Start your Engine
Attach the glow plug ignitor (not included)(Fig. 10A) to the glow plug and if metered make sure the needle is in the green or good
condition. Put the standard hex of the starter shaft into the Spin-Start. Slide your hand under the strap of the starter so that your
index finger is on the switch at the bottom. Place the machined end of the starter shaft into the matching hex socket in the back-
plate of the engine (Fig. 10B). Holding the starter securely, press on the switch button and the engine should turn over and start
up. If the engine does not turn over, it is probably flooded or the battery in the starter needs to be recharged. Use a glow plug
wrench to loosen the glow plug at least two turns and try again. Raw fuel should come out around the plug. Tighten the plug
and resume starting procedure.
Follow the engine break-in procedure before attempting any racing or high performance operation. Use caution when adding
fuel while the engine is running. Do not over fill or spill fuel outside the tank.
Although the M26SS motor in your Aftershock is fitted with an easy to use heavy-duty pull
start you may consider upgrading to an electric starting system. We have included a Spin-
Start backplate for the engine, which will allow you to use a common electric drill
or the handheld Team Losi Spin-Start (LOSB5100, sold separately). To change the backplate
follow these steps:
1. Remove engine from the chassis.
2. Remove exhaust header/pipe
3. Remove the four screws (fig. 8A)
and carefully remove the pull-start
4. Install the Spin-Start backplate and
reinstall the engine.
NOTE: If using an electric drill, you will need the LOSB5104 Hex Starter Shaft
Failure to install spring
will cause damage to the
starter components.

Spin-Start Battery Install
Slide the battery access panel opposite the hand strap back
and remove the cover. Remove hex starter shaft from the back side
of the cover (fig. 9B) and press the o-ringed end into the drive cup.
Slide a 7.2 volt 6cell "stick pack" into the Spin-Start and plug it in.
Note that the plug is made such that it can only be plugged in
one way. Carefully tuck the plug wires under the battery access
panel and slide shut.
