 1. Inspect the inside of the Tires [front (144), rear (145)] for any excess material. If present, trim excess rubber to ensure proper seating of
the Tire bead onto the Wheel (147). During Tire assembly, make sure that all lettering on the sidewall of the front Tires faces to the outside of
the Wheel.
*NOTE: Do not set Tires on furniture as they may leave permanent stains.
It is recommended that you dampen a corner of a cloth with some rubbing alcohol and use it to clean off any residue from the
bead of the Tire to ensure a clean gluing surface. Be sure to let the alcohol on the Tire dry before inserting the Foam Insert into the Tire.
 2. Insert a Foam Liner (146) into the four Tires. Pull the Tires over the Wheels and squeeze the Tires to properly seat the bead into the
grooves of the Wheels. Make certain that the Foam Liners are not pinched between the Tires and the Wheels.
Team Losi Tire Glue (A7880 "Thick", A7881 "Thin") is the best Glue available for gluing R/C car Tires. This Glue was
produced specifically for this purpose. The Team Losi (A7884) off-road Tire Gluing kit is also available to get the job done right. It includes
a bottle of glue, an applicator tube, and a ten rubber bands. The rubber bands will be used to properly seat and hold the Tire bead onto the
Wheel while gluing.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Read and follow adhesive manufacturers' safety warnings regarding use.
 4. The Tires now need to be glued to the Wheels. This can be done by using a fast-curing super glue or cyanoacrylate glue, available at
your local hobby shop. Install a Tire gluing rubber band around the outside of the Tire, in line with the bead, to hold it onto the Wheel. Now
slightly pull back the Tire bead from the Wheel and apply a thin bead of glue between the Tire bead and the Wheel, all the way around. Wait
for this side to dry and do the same to the other side until the Tire is firmly adhered to the Wheel. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before
continuing.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Allow the Glue to dry before continuing.
 5. Install a Wheel Bushing (105) into each of the rear Wheels, align the holes in the bushing with the corresponding holes in the Wheel.
Secure the Wheel Bushing by threading in two 2-56 x 1/4" Button-Head Screws (116) into each of the screw holes and tighten.
 6. Install a 3/16" x 3/8" Bearing (114) into the backside of the front Wheel (Teflon seal facing out). Insert a Bearing Spacer (115) into the
Wheel from the front side. Capture the Spacer with a second Bearing (Teflon seal facing out as well).
 7. Install the front Wheels by sliding the front Wheel with Bearings over the front Axle (39) as shown in Figure G-1. Place a 3/16" x
0.015" Shim (149) over the Axle against the outside Bearing. Secure the Wheel by threading a 10-32 Locknut (150) onto the Axle and
Tightening.
 8. Mount the rear Wheels to the rear Axles (109) by lining up the Wheel Hex (112) with the hex in the rear Wheel and pushing the Wheel
all the way onto the Axle, making sure the rear Wheels are pushed completely on and the Quick Change Lever is latched over the Wheel
Bushing.
 9. The rear Wheels can also be retained by using the Threaded Axle Adapters instead of the Quick Change system, by threading the 10-
32 Locknuts on to the rear Axle Adapters and tightening.
