Charging the Receiver Battery Pack
2S 7.4V 1000mAh Li-Po battery pack (LOSB9818)
The Losi 2S Li-Po battery pack features a balancing lead that allows you
to safely charge your battery pack when used with a Li-Po balancing charger.
CauTIoN: The balance connector must be inserted into the correct
port of your charger prior to charging.
1. Remove the LiPo receiver battery pack from the battery box and disconnect
the blue EC2 connector.
™
2. Connect the LiPo battery charger to an AC power outlet.
3. Connect the white receiver battery plug to the battery charger. The charger
LED glows RED when the battery is charging. The LED changes to GREEN
when the battery is fully charged.

Installing the Receiver Battery in the Battery Box

1. Connect the fully charged LiPo battery pack to the blue EC2 connector
in the battery box.
2. Gather all of the battery wires and press them into the battery box.
3. Place the LiPo battery pack in the battery box with the warning label
facing up.
4. Place the battery box cover on the battery box.

Engine Break-In and adjustments

The new Losi 3.4 engine in your TEN-SCT has been machined to tight
®
tolerances and does not need an extended break-in. It is always a good idea to
take it easy for the first few tanks of fuel to let all the gears and moving parts
seat into one another. You will notice after the first hour of operation that the
engine will pick up power. It is highly advised that you use Nitrotane 20% Sport
fuel, as the carburetor is factory set for this fuel and other fuels may require
immediate needle valve adjustments. NEVER use model airplane fuel, as it may
cause damage to the engine and void any warranty. If you change fuels or run
in dramatically different environments (hot/cold, high/low elevation, etc), you will
probably have to adjust at least the high-speed needle to prevent overheating
and maintain proper performance.

Tuning a Nitro Engine

Adjusting the carburetor is one of the most critical facets of running a nitro-
powered RC vehicle. The fuel mixture is referred to as being "rich" when there
is too much fuel and "lean" when there is not enough fuel for the amount of air
entering the engine. The amount of fuel entering the engine is adjusted with
high- and low-speed threaded needle valves. The low-speed needle is located
in the front of the moving slide. The high-speed needle sticks straight up at the
back of the carburetor. Both feature a slotted head that is used as a reference
and receptacle for a flat blade screwdriver for adjustments. The mixture is made
richer by turning the needle counterclockwise and leaner by turning clockwise.
An overly "rich" mixture will yield sluggish acceleration and performance with
thick smoke from the exhaust. A "lean" mixture can cause the engine to hesitate
before accelerating or, in some cases, to lose power momentarily after the initial
acceleration. A lean mixture also makes the engine run hotter than desired and
does not provide enough lubrication for the internal engine components, causing
premature wear and damage. It is always advisable to run the engine slightly
rich and never lean to avoid overheating and possible damage.

Engine Tuning

After the engine is broken in, you can tune it for optimum performance.
When tuning, it is critical to be cautious of overheating, as severe damage
and premature wear can occur. Make all carburetor adjustments in
"one hour" increments.
