INTRO
Team Losi Racing is continually changing and improving designs; therefore, the actual part may appear slightly dierent than the illustrated part. Illustrations of parts
and assemblies may be slightly distorted to enhance pertinent details.
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY
Team Losi Racing has supplied all necessary Allen wrenches and special wrenches that are needed for assembly and adjustments. The following
common tools will also be required: needle-nose pliers, regular pliers, hobby knife, scissors or other body cutting/trimming tools, and a soldering iron
may be necessary for radio installation. 3/16", 1/4", 5/16" and 11/32" nut drivers are optional.
RADIO/ELECTRONICS
A suggested radio layout is provided in this manual. Your high-performance RC center should be consulted regarding specic questions pertaining to
radio/electrical equipment.
HARDWARE IDENTIFICATION
When in question, use the Hardware Identication Guide at the back of this manual.
For screws, the prex number designates the thread size and number of threads per inch (e.g., 4-40 is a #4 size thread with 40 threads per inch). •
The second number, or fraction, designates the length of the screw. For cap head and button head screws, this number refers to the length of the
threaded portion of the screw. For at head and setscrews, this number refers to the overall length of the screw.
Bearings and bushings are referenced by the inside diameter (I.D.) x outside diameter (O.D.). •
Shafts and pins are designated by type (Roll, Solid) and referenced by diameter x length.•
Washers, Spacers and Shims are described by inside diameter or the screw size that will pass through the inside diameter x the thickness or by their •
designated application (e.g., Ball Stud washer is primarily used under a Ball Stud).
Retaining Clips are sized by the shaft diameter that they attach to or by type (Body). The Hardware Icon associated with E/C-clips only designates •
the part genre of clips, not the actual part.
Nuts come in four types, Non-Flanged, Flanged (F), Plain and Locking (L) (designated on the Hardware Icons). The prex number designates the •
thread size and number of threads per inch. The second number, or fraction, designates the size of the hex. For example, L 4-40 x 1/4" designates a
locknut that will thread onto a 4-40 screw using a 1/4" nut driver.
Setscrews come in three types, Cup (C), Flat (F) and Oval (O) (designated on the hardware Icons). The prex number designates the thread size and •
number of thread per inch. The second number, or fraction, designates the length of the threaded portion of the screw.
