    CONTENTS After opening your X-Terminator 2e, remove all of the parts from the box and double-check that you have all of the items listed below. If you find a part is missing or damaged, please contact your regional distributor, using the Customer Service Information on page 3.

  • Page 5: Items Required To Operate And Maintain

    ESC programming card. n Battery Requirements The X-Terminator 2e can be powered using either one battery pack or two battery packs wired in series. You can use either Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, or Li-Po battery packs.

  • Page 6: Becoming Familiar With Your X-Terminator 2E

    Battery Holder: Moulded out of impact-resistant nylon plastic, the battery holder firmly holds the battery pack that powers the X-Terminator 2e. The battery holder is sized to fit most 6 cell Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery packs and 2 ~ 4S Li-Po battery packs.

  • Page 7: Brushless Power System Overview

    For more information, see page 9. The motor used in the X-Terminator 2e is a sensorless brushless motor. Therefore, the Sensor input on the ESC is not utilised. The motor leads from the ESC can be plugged into any of the motor leads from the motor without issue. If the motor runs backwards, swap two of the motor leads and the motor will run in the correct direction (counter-clockwise).

  • Page 8: Tips From The Pros

    If you prefer to change the connectors, make sure to observe correct polarity and use heat-shrink tubing to insulate the solder joints. Always make sure that you install the body shell when driving your X-Terminator 2e. If your X-Terminator 2e flips over, the body shell will help protect the chassis and its components.

  • Page 9: Battery Pack Installation And Power Connections

    TO RUN YOUR x-TERmINATOR 2e n Battery Pack Installation and Power Connections q Verify that the ESC On/Off switch is turned 'OFF'. To ensure your safety, it's important that the ESC be turned 'OFF' when connecting your battery pack(s).

  • Page 10: Checking The Steering And Throttle Controls

    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.

  • Page 11: Using The Esc Programming Card

    The ESC programming card can be powered by separate battery pack, or by the X-Terminator 2e's motor batteries for use at the track. In addition, all of the programming information is printed on the ESC programming card for the utmost in convenience.
  • Page 12 TO RUN YOUR x-TERmINATOR 2e n Using the ESC Programming Card, Continued..Powering the ESC Programming Card from the Motor Battery If desired, the ESC programming card can be powered directly from the motor battery. For your safety and the safety of others, prior to making any programming changes to the electronic speed controller using the ESC programming card, we strongly suggest removing the pinion gear from the motor.

  • Page 13: Installing The Body

    PRO TIP: Always make sure that you install the body shell when driving your X-Terminator 2e. If your X-Terminator 2e flips over, the body shell will help protect the chassis and its components.

  • Page 14: Chassis Tuning Guide

    Adjusting Gearing The X-Terminator 2e features a 13T pinion gear that will work well on a decent size track. If you're racing your X-Terminator 2e, you will probably want to experiment with different pinion gears. In general, using a smaller pinion gear (12T) will result in quicker acceleration, but slower top speed, and using a larger pinion gear (14T) will result in faster top speed, but slower acceleration.

  • Page 15: Adjusting Camber Angle - Front And Rear

    How you drive your X-Terminator 2e will dictate what settings you should be using. As an example, if you're driving your X-Terminator 2e 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 X-Terminator 2e from bottoming out.

  • Page 16: Changing Shock Springs - Front And Rear

    If the area where you drive your X-Terminator 2e is very bumpy, you might consider using softer springs to help absorb the bumps. If the area is bumpy and you use harder springs, the X-Terminator 2e will have a tendency to jump and hop around. The shock springs included with the X-Terminator 2e are suitable for most general off-road applications.

  • Page 17: Adjusting Bump Steer - Front

    Adjusting Steering Sensitivity - Front You can adjust your X-Terminator 2e's steering sensitivity by tightening or loosening the servo saver spring. In general, tightening the servo saver spring will cause the steering to be more responsive, and loosening the servo saver spring will cause the steering to be less responsive.

  • Page 18: Adjusting The Differentials - Front, Centre, And Rear

    Using a heavier weight oil will provide a more even amount of power to the front and rear. On loose tracks, this can cause the X-Terminator 2e to be too 'squirrely' (uncontrollable) or cause the rear end to slide out. For this reason, we only suggest using heavier oil if you're driving on a high-traction surface.

  • Page 19: Maintenance Guide

    GUIDE Following a simple maintenance schedule will ensure that your X-Terminator 2e operates in top condition every time you use it. It is strongly recommended. Check the chassis for any loose screws, especially the motor pinion gear and the differential pinion output joint grub screws. Tighten them if necessary.

  • Page 20: Troubleshooting Guide

    If you cannot solve a problem using this Troubleshooting Guide, please contact your regional distributor, using the Customer Service Information on page 3. For troubleshooting information related to the radio control system included with your X-Terminator 2e, please refer to the separate radio control system Operating Manual.
