NITRO
What do you need for Nitro Vehicles? Your vehicle has
everything you need except for the following.
Nitro Fuel - Purchase 20% nitro fuel. This can be found at most hobby shops in
your area.
AA Batteries - You will need 12 AA batteries. 8 will be for
the remote control and 4 for the vehicle.
Glow Plug Igniter - If you did not purchase a starter kit,
you will need a glow plug igniter to run your vehicle. Most hobby shops in your
area sell them or you should contact the dealer that sold you the vehicle.
Loctite - Use blue Loctite on all metal screws going into
metal.
Air Filter Oil - Use Air Filter oil on the air filter to
keep dust and debris from entering your engine. This can be purchased at most
hobby shops in your area.
ELECTRIC
What do you need for Electric Vehicles? Your vehicle has
everything you need except for the following.
AA Batteries - You will need 8 AA batteries for the remote
control.
Vehicle Battery Charging - You should charge the vehicle
battery that was included for at least 8 hours prior to use.
The information listed below is a more detailed setup of
Nitro Vehicles.
It is very important that you follow the guides below
exactly and do a full break in of your vehicles along with Loctite the screws,
oil your air filter and more. All of this information can be found in the first
guide below. If you do not do proper break-in of the vehicle, it can cause
damage to the engine.
