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 bead on the Wheel [front (136) , rear (137)]. During Tire assembly, make sure that all lettering on the sidewall of the front Tires faces
to the outside of the Wheel. On the rear Tires, there is a directional arrow, please ensure that this arrow is pointing the same direction (with
reference to car from each side) since these tires are directional
*NOTE: Do not set Tires on furniture as they may leave permanent stains.
It is recommended that you dampen a corner of a cloth with some rubbing alcohol and use it to clean off any residue from the bead of the
Tire to ensure a clean gluing surface. Be sure to let the alcohol on the Tire dry before inserting the Foam Insert into the Tire.
2. Insert a Foam Liner (139) into the two front Tires. Pull the front Tires over the front Wheels and squeeze the Tires to properly seat the
bead into the grooves of the Wheels. Make certain that the Foam Liners are not pinched between the Tires and the Wheels.
3. Insert a Foam Tire Liner into the two rear Tires. Pull the rear Tires over the rear Wheels and squeeze the Tires to properly seat the bead
into the grooves of the Wheels. Make certain that the Foam Liners are not pinched between the Tires and the Wheels.
Team Losi Tire Glue (A-7880 "Thick", A-7881 "Thin") is the best Glue available for gluing R/C car Tires. This Glue was produced
specifically for this purpose. The Team Losi (A-7884) off-road Tire Gluing kit is also available to get the job done right. It includes a bottle
of glue, an applicator tube, and a ten rubber bands. The rubber bands will be used to properly seat and hold the Tire bead into the Wheel
while gluing.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Allow the Glue to dry thoroughly before continuing. Read and follow adhesive manufacturers' safety warn-
ings regarding use.
4. The tires now need to be glued to the wheels. This can be done by using a fast-curing super glue or cyanoacrylate glue, available at your
local hobby shop. Install a Tire gluing rubber band around the outside of the Tire, in line with the bead to hold it onto the Wheel. Now slightly
pull back the tire bead from the Wheel and apply a thin bead of glue between the Tire bead and the Wheel all the way around, wait for this side
to dry and do the same to the other side until the Tire is firmly adhered to the Wheel. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before continuing.
5. Install a 3/16" x 3/8" Bearing (27) into the backside of the front Wheel (Teflon seal facing out). Insert a Bearing Spacer (67) into the
Wheel from the front side. Capture the Spacer with a second Bearing (Teflon seal facing out as well).
6. Install the front Wheels by sliding the front Wheel with Bearings over the front Axle (30) as shown in Figure 61. Place a 3/16" x 3/8"
x 0.015" Shim (31) over the Axle against the outside Bearing. Secure the Wheel by threading a 10-32 Locknut (140) onto the Axle and
Tightening.
7. Mount the rear Wheels to the rear Axles (62) by lining up the Roll Pin (69) in the rear Axle with the groove in the rear Wheel and
pushing the Wheel all the way onto the Axle, making sure the Roll Pin is lined up with the slot on the Wheel.
8. Secure the rear Wheels by threading the 10-32 Locknuts on to the Rear Axles and tightening.
