ensure that the batteries you are using (dry or rechargeable) have sufcient power
to operate the set.
❑ With the transmitter and the receiver turned on, rotate the
transmitter's wheel forward (to the right). The front wheels should
turn right.
IMPORTANT If the wheels don't turn right, ip the steering servo
reversing switch on the transmitter to change the direction that the
front wheels turn. Refer to the transmitter information on page # 5 if
you don't remember how to use the servo reversing switches.
