Team Losi Racing TLR334038 Parts Manual

To assemble the TLR334038 Race Kit, you will need hex drivers, needle-nose pliers, a hobby knife, a Phillips screwdriver, and a turnbuckle wrench. Having a setup board and calipers can also be beneficial for precision adjustments.
Check for any obstructions or debris in the steering linkage, ensure the servo is functioning properly, and verify that the steering trim is correctly set on your transmitter. Also, inspect the front suspension for any damage or misalignment.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the chassis, checking for loose screws, inspecting the drivetrain for wear, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring the suspension components are in good condition.
To set the gear mesh, insert a piece of paper between the pinion and spur gear, push the motor against the spur gear, and then tighten the motor screws. The paper should be able to slide out without tearing, indicating a proper gear mesh.
To improve handling on a high-grip track, consider adjusting the suspension setup by using stiffer springs, increasing camber angles, and lowering the ride height. Fine-tuning the shock oil viscosity can also enhance performance.
Ensure proper ventilation by keeping the body shell well-vented and using a motor heatsink or fan. Also, check the gear ratio to ensure it is not too aggressive and regularly clean the motor to remove dust and debris.
To waterproof your kit, use waterproof electronics, apply dielectric grease to connectors, and use a conformal coating on exposed circuit boards. Additionally, seal the receiver box with silicone sealant to prevent water ingress.
Remove the tires and use a tire balancer to find the heavy spot. Add weight to the inner rim opposite the heavy spot until the tire is balanced. Reinstall the tires securely on the wheels.
Follow the engine manufacturer's instructions, which typically involve running the engine at a rich setting for several tanks of fuel, gradually leaning the mixture as the engine breaks in. Avoid full throttle during the break-in period.
To extend battery life, avoid over-discharging by setting a low voltage cutoff, store batteries at a proper storage voltage, and use a balance charger to ensure each cell is equally charged. Regularly check for any signs of damage or puffing.
