Install Buggy Batteries
To install AA batteries:
1. Make sure the power switch on the chassis is OFF.
2. Remove the screw on the AA battery box cover. Then
carefully unlatch and remove the cover.
3. Insert 6 AA batteries (not included) in the box, matching the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
4. Replace the battery box cover and secure the latch.
To install a 9.6V Ni-MH battery
1. Be sure that the front and rear units are detached from the main control unit.
2. Remove the 6 screws on the top side of main control unit. Then carefully
unlatch the AA battery box.
3. Place the 9.6V battery box onto the main control unit and attach it using the

Buggy Chassis” on page 6).

Install the Transmitter Battery
Your transmitter needs a 9V battery (not included). We recommend 9V alkaline batteries
for better performance. If the LED is off or the range of your buggy decreases, replace
the battery.
1. Make sure the power switch is OFF, then remove the screw
on the battery compartment.
2. Insert a 9V battery in the compartment, matching the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Snap the cover back in place and replace the screw.
Battery Notes:
• For better performance, use the 9.6V Ni-MH battery pack. Use only a 9.6V Ni-MH battery specified
for remote control (R/C) vehicles and that precisely fits the 9.6V battery box included with this
product.
• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury batteries.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the vehicle for several days, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Assembling Your XMODS Custom RC
Assembling the Buggy Chassis
1. Connect the terminal of the Front Unit to the terminal of the Main Control Unit, and
secure them with two screws.
2. Connect the terminal of the Rear Unit to the terminal of the Main Control Unit, and
secure them with two screws.
Note: When updating your buggy with new rubber tires, to run smoothly make sure you
fit the tires aligned with the XMODS logo facing on the outside.

Pairing Your Transmitter and the Buggy
Your XMODS operates at a frequency of 2.4Ghz.
Before driving for the first time, you must pair the
transmitter and buggy. The pairing should be made
before mounting the body.
1. Turn on the transmitter. The LED indicator on
the transmitter flashes slowly.
2. Turn on the buggy.
3. Press and hold the pairing button for 3
seconds; the buggy LED flashes quickly.
When the LED stops flashing, pairing is
complete.
Note:
• Your buggy and transmitter remain paired for
future use, even when batteries are removed
from the transmitter or the buggy.
• If the pairing failed, turn off the transmitter
and the buggy, move closer, and then try
again.

Driving Your Buggy and Adjusting Trim
After you turn on both transmitter and buggy, squeeze the trigger to move forward and
push the trigger away from the handle to go in reverse.
If your buggy does not drive straight when you release the steering wheel, determine if
the buggy steers too far right or left, and then adjust the trim:
1. Turn off the controller, and then pull the controller
trigger to drive position.
2. Turn on the controller; the LED indicator on the
controller flashes.
3. Keep the trigger pulled and turn the wheel to the
right or left to adjust the trim. If the car pulls to the
right, turn the wheel to the left. If the car pulls to the
left, turn the wheel to the right.
4. Release the trigger; the LED indicator stops flashing
and lights steadily.
• To avoid unintentionally adjusting the steering trim, do not operate the trigger or
steering wheel when you turn on the transmitter.
• To drive in reverse after braking, you may need to release the trigger to neutral briefly.

Note:
• Handle your XMODS buggy and transmitter carefully and do not drop them. Keep away from dust
and dirt. Wipe your buggy and transmitter with a damp cloth occasionally to keep them looking new.
• Use and store only in normal temperature environments.
• Running your XMODS continuously for long periods can generate high heat levels. If the buggy
overheats, its overheat protection will stop the buggy. In this case, switch the transmitter and the
vehicle off and allow to cool down before resuming operation.
• If you do not operate either the transmitter or the buggy for 10 minutes, the buggy enters sleep
mode. To resume play, switch off both transmitter and buggy, then turn them on.
