Team Losi has supplied all necessary Allen wrenches and a special wrench that is needed for assembly and adjustments. The following
common tools will also be required: Needle-nose pliers, regular pliers, hobby knife, scissors or other body cutting/trimming tools, and
a soldering iron may be necessary for radio installation. 3/16", 1/4", 11/32", and 3/8" nut drivers are optional.
A suggested radio layout is provided in this manual. Your high-performance R/C center should be consulted regarding specific
questions pertaining to radio/electrical equipment.
When in question, use the hardware identification guide in each step. For screws, the prefix number designates the screw size and
number of threads per inch (i.e., 4-40 is #4 screw with 40 threads per inch). The second number or fraction designates the length of
the screw. For cap-head and button-head screws, this number refers to the length of the threaded portion of the screw. For flat-head
screws, this number refers to the overall length of the screw. Bearings and bushings are referenced by the inside diameter x outside
diameter. Shafts and pins are referred to by diameter x length. Washers are described by inside diameter or the screw size that will
pass through the inside diameter. E-clips are sized by the shaft diameter that they attach to.
The Triple-X includes an 78-tooth, 48-pitch spur gear. The overall internal drive ratio of the transmission is 2.43:1. The pinion gear that
is used will determine the final drive ratio. To calculate the final drive ratio, first divide the spur gear size by the pinion gear size. For
example, if you are using a 20-tooth pinion gear, you would divide 78 (spur gear size) by 20 (pinion gear size). 78/20=3.9 . This tells
you that 3.9 is the external drive ratio. Next, multiply the internal drive ratio (2.43) by the external drive ratio (in this case 3.9).
2.43 x 3.9 = 9.477 . This means that by using a 20-tooth pinion gear with the standard 78-tooth spur gear, the final drive ratio is 9.477.
Consult your high-performance shop for recommendations to suit your racing style and class. The chart below lists some of the
more common motor types and a recommended initial gearing for that motor. Ratios can be adjusted depending on various track
layouts, tire sizes, and battery types.
