Team Losi Racing TLR04011 XE Elite Instruction Manual

For optimal performance, it is recommended to use a high-quality brushless motor and ESC combination, a reliable servo with sufficient torque, and a compatible radio system. Brands like Spektrum, Castle Creations, and Savox are popular choices among enthusiasts.
Adjust the shock oil weight, spring rate, and camber angles to adapt to various track conditions. Softer setups are typically better for bumpy tracks, while stiffer setups suit smoother surfaces. Experimentation and testing will help you find the optimal setup.
Regularly clean the drivetrain components, check for wear and tear, and lubricate moving parts with silicone-based lubricants. Replace any worn-out gears or bearings to ensure smooth operation.
Check for any obstructions in the steering linkage, ensure the servo is functioning correctly, and verify that the servo saver is properly adjusted. If the problem persists, inspect the servo for damage or consider replacing it.
Ensure all connections are secure, check for any damaged wires, and confirm that the battery is charged. Use a multimeter to test the ESC and motor for proper operation. If issues continue, consult the manual or seek assistance from a professional.
It's recommended to rebuild the shocks every 10-15 runs, or sooner if you notice a decrease in performance. Regular maintenance helps maintain consistent handling and prolongs the life of the shock components.
For clay tracks, select tires with a medium to soft compound and a tread pattern designed for high grip. Popular choices include Pro-Line Electrons and JConcepts Double Dees. Tire selection may vary based on specific track conditions.
Install aluminum upgrades for critical components like suspension arms and shock towers, use high-quality fasteners, and regularly check for loose parts. Proper maintenance and careful driving also contribute to increased durability.
To set up the gear mesh, ensure there is a small amount of play between the pinion and spur gears. A common method is to insert a piece of paper between the gears, tighten the motor screws, and then remove the paper. The gears should move smoothly without excessive play.
Clean the vehicle thoroughly, remove the battery, and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping the kit in a protective case can prevent dust accumulation and physical damage.
