Step 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!
!
Step 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.
!
Step 3. Using a high-quality contact cement, glue the tire inserts (126) into rings. The narrow side of the insert must be to the inside of the
ring when complete.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Always wear eye protection, a mask, and always read and follow the manufacturer's safety warnings
regarding the use of any adhesives.
!
Step 4. Once the contact cement has completely dried, install the tire inserts (126) into the tires (125). Pull the tire (125) over the wheel (124)
and squeeze the tire (125) to properly seat it into the grooves of the wheel (124). Make certain that the tire insert (126) is not pinched between
the tire (125) and the wheel (124).
IMPORTANT NOTE:The tires included with the XXX-S are directional. You must install two tires to the wheels in one
direction, and the remaining two tires in the other direction when mounting them to the wheels. When installed correctly, the tread on all four
tires will face the same direction when mounted onto the car.
!
Step 5. The tires (125) should now be glued to the wheels (124). This can be done by using a fast-curing superglue or cyanoacrylate glue
available at your local hobby shop. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before continuing. Team Losi Tread Lock (A-7880) is the best glue
available for gluing R/C car tires. This glue was produced specifically for this purpose.
!
Step 6. Slide the four "smaller" hex adapters (142), slot-side first, over each of the axles (72) line up the pin (75) with the slot in the hex
adapter (142) and press the adapter (142) over the pin (75) against the spacer (150).
!
Step 7. Attach a wheel to the left rear axle (72) by lining up the hex in the wheel (124) with the hex adapter (142). The wheel (124) should be
installed so the when looking at the tire (125) from the top, the tread should form an arrow that points towards the front of the car.
!
Step 8. Secure the rear wheel (124) by threading an 8-32 locknut (144), (supplied with your CVD kit), onto the rear axle (72) and tighten.
!
Step 9. Repeat Steps 7-8 for the remaining tire assemblies.
