Install the 4 AA-size alkaline batteries (included) in
the transmitter making sure the positive (+) and (-)
negative ends are oriented correctly.
GETTING STARTED
Before you start running your LOSI®8IGHT-T 2.0™RTR read your
engine break-in and operating instructions. If you run your
8IGHT-T 2.0 RTR without following proper break-in procedure,
you may damage or fail to get maximum performance from your
engine, and void the warranty.
NOTE:
Receiver Battery
Unscrew the two 4-40 screws and remove the two
body clips from the battery box on your 8IGHT-T
2.0 RTR. Here you will find your receiver battery
pack. By using the charger of your choice, follow the
manufacturers instructions and charge the receiver
battery pack (fig. 2A). After the pack has been charged
plug the battery into the switch harness (fig. 2B).

Starter Box Battery Installation
You will need to purchase two 7.2V 6-cell battery
packs for the Starter Box. Losi recommends using (2)
LOSB9900 7.2V 3600mAh 6-cell NiMH Performance
Spec Battery Packs. By using the charger of your choice
follow the manufacturers’ directions to charge both
batteries. Once both batteries are charged, they will
need to be inserted and secured inside of the starter
box. First, the top of the starter box will need to be
removed (Fig 3A). Now remove the 4 screws from the
center plastic plate which are located on the side of the
starter box.The center plate will now slide towards the
center of the starter box allowing room for the battery
packs. Insert the batteries into the upper mounting
locations on the starter box (Fig 3B). Once the batteries
are installed into the starter box, feed the battery leads
through the center plate and move the center plate
over the two battery packs (Fig 3C). Once the batteries
are secured by the center plate, insert the (4) screws
back into the center plate from the side of the starter
box to lock the batteries into position (Fig 3D). Plug
each battery pack into the Y-harness (Fig 3C).

Operations Check
Turn on the transmitter and check for proper voltage.
On the vehicle, slide the switch on the side of the radio
box to the“ON” position (fig 4B).With the front tires off
the ground, turn the steering wheel on the transmitter
from left to right (fig.4A).The wheels should turn
smoothly and with ease (fig. 4c). Also operate the
throttle and brake (fig. 4d), checking for quick, smooth
operation. Do not try to operate your vehicle if any
of the servos or any part of the radio is not operating
correctly. If the servos operate slowly, the receiver
battery is low and must be recharged. Never try to
operate your model if either the transmitter or receiver
batteries are low.
Fueling
After filling the fuel bottle with fuel, lift the lid of the
fuel tank and fill the tank (fig. 5). Make sure you put the
cap back on both the fuel bottle and the jug of fuel.
With the vehicle on the starter box, press down on the
starter box and hold your finger over the exhaust tip.
This will force fuel into the fuel line and then into the
engine.

Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine, use the handle of a screwdriver
or a rag to cover the exhaust pipe exit (fig. ), being
EXTREMELY careful not to burn your hand as this will
be hot.
Start Your Engine
With the vehicle sitting on the starter box, attach
the glow plug igniter (fig. 6A) to the glow plug.Push
down on the glow igniter to start the contact of the
starter box to the flywheel of the engine (Fig 6B.) If the
engine does not turn over, it is probably flooded or the
batteries in the starter box need to be recharged. If you
suspect flooding, use a glow plug wrench to loosen
the glow plug at least two turns and press the vehicle
down to engage the starter box and contact with the
fly wheel again. Raw fuel should come out around
the plug.Tighten the plug and resume the starting
procedure.
Follow the engine break-in procedure before
attempting vehicle operation. Use caution when
adding fuel while the engine is running.Do not
over-fill or spill fuel outside the tank.
