TOOLS REQUIR ED
Team Losi has supplied all necessary Allen wrenches and a special wrench that is needed for assembly and adjustments. The follow-
ing common lOols will also be required: Needle-nose pliers, regu lar pliers, hobby knife, scissors or other body cutting/ trimming tools,
and a soldering iron may be necessary for radio installation. 3/ 16", 1/4'', and 3/8" nul drivers are optional.
RADIO/ ELECTRICAL
A suggested radio layout is
pro~ided
in this manual. Your high-performance
RIC center
should be consulted regardi ng specifics on
radjo/ electricaJ equipment.
HARDWARE IDENTIFICATION
When in question, use the hardware identification guide in each step. For screws, th e prerlX nwnber 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 screws,
this number
refers
lo
tl1 e length of the threaded portion of the screw. For nat-head screws, this number
refers to the overall length of the screw. Bearings and bushings are referenced by the inside diameter x outside diam eter. Shafts and
pins are diameter x length. Washers are described by inside iliameter or the screw size that will pass through the inside diameter.
£-clips are sized by the shaft diameter that they attach to.
MOTORS AND GEARING
The Street Weapon includes a 78-tooth, 48-pitch spur gear. The overall internal drive ratio of the Street Weapon
is
2.3: I. 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, tf you are usmg a 20-tooth pinion gear, you would ruvide 78 {spur gear size) by 20 (pinion gear
si :~:e).
78120
=
3.9.
Thjs tells you that
3.9is
the external drive ratio. Next, multiply the internal drive ratio (2.3) by the external drive ratio (in this case 3.9).
2.3 x 3.9
=
8.97. This means that by using a 20-tooth pinion gear with the standard 78-toolh spw· gear, the final drive ratio is 8.97:1.
Consult your high-performance shop for recommendations to sult your racing style and class. The chart below lists some of ilie
more common motor types and a recommended initial gearing for that motor. Ratios can be adjusted depending on va ri ous track
layouts, tire size:., and battery types.
