Team Losi Racing
Welcome Team Losi Racing 8IGHT 2.0EU Owner!
Vehicle/Manual Organization:
The vehicle is composed of dierent steps marked A through H. Each bag
contains all of the parts necessary to complete a particular section of the
vehicle. Some of these bags have sub-assembly steps within them. You
should read through the instructions for an entire bag prior to working
on your vehicle. Next to each of the step numbers is a check box. At the
completion of each step, place a check in this box so that if you must
stop and come back to the assembly, you can begin where you left o.
For your convenience, an actual-size Hardware Identication Guide is
included as a fold-out page at the back of this manual. Hardware that is
not easily dierentiable in each step is called out with an icon which
contains a small picture of the part genre (referenced on the Hardware
Identication Guide), the quantity of that part required for what is shown
in the step, and the size or name of that part. To check a part, hold it
against the silhouette until the correct part is identied. Associated
with each of these parts, in the
Hardware Identication Guide, is
an LOSA Number which is used
when ordering replacement
parts for your 8IGHT 2.0EU. In
some cases, extra hardware has
been supplied for parts that may
be easy to lose.
You can identify components used in each step by their LOSA Number
and component name. With the exception of a few parts, these are not
referenced in the Hardware Identication Guide.
The molded parts in Team Losi Racing vehicles are manufactured to
demanding tolerances. When screws are tightened to the point of
being snug, the parts are held rmly in place. For this reason, it is very
important that screws not be over-tightened in any of the plastic parts.
In some steps there will be a lled black circle with a white number.
These indicate the specic order by which assembly must occur. In cases
where steps are repeated (front/rear or left/right) these numbers may
be omitted. Please note these numbers do not call out every sub-step
required for the step’s assembly procedures, they only highlight the
critical order required for assembly.
In each step,“Detail Icons”( ) call out critical precautions or assembly
tips for the process. There is a reference key that describes the meaning
of each of the icons located on the fold-out Hardware Identication
Guide at the back of this manual. To ensure that parts are not lost during
construction, you should work over a towel or mat to prevent parts from
rolling away.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:
1. Select an area for assembly that is away from the reach of small
children. Some parts in this vehicle are small and can be swallowed
by children, causing choking and possible internal injury; PLEASE USE
CAUTION!
2. The shock uid and greases supplied should be kept out of
children’s reach. They are not intended for human consumption!
3. Exercise care when using any hand tools, sharp instruments, or
power tools during construction.
4. Carefully read all manufacturer’s warnings and cautions for any
chemicals, glues, or paints that may be used for assembly and
operating purposes.
Age Recommendation: 14 years or over. This is not a toy. This product
is not intended for use by children without direct adult supervision.
Note: Final vehicle weight will vary depending on accessories used.
