NOTE: Before you start running your Ten-T, you MUST read the
GETTING STARTED
GETTING STARTED
operating and engine tuning instructions. Failure to do
so will cause you to not get maximum performance from
your engine, and possibly void the warranty.
1) Install the 4 AA-sized alkaline batteries in the
transmitter making sure the positive (+) and
(-) negative ends are oriented correctly.
2) Remove the wires from the clips on the top
of the battery box cover. Depress the lever on
the front half of the plug and unplug the two
halves.
3) Remove the two wire clips holding the top on
the battery box and remove the battery pack.
Plug the included AC charger into an outlet.
Plug the battery pack into the charger noting
that it can only be plugged in one way. The

4) Plug the battery into the R.O.S.S. unit in the
battery box. Arrange the wires as shown in
the photos and replace the battery in the
battery box and secure the top with the two
wire clips. Plug in the large white plug halves
and place the wires into the clips on the top
of the cover.
6) Fill the fuel bottle by squeezing the sides
together and sticking the ll tube into the
™
can of Nitrotane
20% Sport fuel. As you

Steering
Throttle
voltage at the upper right corner of the
screen. Turn on the model and check for
proper voltage at the lower end of the screen.
9) With the front tires o the ground, turn
the steering wheel left to right. The wheels
should turn smoothly and with ease. Also
operate the throttle and brake, checking
for quick smooth operation. Do not try to
operate your truck if any of the servos or any
part of the radio is not operating correctly.
If the servos operate slowly the batteries
are low and must be recharged. Never try to
operate the model if either the transmitter or
receiver batteries are low.
10) Place the model on the ground. Use your
thumb to depress the starter button on the
back of the transmitter. This will energize the
R.O.S.S. starting system. You should be able
to see fuel travel from the fuel tank to the
carburetor in a few seconds followed by the
engine starting to re.

11) As the engine starts to re keep the starter
button depressed and pull back the throttle
¼ inch. If the engine starts running, the
model will pick up speed and start to move.
Give the model at least half throttle and allow
it to pick up some speed before releasing
the starter button. Note: If you are running
at over 1500-feet elevation you may have to
lean both the high- and low-speed needles
as outlined in “Tuning a Nitro Engine” in the
manual to compensate for the altitude.
12) If the engine does not continue to run,
release the trigger closing the throttle. The
engine should start ring again and allow
you, follow the directions above.
13) If you should have any problems in the
initial startup, please reread the “Tuning a
Nitro Engine”, “About the R.O.S.S. Starting
System”, and the “Troubleshooting your Ten-T”
sections of the manual.
14) When nished running, you can kill the
engine by using the end of a screwdriver,
the end of the shock tool included in the kit
or a rag over the end of the exhaust pipe –
NEVER try using your nger as this is very hot!
You can also use the handle of a screwdriver
against the ywheel through the opening in
the bottom of the chassis.
15) Make sure you always turn o the radio in the
model and the transmitter immediately after
killing the engine.
