Use the same technique to adjust the rear ride height. Again,
refer to the included setup sheet. Every driver likes a little
diff erent feel so you should try small ride height adjustment
to obtain the feel you like. This should be the last adjustments
you make after everything else is dialed in. Note: Do not use
ride height adjustments as a substitute for a spring rate change.
If your TEN-SCTE needs a softer or fi rmer spring, change the
spring. Do not think that simply moving the shock nuts will
change the spring stiff ness as it will NOT!

Wheels and Tires

The tires come pre-mounted with the vehicle and should be
checked to make certain they stay glued to the wheels. The
wheel spinning speeds this vehicle is capable of tend to pull the
rubber tire away from the rim. When a tire or tires come loose
from the rim you will notice the vehicle is hard to control.

Tip the vehicle on its side and using both hands to hold one
wheel at a time, use your thumb to press the tire away from the
rim. If you see a tire pull away from the rim, use Losi Tire Glue
(LOSA7880 thick or LOSA7881 thin) to reglue. It only takes a
small drop of glue generally. Be careful—this is CA-type glue
and you do not want to glue your fi ngers to the wheel and tire.

Use safety goggles when gluing tires.

Check the mounting of the tire periodically to ensure proper
performance and handling.

Troubleshooting your TEN-SCTE

Many questions are the result of simple user errors or minor
adjustments which are easily addressed. If after reading below
you cannot resolve your problem, then please contact the
appropriate Horizon product support department.

Servicing Your Shocks

From time to time you should check your shocks for adequate
fl uid. If the fl uid is low, or it is getting dirty, you should change
the fl uid in the shocks. You may also want to change the shock
fl uid and or the pistons to better address the conditions you
are running on. Regardless of what the reason you will want to
follow these simple steps to service, refi ll, and bleed your TEN-
SCTE shocks. If you are cleaning or changing the fl uid, you will
fi nd the LOSA99217 Nitrotec

™

Spray Cleaner to be the quickest

and easiest way to remove oil fl uid and dirt safely.

If you are changing the pistons, clean the threads on the
end of the shock shaft and apply threadlock (LOSA99202)
to the threads.

Install the small shock piston washer and shock piston
using the 4-40 mini lock nut on the shock shaft to secure
them.

Put a drop of shock fl uid on the shaft before replacing it in
the shock body.

If you are changing the shock end, use the shock tool
provided with the TEN-SCTE to hold the shaft. You will
see that this plastic tool has serrations on both sides that
allow you to hold it with a pair of pliers and not scratch up
the micro fi nished surface. This method works very well to
protect the shock shafts from damage.

After installing, make sure the shaft is fully extended when
fi lling the shock.

Fill the shock body with 30–35-weight shock fl uid until it is
to the top of the Body.

Work the shock shaft up and down a few times. This will
release the air bubbles trapped beneath the piston.

Place the fi lled shock, in the upright position, off to the
side for a few minutes until the air bubbles escape from
the fl uid.

Once all the air bubbles are out of the fl uid, gently place
the shock bladder onto the top of the shock. Some fl uid
will “bleed” from around the bladder.

10. Screw the shock cap onto the body until a little resistance

is felt.

11. Slowly push the shock shaft up. This will allow excess fl uid

to bleed out.

12. Tighten the cap all the way down using the shock tools

included in your kit.

13. Move the shock shaft up and down. The shaft should be

easy to push up into the body of the shock.

14. If increased pressure is felt towards the top, there is too

much oil in the shock. Loosen the shock cap and bleed the
shock as done in steps 11 and 12.

15. Make sure each pair (front/rear) of shocks has the same

rebound and compression. This is checked by holding
one shock in each hand horizontally and pushing them
together by the shock end. Watch carefully to ensure that
both compress evenly. Now release both shocks and again
watch carefully as they should rebound the same.
