RADIO/ELECTRICAL
A suggested radio layout is provided in this manual. Your high performance R/C center should be consulted regarding specifics on radio/
electrical equipment. However, we recommend using a steering servo with a minimum of 50 oz-in of torque.
HARDWARE IDENTIFICATION
When in question, use the hardware identification guide in each step. For screws, the prefix number designates the screw size and number of
threads per inch (i.e., 4-40 is #4 screw with 40 threads per inch of length). The fraction following designates the length of the threads for Cap
Head and Button Head Screws, and the overall length for flathead screws. Bearings and bushings are referenced by the inside diameter x
outside diameter. Shafts and pins are diameter x length. Washers are described by inside diameter or the screw size that will pass through the
inside diameter. E-clips are sized by the shaft diameter that they are attached to.
FUEL
The fuel used to power the this truck is a special blend of methanol, oils, and nitromethane. This fuel is highly flammable and should be treated
with extreme caution. Be sure to read any warnings and cautions that appear on the packaging of the fuel. Because exhaust fumes are produced
from running fuel powered models, this truck should not be operated indoors. Be careful when handling your truck while the Engine is running.
Avoid pointing the exhaust outlet towards your face. The exhaust fumes can cause irritation and burning of the eyes.
There are a number of different brands of model fuels available. We have found that fuels specially blended for R/C car use like Blue
Thunder, White Lightning, and Trinity perform Best. Team Losi does not recommend using common model airplane or helicopter fuels. Model
airplane fuels usually do not have the proper type or amount of oil needed for the extreme demands of R/C car racing.
FUEL BOTTLE
You will need some sort of a fuel bottle in order to fill the tank with fuel. Your local hobby shop should have fuel bottles and any other
accessories you may need.
STARTERS
This kit is designed for non-pull start engines. You will need to have some sort of an electric starter in order to start the engine. Team Losi has
developed a starter box especialy for the XXX-NT AD2 platform, LOSA99060. When attempting to start the engine in your XXX-NT AD2 truck
with an electric starter, make certain that the engine is being turned the correct direction (counter-clockwise when looking at the front of the
engine). Turning the engine over the wrong direction will cause the engine to not start or possibly run backwards.
GLOW IGNITER
You will also need a glow plug igniter in order to start the engine in your XXX-NT AD2 truck. There is a wide variety of glow plug igniters
available. Check with your local hobby shop.
Team Losi is continually changing and improving designs; therefore, the actual part may appear slightly different than the illustrated part. Illustrations of parts and
assemblies may be slightly distorted to enhance pertinent details.
