Page 6 Step 3: Installing Your Engine Assembly Install your engine to the chassis, taking care to ensure that the engine is lined up properly and that the gear mesh between the clutch bell and the spur gear is correct. It's important that the gears do not bind. Set your engine assembly onto the chassis and temporarily hold it in place, using the four M5 cap screws.

When reinstalling the covers, The receiver and battery box covers have been preinstalled. You'll make sure that they snap firmly need to remove them first before installing your receiver and battery.
Page 8 Step 8: Installing and Adjusting the Throttle and Brake Linkage Install the two linkage wires onto your engine's throttle arm and through the brake levers, then install the servo arm onto the servo, making sure that it's centered, as shown. You'll need to first connect your radio control system and turn it on to center the servo. Make sure that the throttle trim lever on your transmitter is centered, too.
Page 9 Step 10: Tuned Pipe and Fuel Line Installation Install the tuned pipe onto the header, using the silicone coupler and cable ties, then secure the tubed pipe to the tuned pipe mount.

Page 10: Section 4: Preparing To Run Your X-Terminator Pro
Step 12: Mounting the Body Carefully cut out the clear body along the molded scribe lines, using a pair of Lexan scissors. Using 220 grit sandpaper, carefully sand the edges of the body smooth and straight. Be very careful not to scratch the body during this process.
Page 11 Step 2: Double-Check the Steering and Throttle and Brake Controls With the transmitter and the receiver turned on, rotate your transmitter's wheel forward (to the right). The front wheels on the X-Terminator Pro should turn right. IMPORTANT If the wheels don't turn right, flip the steering servo reversing switch on your transmitter to change the direction.
Page 12: Section 5: Fueling And Starting Your Engine
SECTION 5: FUELING AND STARTING YOUR ENGINE The following procedures show the general way to start a nitro engine mounted in the XTM Racing X-Terminator Pro. The starting procedures for your particular engine may differ. Make sure you are familiar with the starting and running procedures for your engine.
Page 13 Step 1: Adjusting the Toe Angle The toe angle is the angle of both front tires (or rear tires) to each other, when viewed from above. Toe-in is when the front of both tires point toward each other and toe-out is when the front of both tires point away from each other. For the front tires, toe-in will make your buggy track straighter, but the steering will be more sensitive.
Page 14 Step 3: Adjusting Shock Spring Tension By adjusting the spring tension of the shocks, you can increase steering sensitivity and increase the ride-height of your buggy. How you drive your buggy will dictate what settings you should be using. As an example, if you're using your buggy off-road and going over lots of jumps, you may want to increase the spring tension of the front shocks to help prevent the front of the buggy from bottoming out.
Page 15 Step 6: Adjusting the Front and Rear Differentials The X-Terminator Pro features front and rear gear differentials that each feature five o-ring seals and cup-style housings. Both differentials are packed with differential grease that is good for most driving conditions. You can make fine-tuned adjustments to each differential by removing the differentials from the chassis, opening them up and replacing the grease already inside the differentials with heavy-weight silicone shock oil.
