Welcome Team Losi XXX-BK2 Owner!

Thank you for choosing the Team Losi 

XXX-BK2

. I have been fortunate to work and race for Team Losi through the years. I owe

a great deal of my success to their cutting edge designs and attention to detail. The Team Losi 

XXX-BK2

 kit includes a large

selection of the more important specialty parts I used to win many ROAR Modified 2 Wheel Drive National Championships.

Before you start building your new 

XXX-BK2

, I suggest you read through the instructions first. Be sure to check out the perfor-

mance tips as you build and the tuning tips at the back of this manual as well. I hope you enjoy your 

XXX-

BK2 as much as I do

mine.

Good luck, and thank you for choosing Team Losi.

NOTES & SYMBOLS USED

Step A-1

This is a common step sequence found at the beginning of

each new illustration throughout the manual.

q

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.

*NOTE: 

This is a common note. It is used to call attention to

specific details of a certain step in the assembly.

 IMPORTANT NOTE:

 Even if you are familiar with Team

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!

 

 The Team Losi icon designates a performance tip. These tips

are  not  necessary,  but  can  improve  the  performance  of  your

XXX-BK2 

car.

In illustrations where it is important to note which direction

parts are facing, a helmet like this one will be included in the illustra-

tion. The helmet will always face with a driver's perspective. Any ref-

erence to the right or left side will relate to the direction of the helmet.

KIT/MANUAL ORGANIZATION

The kit is composed of different bags marked A through G. Each bag

contains all of the parts necessary to complete a particular section of

the kit. Some of these bags have subassembly 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. Key numbers (in parentheses) have

been assigned to each part and remain the same throughout the manual.

In some illustrations, parts which have already been installed are not

shown so that the current steps can be illustrated more clearly.

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 hard-

ware has been supplied for parts that may be easy to lose.

The molded parts in the kit are manufactured to demanding tol-

erances. 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 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.

2. The shock fluid and greases supplied should be kept out of

children'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 manufacturers' warnings and cautions 

for

any glues, chemicals, or paints that may be used for assembly and

operating purposes.
