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.

TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLYTeamLosihassuppliedallnecessaryAllenwrenchesandaspecialwrenchthatisneededforassemblyandadjustments.Thefollowingcom-montoolswillalsoberequired:Needle-nosepliers,regularpliers,hobbyknife,scissorsorotherbodycutting/trimmingtools,andasolderingiron may be necessary for radio installation. 3/16”, 1/4”, 5/16”, and 11/32” nut drivers are optional.

RADIO/ELECTRONICSA suggested radio layout is provided in this manual. Your high performance R/C center should be consulted regarding specific questions pertainingtoradio/electricalequipment.

HARDWARE IDENTIFICATIONWhen in question, use the Hardware Identification Guide at the back of this manual.

For screws, the prefix number designates the thread size and number of threads per inch (i.e., 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 flat head and set screws, 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 (i.e., 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 designatesthepartgenreofclips,nottheactualpart.Nuts come in four types, Non-Flanged, Flanged (F), Plain, and Locking (L) (designated on the Hardware Icons). The prefix number desig-nates 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 Lock nut that will thread onto a 4-40 screw using a 1/4” nut driver.Ball studs are described by the length of the neck between the base and the bottom of the ball (i.e., standard, short) and the length of the threadedportion.
