XXX-T CR Instruction Manual Part 1 - Team Losi Racing

qSTEP I-01Intro to the XXX-T CR ManualINTROWelcome Team Losi XXX-T CR Owner!Thank you for selecting the XXX-T CR as your new racing truck. The XXX-T CR has already distinguished itself as a top caliber racingchassis and as you will see, we have made every effort to produce a kit that is not only the most competitive but also easy to build and maintain.The simple bag-by-bag assembly sequence and easily followed instructions and drawings combined with Team Losi’s world famousquality fitting parts will make building the XXX-T CR 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 familiarizeyou with the various parts, assembly tips, and descriptions as well as the tools needed. Taking an extra moment before starting can save agood deal of time and assure proper assembly.Good luck and good racing,Team Losi RacingXXX-CR COMPLETED KIT SPECIFICATIONSOverall Chassis Length: 16.4in (416mm) Wheelbase: 11.25in (286mm) *Front Track Width: 12.725in (323mm)Overall Length w/Tires: 17in (431mm) *Overall Height: 5.5in (139mm) *Rear Track Width: 12.725in (323mm)Note: Final kit weight will vary depending on accessories used.*All measurements taken at ride height (23mm).Table 1: XXX-T CR Completed Kit Specifications.Kit/Manual Organization:The kit is composed of different bags marked A through F. Eachbag contains all of the parts necessary to complete a particular sectionof the kit. Some of these bags have sub-assembly bags withinthem. It is essential that you open only one bag at a time and followthe correct assembly sequence, otherwise you may face difficulties infinding the correct part. It is helpful to read through the instructionsfor an entire bag prior to beginning assembly. Next to each of the stepnumbers is a check box. At the completion of each step, place a checkin 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 IdentificationGuide is included as a fold-out page at the back of this manual. Hardwarethat is not easily differentiable in each step is called out withan icon which contains a smallpicture of the part genre (referencedon the Hardware IdentificationGuide), the quantity ofthat part required for what isshown in the step, and the sizeor name of that part. To check a part, hold it against the silhouetteuntil the correct part is identified. Associated with each of these parts,in the Hardware Identification Guide, is a LOSA-Number which isused when ordering replacement parts for your XXX-T CR. In somecases, extra hardware has been supplied for parts that may be easy tolose.Components used in each step are identified by their relativeLOSA-Number and the component’s name. With the exception ofa few parts, these are not referenced in the Hardware IdentificationGuide.The molded parts in Team Losi Racing kits are manufactured todemanding tolerances. When screws are tightened to the point of beingsnug, the parts are held firmly in place. For this reason, it is veryimportant that screws not be overtightened in any of the plasticparts.In some steps there will be a filled black circle with a whitenumber. These indicate the specific order by which assembly mustoccur. In cases where steps are repeated (front/rear or left/right) thesenumbers may be omitted. Please note that these numbers will not callout every sub-step required for the step’s assembly procedures, theywill only highlight the critical order required for assembly.In each step, there are specific “Detail Icons” (shaped like a stopsign) that call out critical precautions or assembly tips for the process.There is a reference key that describes the meaning of each ofthe icons located on the fold-out Hardware Identification Guide atthe back of this manual.To ensure that parts are not lost during construction, it is recommendedthat you work over a towel or mat to prevent parts fromrolling away.IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:1. Select an area for assembly that is away from the reach of smallchildren. Some parts in this kit are small and can be swallowedby children, causing choking and possible internal injury;PLEASE USE CAUTION!2. The shock fluid and greases supplied should be kept out of children’sreach. They are not intended for human consumption!3. Exercise care when using any hand tools, sharp instruments, orpower tools during construction.4. Carefully read all manufacturer’s warnings and cautions for anychemicals, glues, or paints that may be used for assembly and

qSTEP E-01Shock AssemblyBAG E••••••Match short front Shock Bodies with assembled short front Shock Shafts and long rear Shock Bodies to assembled long rear ShockShafts.Holding the shock body inverted, fill the Shock Body with Shock Oil up to the bottom of the threads inside the Shock Body.Insert shaft assembly with cartridge against the shock piston.Slowly tighten the Cartridge until it bottoms against the Shock Body. Do not tighten all the way.Slowly push Shock Shaft assembly into the Shock Body. This will bleed the excess oil out of the Shock.Once the Shaft is pushed all the way down into the Shock Body, tighten the Shock Cartridge the rest of the way with a 7/16” wrench or apair of pliers approximately 1/8th of a turn.There should be no air in the Shocks as you move the Shaft in and out of the Shock Body. If there is; you will need to add some Oil andrepeat the bleed process. If the Shock does not compress all the way, the shock has too much Oil. Simply loosen the Cartridge about 1/4turn and push the Shaft into the Body and retighten the Cartridge.•A9940Ball JointA5023Shock EndA5055Shock Body,FrontA5056Shock Body,RearA5062Shock Shaft,RearA5015Shock CartridgeA5015x11/8” x 0.140”A5050x11/8” x 0.625”A5064Shock Shaft,FrontA5047Shock Piston, #55(Orange)A6100x00A5049Shock AdjustmentNutA5156Spring, Rear(Silver)A5147Spring, Rear(White)A5045Shock Piston, #57(Black)1/8” E-ClipA5079Spring Cup12
