Receiver: The receiver picks up the signals from the transmitter and sends those signals to the ESC and the steering servo. Shock: The shocks used on the Baja Bullet are oil-filled and use a spring that is well-suited for most off-road conditions. The shocks can be easily tuned for different driving conditions.
Note: If you find it hard to slide the antenna through the tube, apply a light coat of Windex to the antenna to make it slide easier. ® For more cool and exciting XTM Racing products, visit our website at http://xtm.globalhobby.com...

Push the end of the plastic tube firmly into the molded hole in the chassis. Note: Leave the excess antenna hanging from the top of the tube. Under no circumstances should you cut or shorten the antenna. Charge the motor battery using your AC/DC peak charger. Note: When you buy new battery packs, they do not come fully charged.
Never attempt to operate your model if the radio control system is not functioning properly. Doing so could be harmful to others around you and/or to your model. For more cool and exciting XTM Racing products, visit our website at http://xtm.globalhobby.com...

Checking the Steering Controls With the both the transmitter and the truck turned on, rotate the transmitter's steering wheel forward (to the right). The front wheels on the truck should turn right. If they don't, flip the steering servo reversing switch on the top of the transmitter to change the direction.
Section 5: Electronic Speed Control The ESC included in your Baja Bullet truck does not require any programming or setup. This is done for you automatically when you turn on the transmitter and the truck. Listed below is some information you may find useful about the ESC: The ESC includes a brake and reverse function.
Section 7: Making Chassis Adjustments Chassis alignment and geometry are important if you want your truck to perform well. A good performing truck means a truck that is easier to drive, too. Follow our guidelines in this section to get the most out of your truck. It's very important when making changes to the settings of your truck that you make the settings the same for each side.
If you are running on rough surfaces, use a lighter weight oil. We recommend using only 100% Silicon Shock Oil. Do not use motor oil. The shock oil in the Baja Bullet's shocks is good for most off-road applications.
Section 8: Checking and Adjusting the Gear Mesh It's important to periodically check the mesh between the motor pinion gear and the spur gear. Sometimes the motor can work itself out of alignment during very rough running conditions. To adjust the gear mesh, first remove the plastic gear cover. Loosen the two screws that hold the motor in place and pivot the motor so there is a gap between the pinion gear and the spur gear.
C) Charge motor battery completely 7) Spur gear strips easily A) Slipper clutch too tight A) Loosen slipper clutch B) Pinion/spur gear mesh out of alignment B) Reset the gear mesh For more cool and exciting XTM Racing products, visit our website at http://xtm.globalhobby.com...
