1. Remove the Nitro Quake, transmitter and parts
from the box.
❏
2. Remove the twist-tie from the receiver antenna
wire. The receiver antenna wire is a bundled thin wire
that is attached to the receiver. Run the length of the
antenna wire through your fingers to help straighten
the wire out, this will make it easier to get the wire
through the tube. Remove the antenna tube from the
decal bag. Slide the antenna wire through the antenna
tube.
Do not coil or cut the antenna.
Cut two pieces
of fuel tubing 1/8" wide and slide them over the outside
of the antenna tube and wire. This is to help hold the
antenna tube on and avoid getting the antenna wire
cut in a roll over. Note the placement of the tubing on
the antenna tube.
❏
3. Remove the air filter parts from the parts pack.
Slide the large rubber O-ring around the threads of the
outer housing. The O-ring will help seal the air filter
housing together. Soak the air cleaner element with an
air filter oil, light machine oil, or, in a pinch, shock oil.
Thoroughly soak the foam element and squeeze out
the excess. Then install the filter element into the
plastic outer housing.
❏
4. Press the “L” shaped boot onto the bottom housing
of the air filter. Using one of the included tie-straps,
tightly secure the boot onto the bottom housing. Cut off
the excess portion of the tie-strap. Screw the bottom
and outer filter housing together.
Note: Overtightening
will strip the threads.
❏
5. Place the air filter onto the carburetor. Using the
remaining included tie-strap, tightly secure the air filter
to the carburetor. Cut the excess portion of the tie-
strap off to avoid interference.
❏
6. Remove the lower screw from each of the body
posts so that the posts can be placed upright. Re-
install the screw through the shock tower into the body
post as shown. The height of the body can be adjusted
by raising or lowering the posts on the shock tower.
