Servicing the Transmission
The Transmission should also be cleaned and serviced periodically. All gears and shafts should be closely inspected for wear
and replaced if necessary. Always use a high-quality grease or lubricant to prevent premature wear and/or failure.
Removing the Transmission
1. Remove the gear cover.
2. Remove the throttle linkage from the carburetor and the brake linkage from the
servo arm.
3. Loosen the four motor mount screws (bottom of the chassis) and slide the motor back.
4. Remove 2-speed spur gears.
5. Remove the five transmission mounting screws and lift the transmission out.
6. Remove the outdrive and ten 5/64” cap head screws. Remove the transmission case half.
7. Regrease the gears and shafts, inspecting each for wear.
8. Replace any worn or failed gears.
9. Wipe out the inside of the gear case, removing any debris, old grease and foreign matter.
10. Check all ball bearings for free movement cleaning or replacing as necessary.
11. Reinstall gears on the shafts lubing with LOSA3066 or LOSA99203 Losi Assembly Grease.
12. Reassemble the transmission lubricating liberally with LOSA3066 or LOSA99203 or a similar
high-grade grease.
13. Make sure the setscrews in the outdrive cups are tightened (a locking compound is highly suggested).
14. Install the transmission in the chassis; reset the gear mesh by using a small piece of paper between the pinion and
spur gears, applying pressure while retightening the engine. Reconnect all linkages and connections as necessary.

Rebuilding/Refilling the Shocks Rebuilding/Refilling the Shocks
Step 1.
After removing the shock,
push up on the lower spring
cup and snap it off of the
shaft. Remove the spring.
NOTE: If you only wish to change
or fill the shock fluid, skip to step 6.
Turn the shock upside down
and, using the included shock
tool, remove the black shock
cartridge/shaft assembly from
the shock body by turning it
counterclockwise.
Step 2.
Step3.
Remove the 1/4" nut by turning it
counterclockwise. Remove the
piston and washer. Remove the
old cartridge. Put a drop of shock
oil on the shock shaft before
installing new shock cartridge.
Hold here with needle-nose pliers
Tools Needed
Step 4.
Install washer onto the shock
shaft until it stops. Slide the
shock piston onto the shaft
against the washer. Reinstall
1/4" nut and tighten by
turning it clockwise.
Be sure to
reinstall
washer
Step 5.
If you plan on completely changing
the shock fluid (suggested), dump
out the old fluid from the shock
body before reinstalling the
cartridge/shaft assembly. Pull the
shaft out so that the piston is next
to the cartridge and reinstall the
assembly into the shock body;
tighten in a clockwise direction. Step 6.
Note: If you are just refilling your
shocks, be sure to use
Losi 30 wt Silicone
Shock Fluid (LOSA5224).
Remove the shock cap and the
small button head screw and
washer in the top of it.
Carefully fill the shock body with
fluid to the top. Move the shaft
up and down slowly to remove
bubbles. Top off with oil if needed.
Step 7.
Holding the shock upright, push
the shock shaft in slowly until it
bottoms out. While holding the
shock shaft in this position,
replace the small screw and
washer in the shock top. If fluid
leaks around the threads of the
cartridge, it is probably not
tight enough. Step 8.
Slide the spring over the
shock body against the
shock adjuster nut. Slide
the lower shock cup onto
the shock shaft and snap it
onto the shock end being
sure that it seats on the
mount. Reinstall the shock.
