Introduction Thank you for choosing the Team Losi Sport Aftershock Monster Truck. This is a highly developed off-road vehicle that features a sophisticated computer based radio system and does require some mechanical experience and direct adult supervision. This guide contains the basic instructions and drawings for operating and maintaining your new Aftershock. Please take the time to read through it completely before running the model.
Required Equipment You will need the following items to operate your new Aftershock. 12 AA Alkaline batteries for the (8 for the transmitter- 4 for the receiver pack) Team Losi Nitrotane 20% Fuel. This is the only fuel that supports the engine warranty. Fuel bottle. 1.5v glow plug ignitor (perferably with a meter). AA x12 Tools You Will Find Handy In addition to the tools included with the Aftershock, you will find the following both useful and in some cases necessary.
1H our Base Start-up Settings from the factory High-Speed Needle -- 3 turns out from bottom Low-Speed Needle -- 3 turns out from bottom 2H r ou Engine Tuning After the engine is broken in you can tune it for optimum performance. When tuning it is critical that you be cautious of overheating as severe damage and premature wear can occur. You want to make all carburetor adjustments in "one hour" increments.
Hi-Speed Adjustment After initial acceleration the engine should pull at a steady rate while maintaining a two-stroke whine and a noticeable trail of smoke. If the engine labors and is sluggish with heavy smoke, the mixture is too rich and needs to be leaned by turning the hi-speed needle clockwise in one hour increments until it runs smoothly. If the engine isn't smoking or starts to die after starting to accelerated, it is too lean and you must richen the mixture by turning the needle counterclockwise.
Radio Operation It is important that you familiarize yourself with the radio system, as this is your direct link to the truck. Never run your truck with low receiver or transmitter batteries. Never leave the power on or the batteries will not last long. Always fully extend the transmitter antenna before running your truck Always turn the transmitter ON before turning the truck ON. When finished running, always turn the truck OFF before the transmitter.
2-Speed Adjustment Although pre-adjusted at the factory, the two-speed can be adjusted to shift at the point that suits you best. Under normal circumstances, it should shift slightly before the engine reaches maximum power. The actual distance traveled will vary with the gear ratio and tune of the engine. There are two adjustment screws (see fig 1) that must be changed evenly for the two-speed to function correctly. Turning these clockwise will make it shift later and require the engine to rev higher.
Replacing the 2-Speed Gears Be sure to replace the one way bearing in the same direction as removed. Replacing the Clutchbell Use a 3/32 wrench (provided) to remove the retaining screw (turn counter clockwise) while firmly holding the flywheel with a pair of pliers. Remove the screw, washers and clutch bell being careful not to loose any shims that may be used. Remove the ball bearings and brush any loose dirt away from the bearing faces.
Servicing the Differentials The differentails should be serviced periodically. Be sure to clean and inspect all of the gears and replace if severely worn. Always use plenty of high-quality grease (like Team Losi LOSA3066)on all gears. NOTE: These can also be made into racing type viscous diffs as noted below. Always service one diff at a time and pay close attention to install the housing with the "TOP" marking up so it can be seen looking down on the truck. Fig 1. Fig 2. Fig 3.
Servicing the Transmission The Transmission should also be cleaned and serviced periodically. All gears and shafts should be closely inspected for wear and replaced if necessary. Always use a high quality grease or lubricant to prevent premature wear and/or failure. Removing the transmission 1 Remove the gear cover. 2 Remove the throttle linkage from the carburetor and the brake linkage from the servo arm. 3 Loosen the four motor mount screws (bottom of the chassis) and slide the motor back.
Rebuilding/Refilling the Shocks Tools Needed Step 1. After removing the shock, push up on the lower spring cup and snap it off of the shaft. Remove the spring. Step 2. Turn the shock upside down and using the included shock tool, remove the black shock cartridge/shaft assembly from the shock body by turning it counter clockwise. NOTE: If you only wish to change or fill the shock fluid skip to step 6. B2900 A6234 B2876 B2815 Step3. Remove the 1/4" nut by turning it counter-clockwise.
