Welcome Team Losi XXX-4 Owner!

Thank you for selecting Team Losi and the XXX-4 Graphite Plus as your new racing buggy.   As you will see, we have

made every effort to design and produce a kit that is not only the most competitve, but easy to build and maintain. The simple

bag-by-bag assembly sequence and unmatched easy to follow instructions, combined with Team Losi's world famous quality-

fitting parts, should make building your new XXX-4 Graphite Plus a most enjoyable project.

Before you open the first bag or start any assembly, please take a few moments to read completely through the following

instructions. This will familiarize you with the various parts as well as the tools you will need. Taking an extra moment before

starting can save you a good deal of time and assure proper assembly.

Once again, thank you for choosing Team Losi.

Good luck and good racing!

NOTES & SYMBOLS USED

This is a common Step sequence found at the beginning of each

new illustration throughout the manual.

q

1. Each  step throughout the entire manual has a check box to the

left of it. As you complete each step, mark the box with a check. If you

need to take a break and return to building at a later time you will be

able to locate the exact step where you left off.
 

 This is a common note. It is used to call attention to specific

details of a certain step in the assembly.

     IMPORTANT NOTE:

 Even if you are familiar with Team

Losi kits, be sure and pay attention to these notes. They point out

very important details during the assembly process. Do not ignore

these  notes!

      In illustrations where it is important to note which

direction parts are facing, a helmet like this one will be included in the

illustration. The helmet will always face forward in the car as the

driver would. Any reference to the right or left side will relate to the

direction of the helmet.

The kit is composed of different bags marked A through H. Each

bag contains all of the parts necessary to complete a particular sec-

tion of the 

XXX-4 Graphite Plus

. Some of these bags have subas-

sembly bags within them. 

It is essential that you open only one bag

at a time and follow the correct assembly sequence, otherwise you

may face difficulties in finding the correct part.

 It is helpful to read

through the instructions for an entire bag prior to beginning assem-

bly. Key numbers (in parenthesis) have been assigned to each part

and remain the same thoughout the manual. In some illustrations,

parts which have already been installed are not shown so that the

current steps can be illustrated more clearly.

For  your  convenience,  an actual-size  hardware  identification

guide is included with each step. To check a part, hold it against the

silhouette until the correct part is identified. In some cases extra

hardware has been supplied for parts that may be easy to lose.

The molded parts in the 

XXX-4 Graphite Plus

 are manufactured

so that they interlock. 

When screws are tightened to the point of

being snug, the parts are held firmly in place.

 For this reason it is

very important that screws not be overtightened in any of the plastic

parts.

To ensure that parts are not lost during construction, it is recom-

mended that you work over a towel or mat to prevent parts from

rolling away.

1. Select an area for assembly that is away from the reach of small

children. 

Some parts in this kit are small and can be swallowed by

children, causing choking and possible internal injury.

2. The shock fluid and greases supplied should be kept out of

childrens' reach. 

They are not intended for human consumption!

3. 

Exercise care

 when using 

any

 hand tools, sharp instruments,

or power tools during construction.

4. 

Carefully read all manufacturer's warnings and cautions

 for

any glues, chemicals, or paints that may be used for assembly and

operating purposes. 

When you are using glues, chemicals, and paints

you should always wear eye protection and a mask.
