Well, firstly, the GST isnt a beginners truck, so be ready to have some questions

ok, the glow starter. I am assuming that you are talking about the things in the pictures below V

the steel shaft has a wide lip and a spring on it, pull the lip towards the yellow part and then press the end of the charger into the end of the shaft (as pictured) V

This is your glow starter, it is needed to warm up the glow plug to start the truck. It needs to charge for about 8 hours before you use it.

Did your truck come with a CEN Nitro handbook? If so, please read it thoroughly. Also check out http://www.cenracing.com/faq.html#cc

Read that page as well.


Radio crystals are these http://www.rc-airplane-world.com/ima...s/crystals.jpg

By "matching them" that just means that they both need to be the same frequency (same numbers on the tags) Which they SHOULD be, but it doesnt hurt to double check. Also make sure they are pressed in tight on the reciever and transmitter.

Just to clarify: look at the third pic below. V from left to right, There is the transmitter (pistol shape), reciever ( with the antenna), and reciever battery pack (usually referred to as reciever pack)

To make the radio system work, all you should have to do is install 4 AA batteries in the 4 cell battery holder, then, on the bottom of the truck there is a battery compartment. I am not sure if the wires will be routed correctly on the truck or not, but there should be a female wire end sticking into that compartment for you to plug the battery pack into.

Once you plug the batteries in, turn on the transmitter (batteries installed) and turn on the switch on the bottom of the truck, you should be able to move the throttle servo and steering servo be squeezing the trigger, or turning the wheel on the transmitter. (note: the wheels may not turn well with the truck on the ground due to its weight)
