Remove the foam air filter element from the plastic bag and push it onto the air
filter base. Secure the top of the air filter into place, using the screw provided.
IMPORTANT
The foam air filter element comes oiled with air cleaner oil from the
factory. See the information below on how to clean and reoil the foam air filter
element when it gets dirty.
upgraDe tip
To prevent your XT2 from going out of control should the radio control system encounter signal
loss, we suggest using an electronic failsafe. The electronic failsafe is connected between the
throttle/brake servo and the receiver. The failsafe is designed to electronically bring the throttle to idle
and apply a preset amount of braking force should the radio control system lose its signal. This
will prevent the XT2 from driving out of control and causing damage.
●
To clean the air filter, remove the air filter
element and wash it thoroughly in warm water
and a small amount of liquid detergent. After
it's clean, allow it to dry, then reoil it and install
it back onto the air filter housing. To wet the
air filter element, simply squeeze an ample
amount of air filter oil or after-run oil onto the
filter element and work it through the filter
element, using your fingers. Use enough oil to
completely saturate the filter element. The entire filter element should be oiled, but not so much that excess oil is dripping from it.
Under no circumstances should you operate the engine without the air filter installed on the carburettor. The air filter
prevents dust and debris from entering the engine and damaging it. if you operate your engine at any time without the air
filter installed, the engine will be quickly damaged and require replacement of the piston and sleeve (liner).
If you will be running your X-Terminator 2 RTR Nitro
Buggy in dusty or wet conditions, we suggest using a
prefilter sleeve over the air filter. Wet the main filter
element, then simply slide the prefilter sleeve over the
main filter. It's not necessary, nor desirable, to wet
the prefilter sleeve. We suggest using xTM Racing
1/8th Scale Prefilter Sleeves.

PRO TIP
Place the cleaned air filter element in a plastic bag and then apply the air filter oil on it. Close the bag and work the oil
into the air filter element. This allows you to work the oil into the element without getting excess oil on your hands.
