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

    Remove the gear cover.
    Remove the throttle linkage from the carburetor and the brake linkage from the servo arm.
    Loosen the four motor mount screws (bottom of the chassis) and slide the motor back.
    Remove 2-speed spur gears.
    Remove the five transmission mounting screws and lift the transmission out.
    Remove the outdrive and ten 5/64” cap head screws. Remove the transmission case half.
    Regrease the gears and shafts, inspecting each for wear.
    Replace any worn or failed gears.
    Wipe out the inside of the gear case, removing any debris, old grease and foreign matter.
    Check all ball bearings for free movement cleaning or replacing as necessary.
    Reinstall gears on the shafts lubing with LOSA3066 Losi Assembly Grease.
    Reassemble the transmission lubricating liberally with LOSA3066 or similar high-grade grease.
    Make sure the setscrews in the outdrive cups are tightened (a locking compound is highly suggested).
    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.
