Thank you for selecting the JRX-S Type R as your new racing sedan. As you probably know, during the development of the Type R, it
posted outstanding race results and distinguished itself as a remarkable racing chassis that is both easy to drive and tune for a wide variety of
track conditions. Every effort has been made to produce a kit that offers you the most competitive chassis that is also easy to build and main-
tain. The simple bag-by-bag assembly sequence and easily followed instructions and drawings combined with Team Losi’s world famous
quality fitting parts will make building the JRX-S Type R a most enjoyable project.
Before you open the first bag, or start assembly, please take a moment to read through the following instructions. This will familiarize
you with the various parts, assembly tips, and descriptions as well as the tools needed. Taking an extra moment before starting can save a
good deal of time and assure proper assembly.
Good luck and good racing,
Team Losi Research and Development Team

Kit/Manual Organization:
The kit is composed of different bags markedA through F. Each
bag contains all of the parts necessary to complete a particular sec-
tion of the kit. Some of these bags have sub-assembly bags within
them. It is essential that you open only one bag at a time and follow
the correct assembly sequence, otherwise you may face difficulties in
finding the correct part. It is helpful to read through the instructions
for an entire bag prior to beginning assembly. 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 will be able to pick up where you left off.
For your convenience, an actual-size Hardware Identification
Guide is included as a fold-out page at the back of this manual. Hard-
ware that is not easily differentiable in each step is called out with an
icon which contains a small picture of the part genre (referenced on
the Hardware Identification Guide), the quantity of that part required
for what is shown in the step,
and the size or name of that
part and the LOSA-Number.
To check a part, hold it against
the silhouette until the correct
part is identified. Associated
with each of these parts, in the Hardware Identification Guide, is a
LOSA-Number which is used when ordering replacement parts for
your JRX-S Type R. In some cases, extra hardware has been supplied
for parts that may be easy to lose.
Components used in each step are identified by their relative
LOSA-Number and the component’s name. With the exception of
a few parts, these are not referenced in the Hardware Identification
Guide.
The molded parts in Team Losi kits are manufactured to de-
manding tolerances. When screws are tightened to the point of being
snug, the parts are held firmly in place. For this reason, it is very
important that screws not be overtightened in any of the plastic
parts.
In some steps there will be a filled black circle with a white
number. These indicate the specific order by which assembly must
occur. In cases where steps are repeated (front/rear or left/right) these
numbers may be omitted. Please note that these numbers will not call
out every sub-step required for the step’s assembly procedures, they
will only highlight the critical order required for assembly.
In each step, there are specific “Detail Icons” (shaped like a stop
sign) that call out critical precautions or assembly tips for the pro-
cess. There is a reference key that describes the meaning of each of
the icons located on the fold-out Hardware Identification Guide at
the back of this manual.
To ensure that parts are not lost during construction, it is rec-
ommended that you 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 kit are small and can be swallowed
by children, causing choking and possible internal injury;
PLEASE USE CAUTION!
2. The shock fluid and greases supplied should be kept out of chil-
dren’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.
Note: Final kit weight will vary depending on accessories used.
