NOTES& SYMBOLS USED
This is a common figure number found at the beginning of each
new illustration throughout the manual.
!Step 1. Each step throughout the entire manual has a check box
to the left of it.As you complete each step, mark the box with a check.
If you need to take a break and return to building at a later time you
will be able to locate the exact step where you left off.
This is a common note. It is used to call attention to specific
details of a certain step in the assembly.
IMPORTANTNOTE:Evenif you arefamiliar withTeam
Losi kits, be sure and pay attention to these notes. They point out
very important details during the assembly process. Do not ignore
these notes!
In illustrations where it is important to note which
directionparts are facing, a helmet like this one will be included in the
illustration. The helmet will always face the front of the car. Any
reference to the right of left side will relate to the direction of the
helmet.
It is helpful to read through the instructions for an entire bag
prior to beginning service or disassembly. Key numbers (in paren-
thesis) have been assigned to each part and remain the same
thoughout the manual. In some illustrations, parts which have al-
ready been installed are not shown so that the current steps can be
illustratedmoreclearly.
For your convenience, an actual-size hardware identification
guide is included with each step. To check a part, hold it against the
silhouette until the correct part is identified. In some cases extra
hardware has been supplied for parts that may be easy to lose.
The molded parts in the XXX-S Sport are manufactured so that
they interlock. 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.
To ensure that parts are not lost during construction, it is recom-
mended that you work over a towel or mat to prevent parts from
rollingaway.
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.
2. The shock fluid and greases supplied should be kept out of
childrens' reach. They are not intended for human consumption!
3. Exercise care when using any hand tools, sharp instruments,
or power tools during construction.
4. Carefullyreadallmanufacturers' warnings and cautionsfor
any glues, chemicals, or paints that may be used for assembly and
operatingpurposes.When you are usingglues,chemicals,andpaints
you should always wear eye protection and a mask.

TOOLSREQUIRED
Team Losi has supplied all necessary allen wrenches and a special assembly wrench that is needed for assembly and turnbuckle adjustments.
The following common tools will also be required: Needle-nose pliers, regular pliers, medium grit sandpapper, hobby knife, scissors, and body
cutting/trimming tools.Asoldering iron may be necessary for electrical installation. 3/16", 1/4", and 11/32" nut drivers are optional.
RADIO/ELECTRICAL
A suggested radio layout is provided in this manual. Your high-performance R/C center should be consulted regarding specific questions
pertaining to radio/electrical equipment. HARDWAREIDENTIFICATION
When in question, use the hardware identification guide in each step. For screws, the prefix number designates the screw size and number of
threads per inch (i.e. 4-40 is #4 screw 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 screws, this number refers to the
overall length of the screw. Bearings and bushings are referenced by the inside diameter xoutside diameter. Shafts and pins are referred to by
diameter xlength. Washers are described by inside diameter or the screw size that will pass through the inside diameter. E-clips are sized by the
shaft diameter that they attach to. MOTORSAND GEARING
The XXX-S Sport includes an 88-tooth, 48-pitch spur gear. The internal drive ratio of the XXX-S is 1.83. The pinion gear that is used will
determinethe final drive ratio.To calculate the final drive ratio, first divide the spur gear size bythepinion gear size. For example, ifyouareusing
a20-tooth pinion gear, youwould divide 88 (spur gearsize) by 20 (piniongear size). 88/20 = 4.40.Thistells you that 4.40is the external drive ratio.
Next,multiply the internal drive ratio (1.83) by the external drive ratio (in this case 4.40). 1.83 x 4.40 =8.052.Thismeans that by using a 20-tooth
pinion gear with the standard 88-tooth spur gear, the final drive ratio is 8.052:1.
Consult you high-performance shop for recommendations to suit your racing style and class. The chart below lists some of the common
motor types and recommended initial gearing for that motor. Ratios can be adjusted depending on the various track layouts, tire sizes, and
battery types.
WARNING:Theelectronic speed control included inthiskit is not designed forusewith hot modified motors. Doingsovoids any warranty.
