  • Page 2: Introduction

    Welcome XXX-S Sport Owner! Thank you for selecting the XXX-S Sport for your new R/C model. As you will see, we have made every effort to design and produce a sedan that is not only most competitve, but also easy to maintain. Before you do any disassembly or mainte- nance, please take a few moments to read through the following instructions.

  • Page 3: Table Of Contents

    MOTORS AND GEARING The XXX-S Sport includes an 88-tooth, 48-pitch spur gear. The internal drive ratio of the XXX-S is 1.83. 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 88 (spur gear size) by 20 (pinion gear size).

    BAG A STOP! There are two, complete differential assemblies in the XXX-S Sport kit. Both differentials are identical front and rear. Proceed through the Bag A instructions twice - once for the front differential, and once for the rear differential.

    TIPS AND HINTS FROM THE TEAM Before you start making changes on your XXX-S Sport, you need to make a few decisions. Tires and how they are set-up have a tremendous impact on overall performance. Before you start making changes on the chassis take a moment to observe a few of the fastest cars and what type of tire and inner liner they are running.
  • Page 35 Front End: Shock Location; Leaning the shocks in (mounting them closer to the center of the tower) will give a smoother transition as you enter into turns and improve consistency but will yield less total steering and give a slower reaction. This might be helpful on high bite surfaces.
  • Page 36 The 41T pulley does not have any type of marking on the flange area. We are sure that you will find the XXX-S Sport to be the most versatile and easiest car to drive fast with great consistency. We at Team Losi hope this information helps you to enjoy your XXX-S Sport and racing as much as we do.
