TOOLS REQUIRED
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. A soldering 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.
HARDWARE IDENTIFICATION
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 x outside diameter. Shafts and pins are referred to by
diameter x length. 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.
MOTORS AND 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
determine the final drive ratio. To calculate the final drive ratio, first divide the spur gear size by the pinion gear size. For example, if you are using
a 20-tooth pinion gear, you would divide 88 (spur gear size) by 20 (pinion gear size). 88/20 = 4.40. This tells you that 4.40 is 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. This means 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.
