If you have any problems other than those covered in the troubleshooting section, please call the electronics service
department at (877) 504-0233.
They will be able to give your specific problem additional attention and instruct you as
to what needs to be done.
If you have any questions other than those covered in the troubleshooting or maintenance sections, please call

Performance can be hindered if dirt gets in any of the moving suspension parts. Use compressed air, a soft
paintbrush, or toothbrush to remove dust or dirt. Avoid using solvents or chemicals as they can actually wash
dirt into the bearings or moving parts as well as cause damage to the electronics.
The gears in the differential will wear over time. The same is true for the outdrives,
driveshafts, and rear axles. We suggest using a small rag or paper towel to lay out the parts
you remove to make it easier to reassemble.
1. Unplug the motor.
2. Remove the two screws attaching the roll cage at the back as well as the two at the top and bottom of the shock tower.
3. Remove the two screws attaching the rear brace to the transmission and the four screws at the bottom of the
chassis holding the gearbox in place and slide it out of the chassis.
4. Remove the steel outdrives from either side then the left side of the gearbox by removing the four screws.
5. Carefully remove the large plastic sun gear and the bevel gears on either side of it. You can use the removed
differential assembly as a guide for putting together the replacement unit (a little Team Losi T
eflon grease
#LOSA3066 or LOSA99208 can be applied for even better performance).
6. Remove the center mounted idler gear from the gearbox. Remove the shaft and push out the ball bearings
from either side. Install these bearings in the new gear.

This is the height the chassis sits and runs at. Spring spacers included with the Mini Sprint, when installed between
the shock top and spring, will increase the pre-load on the spring and raise the chassis. You may want to try this when
running on extremely rough surfaces.
Camber is the angle of the tires to the racing surface when viewed from the front
or rear of the truck. You want to keep both the front and rear tires straight up and
down or leaning in at the top very slightly. If you are running on carpet or similar
high traction surfaces, you may find leaning the tires in a bit more helps. This
adjustment is made with the threaded links extending from the front or rear
bulkhead to the spindle carrier or rear hub. Making the camber rods shorter
increases the camber and lean-in of the tire, while making the camber rods longer
decreases the camber.
This is the relationship of the left and right side tire to one another. Ideally you
want the front of the tires to be pointed inward toward each other just slightly
when viewed from above. This makes the model track straight and stable. This is
controlled with the threaded steering rods on either side. As you make them
longer you will increase the toe-in and vice versa.
