MAINTAINING YOUR X-TERMINATOR 2 RTR NITRO BUGGY

Following a simple maintenance schedule will ensure that your X-Terminator 2 RTR Nitro Buggy operates in top condition every time

you use it. It is strongly recommended.

●

Check the chassis for any loose screws, especially the engine and the outdrive cup mounting screws. Tighten them if necessary.

●

Any screws that are threaded directly into metal should be secured into place with threadlocker. This will prevent the screws from

loosening during use. Screws threaded into nylon or composite material do not require threadlocker.

●

Check the steering linkage and the throttle/brake linkage for any signs of wear or misalignment. Tighten and/or

readjust them if necessary. Double-check that the grub screws in the collars are tight.

●

Once in a while, remove the wheels and clean the wheel bearings, using a bearing cleaner. This will remove any dust

and grit that may, over time, damage the bearings. After cleaning the bearings, reoil them using a good quality

bearing oil. Never run the bearings dry or damage to the bearings will result.

●

When you clean the wheel bearings as described above, also remove, clean and reoil the clutch bell bearings.

●

Check the fuel system, including the fuel tank and fuel tubing, for any signs of cracking or looseness. Replace any fuel tubing you

suspect may be damaged.

●

Check the condition of your transmitter and receiver batteries after each time you drive your XT2. If you think they might need

replacement or recharging, do so before driving your XT2 again.

●

After a period of time the chassis will accumulate a lot of dirt and debris, especially around the engine area. This buildup should

be cleaned off using a high-powered spray cleaner like Emerald Nitro Car Cleaner. Some nitro car cleaners will damage

anodised and/or plated parts. Test on an inconspicuous area rst.

●

After cleaning the chassis and engine with Nitro Car Cleaner, you should oil the moving parts of the chassis. Do

not oil the clutch bell, spur gear, driveshafts (dogbones) or the brake discs.

●

Always use new fuel and keep the cap on the fuel tightly closed. As fuel ages it absorbs water, which degrades the

fuel's performance and will cause erratic engine operation.

squirt several drops of high-quality after-run oil into the glow plug hole and into the carburettor opening.

Pull the pull-start cord several times to distribute the oil throughout the engine, then reinstall the glow

plug and copper washer. This will prevent corrosion inside your engine.

●

Never leave unused fuel in the fuel tank for more than a couple of days. The nitromethane and methanol in the

fuel will evaporate, leaving the oil behind. This will eventually turn into a thick sludge that will require replacement

If you need to remove the engine to clean it or change the clutch bell, etc., it's important that you set the gear mesh between the

clutch bell and spur gear properly when reinstalling the engine; otherwise, the spur gear may be damaged or the gears may bind.

the spur gear. Next, place a piece of notebook paper between the clutch bell and the spur gear, and
