Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Traxxas Nitro 4-Tec. This manual
contains the instructions you will need to operate, and maintain
your Nitro 4-Tec. Look over the manual and examine the Nitro
4-Tec carefully before running it. If for some reason you think
the Nitro 4-Tec is not what you wanted, then do not continue
any further. Your hobby dealer absolutely cannot accept a Nitro
4-Tec for return or exchange after it has been run.
The Nitro 4-Tec's new TRX 2.5 Racing Engine™ is the most
powerful engine of its size ever available in a Ready-To-Run car.
Two years of engineering development, advanced design, and
thousands of hours of testing put the TRX 2.5 in a class by itself.
Each part of the TRX 2.5 - from the air filter on the slide
carburetor, to the tip on the dyno-tuned exhaust system - has
been carefully engineered to provide maximum power over the
broadest RPM range.
Traxxas was the first with standard on-board electric starting.
The new second generation EZ-Start has evolved into an
incredibly advanced and reliable starting solution, featuring
thermal protection for the motor and built-in diagnostics to
monitor the condition of the glow plug.
In this manual, we'll take you step-by-step through all necessary
set-up, break-in, tuning, and operating procedures. Even if you
are an experienced R/C enthusiast, it is important for you to
read and follow the procedures in this manual. Pay
particular attention to the fuel requirements and break-in
procedures.
The advanced design of the TRX 2.5 racing
engine does not follow traditional old-fashioned thinking
regarding fuel and break-in procedures.
