TOOLS REQUIRED<br />
<strong>Team</strong> <strong>Losi</strong> has supplied all necessary Allen wrenches and a special wrench that is needed for assembly and adjustments. The following common<br />
tools will also be required: Needle nose pliers, regular pliers, hobby knife, scissors or other body cutting/trimming tools, and a soldering iron<br />
may be necessary for radio installation. 3/16", 1/4", 11/32", and 3/8" nut drivers are optional.<br />
RADIO/ELECTRICAL<br />
A suggested radio layout is provided in this manual. Your high performance R/C center should be consulted regarding specific questions<br />
pertaining to radio/electrical equipment.<br />
HARDWARE IDENTIFICATION<br />
When in question, use the hardware identification guide in each step. For screws, the prefix number designates the screw size and number of<br />
threads per inch (i.e., 4-40 is #4 screw with 40 threads per inch). The second number or fraction designates the length of the screw. For Cap Head<br />
and Button Head Screws, this number refers to the length of the threaded portion of the screw. For Flat Head Screws, this number refers to the<br />
overall length of the screw. Bearings and bushings are referenced by the inside diameter x outside diameter. Shafts and pins are referred to by<br />
diameter x length. Washers are described by inside diameter or the screw size that will pass through the inside diameter. E-clips are sized by the<br />
shaft diameter that they attach to.<br />
MOTORS AND GEARING<br />
The <strong>XXX</strong>-<strong>BK2</strong> includes an 78-tooth, 48-pitch Kevlar spur gear. The overall internal drive ratio of the transmission is 2.56:1. The pinion gear that<br />
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,<br />
if you are using a 21-tooth pinion gear, you would divide 78 (spur gear size) by 21 (pinion gear size) 78/21=3.71. This tells you that 3.71 is the<br />
external drive ratio. Next, multiply the internal drive ratio (2.56) by the external drive ratio (in this case 3.71). 2.56 x 3.71 = 9.50. This means that<br />
by using a 21-tooth pinion gear with a 78-tooth spur gear, the final drive ratio is 9.50:1.<br />
Consult your high-performance shop for recommendations to suit your racing style and class. The chart below lists some of the more<br />
common motor types and a recommended initial gearing for that motor. Ratios can be adjusted depending on various track layouts, tire sizes,<br />
and battery types.<br />
