Welcome Team Losi Racing
8IGHT-T 2.0
Owner!
Vehicle/Manual Organization:
The vehicle is composed of different steps marked A through H. Each
step contains all of the parts necessary to complete a particular section
of the vehicle. Some of these steps have sub-assembly steps within them.
It is helpful to read through the instructions for an entire step prior to
working on your vehicle. Next to each of the step numbers is a check box.
At the completion of each step, place a check in this box so that if you
must stop and come back to the assembly, you will be able to pick up
where you left off.
For your convenience, an actual-size Hardware Identification Guide is
included as a fold-out page at the back of this manual. Hardware that
is not easily differentiable in each step is called out with an icon which
contains a small picture of the part genre (referenced on the Hardware
Identification Guide), the quantity of that part required for what is shown
in the step, and the size or name of that part. To check a part, hold it
against the silhouette until the correct part is identified. Associated with
each of these parts, in the Hardware Identification Guide, is an LOSA-
Number which is used when
ordering replacement parts
for your 8IGHT-T 2.0. In some
cases, extra hardware has been
supplied for parts that may be
easy to lose.
Components used in each step
are identified by their relative LOSA-Number and the component’s
name. With the exception of a few parts, these are not referenced in the
Hardware Identification Guide.
The molded parts in Team Losi Racing vehicles are manufactured to
demanding tolerances. When screws are tightened to the point of
being snug, the parts are held firmly in place. For this reason, it is very
important that screws not be overtightened in any of the plastic parts.
In some steps there will be a filled black circle with a white number.
These indicate the specific order by which assembly must occur. In cases
where steps are repeated (front/rear or left/right) these numbers may be
omitted. Please note that these numbers will not call out every sub-step
required for the step’s assembly procedures, they will only highlight the
critical order required for assembly.
In each step, there are specific “Detail Icons” (shaped like a stop sign) that
call out critical precautions or assembly tips for the process. There is a
reference key that describes the meaning of each of the icons located on
the fold-out Hardware Identification Guide at the back of this manual.
To ensure that parts are not lost during construction, it is recommended
that you work over a towel or mat to prevent parts from rolling away.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:
1. Select an area for assembly that is away from the reach of small
children.
Some parts in this vehicle are small and can be swallowed
by children, causing choking and possible internal injury; PLEASE USE
CAUTION!
2. The shock fluid and greases supplied should be kept out of
children’s reach.
They are not intended for human consumption!
3. Exercise care when using any hand tools, sharp instruments, or
power tools during construction.
4. Carefully read all manufacturer’s warnings and cautions
for any
chemicals, glues, or paints that may be used for assembly and
operating purposes.
