TRIM

7. To make your Nitro Evader drive in a straight line, you

may need to adjust the steering trim knob located on the transmitter. Rotate the adjustable steering rate knob to increase or decrease the steering travel. When first learning to drive, adjust for less steering travel. As you get to be a better driver, adjust for more steering travel.

8. Prime the Engine (when cold) - Wrap you finger with a

shop towel and place it over the tuned pipe's exhaust exit. Pull the recoil gently until you can see fuel reach the carburetor (looking through the fuel tubing). Note: The engine should not require priming when hot unless you have ran out of fuel).

9. Attach the glow starter to the glow plug.

10. Start the engine by pulling the recoil.Use short, quick

pulls.DO NO T pull the recoil starter’s string to the end.You only need 10-12 inches of pull to start the engine.

11. To stop the engine, pinch the fuel line that runs from

the fuel tank to the carburetor. The engine should quit within a few seconds.

12.Maintain your Nitro Evader after each run to help prev ent

damage to your kit. Refer to the assembly and operation manual, pages 11,12, and 19, for detailed maintenance tips.

BREAK-IN GUIDELINES:

Important: If this is the first time running the DTX 18

engine, please follow these guidelines for proper break-in. For a more detailed explanation, please refer to pages 9 and 10 of the assembly and operation manual.

1.Adjust the high-speed needle 2 turns out from fully closed.

2. Run with the body off and on a smooth surface.

3. Tanks 1-2: Run the buggy at varying speeds. The

engine will sound “rich”and “blubbery” and may stall often. This is is normal.

4. Tanks 3-5: For each additional tank, turn in the high

speed needle valve 1/8th turn. With each tank, the engine will run faster, idle more reliably, and accelerate quicker. Important! Check the temperature of the engine during each run (described on page 10 of the manual). If the temp is too high, turn the high-speed needle out (counter-clockwise).

After tank 5 your engine should be running close to peak performance.At this point, install the body and go to the track! Note: The DTX engine is designed to racing tolerances and will continue to perform better and run cooler as you race your buggy! We ha ve f ound that under normal circumstances, the final high-speed needle setting (after about 10 tanks) will be approximately 1-1/4 to 1-3/8 turns out.
