Optional Spin Start System

4 screws

Start your Engine

Attach the glow plug ignitor (not included)(Fig. 10A) to the glow plug and if metered make sure the needle is in the green or good

condition. Put the standard hex of the starter shaft into the Spin-Start. Slide your hand under the strap of the starter so that your

index finger is on the switch at the bottom. Place the machined end of the starter shaft into the matching hex socket in the back-

plate of the engine (Fig. 10B). Holding the starter securely, press on the switch button and the engine should turn over and start

up. If the engine does not turn over, it is probably flooded or the battery in the starter needs to be recharged. Use a glow plug

wrench to loosen the glow plug at least two turns and try again. Raw fuel should come out around the plug. Tighten the plug

and resume starting procedure.

Follow the engine break-in procedure before attempting any racing or high performance operation. Use caution when adding

fuel while the engine is running. Do not over fill or spill fuel outside the tank.

Although the M26SS motor in your Aftershock is fitted with an easy to use heavy-duty pull

start you may consider upgrading to an electric starting system. We have included a Spin-

Start backplate for the engine, which will allow you to use a common electric drill

or the handheld Team Losi Spin-Start (LOSB5100, sold separately). To change the backplate

follow these steps:

1. Remove engine from the chassis.

2. Remove exhaust header/pipe

3. Remove the four screws (fig. 8A)

and carefully remove the pull-start

4. Install the Spin-Start backplate and

reinstall the engine.

NOTE: If using an electric drill, you will need the LOSB5104 Hex Starter Shaft

Failure to install spring

will cause damage to the

starter components.

Spin-Start Battery Install

Slide the battery access panel opposite the hand strap back

and remove the cover. Remove hex starter shaft from the back side

of the cover (fig. 9B) and press the o-ringed end into the drive cup.

Slide a 7.2 volt 6cell "stick pack" into the Spin-Start and plug it in.

Note that the plug is made such that it can only be plugged in

one way. Carefully tuck the plug wires under the battery access

panel and slide shut.
