Step G-1
q
1. Inspect the inside of the Tires (125) for any excess material. If present, trim the excess rubber to ensure proper seating of the Tire on the
Wheel (124).
Do not set the Tires on furniture as they may leave permanent stains!
q
2. Locate the four Molded Tire Inserts (126). The length of each of the four Foam Strips should be 6-7/8" (17.5cm). If any of the Strips are
excessively long, trim them to 6-7/8" (17.5cm) before continuing.
It is very important that the edges of the insert be trimmed as straight as possible. Straight cuts will make it much easier to glue the
inserts into rings.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Always wear eye protection, a mask, and always read and follow the manufacturer's safety warnings
regarding the use of any adhesives.
q
3. Using a high-quality contact cement, glue the Tire Inserts into rings. The narrow side of the Insert must be to the inside of the ring when
complete.
q
4. Once the contact cement has completely dried, install the Tire Inserts into the Tires. Pull the Tire over the Wheel and squeeze the Tire
to properly seat it into the grooves of the Wheel. Make certain that the Tire Insert is not pinched between the Tire and the Wheel.
q
5. The Tires now need to be glued to the Wheels. This can be done by using a fast-curing superglue or cyanoacrylate (CA) glue available
at your local hobby shop. Team Losi Tire Glue (A-7880 Thick, A7881 Thin) is the best glue available for gluing R/C car tires. This glue was
produced specifically for this purpose.
q
6. With the Tire well seated in the grooves of the Wheel, slightly pull back on the Tire to expose the bead. Apply a small amount of glue
in at least four places, per side. You can help the thinner glues to spread around the Tire by rotating the Tire at a slight angle. Allow the glue
to dry thoroughly before continuing.
q
6. Slide the four "Large (12mm)" Hex Adapters (143), slot-side first, over each of the CVD Axles (72). Line up the Pin (75) with the slot in the
Hex Adapter and press the Adapter over the Pin against the Shim.
q
7. Attach a Wheel to the Left Rear Axle by lining up the Hex in the Wheel with the Hex Adapter.
q
8. Secure the Rear Wheel by threading an 8-32 Locknut (144), (supplied with your CVD kit), onto the Rear Axle and tighten.
q
9. Repeat Steps 7-8 for the remaining Tire assemblies.
