This section lists the recommended tools and supplies that you need to purchase and have onhand to finish assembling and to run and
maintain your new
X
ST 4WD Truggy RTR.
DO I nEED TO PUrCHASE EXTrA glOW PlUgS?
Yes. Even though your XTM Racing 24.7 engine comes with a glow plug already installed, glow plugs
wear out, especially during the break-in period; therefore, it's a good idea to have a couple of spares
handy. We recommend using a 'medium' or 'hot' heat-range glow plug intended specifically for
performance engines like the XTM Racing # 4 or the XTM Racing # 3 during the break-in process.
After the break-in process you may want to use a different heat-range glow plug. Do not use glow plugs
intended for four stroke airplane engines or glow plugs with an 'idle bar'. Using the wrong type of glow
plug will cause the engine to run erratically and make it difficult to tune properly. The wrong type of glow plug could also damage the
engine.

Normal Use

(use this fuel for break-in and normal use)
30% nitro Car Fuel
(use this fuel after break-in for more power)
WHAT FUEl DO I USE?
Fuel can make a big difference in the way your engine performs. For the break-in period you should use a fuel specifically designed
for R/C car engines that contains no more than 20% nitromethane and 10% ~ 14% oil content. Once the engine has been adequately
broken in (about 45 minutes of run-time) you can switch to an R/C car fuel containing up to, but no more than, 30% nitromethane
and 10% ~ 14% oil content.
WARNING:
We do not recommend using fuels designed for R/C airplane engine use. These fuels do not contain the proper amount
of lubricants; therefore, they will cause the engine to overheat and severe damage to the engine will result.
DO I nEED TO USE A FUEl BOTTlE?
Yes. Because fuel is packaged in quarts, gallons or litres, you will need to use a smaller
bottle with an extension tube to fill the fuel tank. Fueling using this method is much
easier, faster and a lot less messy.

glow plugs.

WHAT DO I USE TO IgnITE THE glOW PlUg?
glow Starter
Use This to Ignite the
Engine’s Glow Plug
A glow starter is a battery-operated device that, when attached to the glow plug, heats
the glow plug so that the engine can start. The glow starter is then removed once the
engine is running.
