Hi All,
So technically this is more of an MTXL question, but I am trying to reassemble my truck after needing to replace some broken parts, specifically the Hot-Racing ball-bearing steering system. It is pretty much a direct replacement for the stock system, and therefore not a complicated install, however with the exploded diagram being all I have to go on, there doesn't seem to be any way to determine with 100% certainty which screws go where. Perhaps I am missing something in the way Losi does their manuals (my 1st Losi-brand product), but when I look at the exploded view, the 4 screws that come up through the bottom of the chassis are all labeled LOS255003. I expected to be able to match that number up with the exact screw, but when I refer to the legend, there are 8 different sizes attached to this part number (see attached)! I'm new to 1/5th scale, but not to R/C, and I just want to make sure I reassemble this beast the right way, as my goal is to strengthen several weak spots in the process. Up until this point I've been pretty unimpressed with the truck's durability, and I'm working on changing that. I know it's too much to ask (unfortunately) for Lost to provide a step-by-step assembly manual, and the trend by manufacturers to produce RTR kits without this is the only really significant disappointment I've noticed since returning to the hobby after a 20-year hiatus. Anyway, I'm thinking I must be missing something here. Anyone able to advise?
Thank you.
