pREpARING TO RUN YOUR x-TERmINATOR 2e
n Checking the Steering and Throttle Controls, Continued....
As a safety precaution to prevent damage to the drivetrain, the X-Terminator 2e must be stopped before going into reverse. When
the X-Terminator 2e is moving forward and you push the throttle trigger to go into reverse, the X-Terminator 2e will begin to brake
and come to a stop. To go into reverse, release the throttle trigger momentarily, then push the throttle trigger again.
n Throttle Control Range Calibration
Before running your X-Terminator 2e for the first time, we recommend that you calibrate the throttle to ensure that you're achieving
maximum throttle range. To calibrate the throttle control range, follow these procedures:
q Double-check that the ESC is turned 'OFF', then connect your charged battery pack(s) to the ESC battery leads.
q Turn your transmitter 'ON', check the throttle channel servo reversing function is set to REV (Reverse), then adjust both throttle
channel End Points to 100%. For more information, refer to the separate radio control system Operating Manual.
q While holding down the Set button on the ESC, turn the ESC 'ON'. Wait approximately 4 seconds until the orange LED turns solid,
then release the Set button.
q Pull the throttle trigger to full throttle. The red LED will flash, then the red LED will turn solid and the ESC will beep once.
q Push the throttle trigger to full reverse. The orange LED will flash, then the orange LED will turn solid and the ESC will beep twice.
q Release the throttle trigger to the neutral position. Both the red and orange LEDs will flash simultaneously, then turn solid and the
ESC will beep three times.
q Turn the ESC 'OFF', then turn the ESC back 'ON'. The throttle range has now been calibrated and the ESC is ready to use.
n Using the ESC Programming Card
The X-Terminator 2e includes an ESC programming card that is used to make programming changes to the ESC. A number of
different options can be customised to suit the user's desired setup. 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. The following ESC options can be customised:
Low Voltage Cutoff
l
Running Mode
l
Motor Timing
l
Initial Acceleration
l
Reverse Throttle Limit

q Pull the throttle trigger. Both the front and rear wheels should spin forward.
q Release the throttle trigger and the wheels should stop spinning.
IMPORTANT: If the wheels don't spin forward, use the transmitter's throttle
channel servo reversing function to change the direction that the wheels turn. For more
information, refer to the separate radio control system Operating Manual included.
q Push the throttle trigger. Both the front and rear wheels should spin backward.
q Release the throttle trigger and the wheels should stop spinning.
