Step 1. Inspect the inside of the tires [front (134), rear (135)] for any excess material. If present, trim excess rubber to ensure proper seating
of the tire on the wheel [front (136), rear (137)]. During tire assembly, make sure that all lettering faces to the outside of the wheel.
*NOTE: Do not set tires on furniture as they may leave permanent stains.
!
Step 2. Insert a foam tire liner (138) into each of the front tires (134). Pull the front tires (134) over the front wheels (136) and squeeze the tires
(134) to properly seat them into the grooves in the wheels (136). Make certain that the foam liners (138) are not pinched between the tires (134)
and the wheels (136).
!
Step 3. Insert a foam tire liner (138) into each of the rear tires (135). Pull the rear tires (135) over the rear wheels (137) so that the long leg of
the "T" points inward, (137) and squeeze the tires (135) to properly seat them into the grooves in the wheels (137). Make certain that the foam
liners (138) are not pinched between the tires (135) and the wheels (137).
!
Step 4. The tires (134), (135) must be glued to the wheels (136), (137). This can be done by using a fast-curing superglue or cyanoacrylate
glue available at your hobby shop. Be sure to follow the manufacturers' warnings on the bottle.
!
Team Losi Tire Glue (A-7880 or A-7881(Thin)) is the best glue available for gluing R/C car tires. This glue was produced specifically
for this purpose.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before continuing. Read and follow adhesive manufacturers' safety warnings
regarding use.
!
Step 5. Press a 3/16" x 3/8" bearing (27) into the inside of each front wheel (136). Place the wheel (136) over the front axle (14) so the flat
surface faces the outside. Slide an inner axle spacer (67) over the front axle (30), next to the inside bearing (27) so that the spacer (67) is
positioned in the center of the wheel (136). Press the remaining 3/16" x 3/8" bearings (27) into the outside of the wheels (136).
*NOTE: If the 3/16" x 3/8" bearings only have one Teflon
™
seal (colored, woven looking) in them, position the seal to the outside of the
wheel.
!
Step 6. Place a 3/16" x .015" shim (139) over each of the front axles (30), next to the outside bearing (27). Secure the front wheels (136) by
threading a 10-32 locknut (140) onto each front axle (30) and tightening.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not overtighten the front wheel nuts. The front tires should rotate freely.
!
Step 7. Mount the rear wheels (137) to the rear axles (62) by lining up the pin (69) in the rear axle (62) with the groove in the rear wheel (137)
and pushing the wheel (137) all the way onto the axle (62).
!
Step 8. Secure the rear wheels (137) by attaching 8-32 locknuts (166) to the rear axles (62) and tightening.
