Waterproof Component
Your new Horizon Hobby® Spektrum™ 25A Brushed Waterproof 2-in-1 ESC and Dual
Protocol Receiver has been designed and built to allow you to operate the
product in many “wet conditions”, including puddles, creeks, wet grass, snow
and even rain. While waterproof, this component has not been designed to be
immersed in water for long periods of time and should NOT be treated like a
submarine. In addition, most metal parts, including any screws and nuts, as
well as the contacts in the electrical cables, will be susceptible to
corrosion if additional maintenance is not performed after running in wet
conditions.
To maximize the long-term performance of your ESC and to keep the warranty
intact, it should only be used as described in the “Usage Conditions” section
of this manual. Additionally, the procedures described in the “Wet Conditions
Maintenance” section must be performed regularly if you choose to run in wet
conditions. If you are not willing to perform the additional care and
maintenance required, then you should not operate your vehicle in those
conditions.
CAUTION: Failure to exercise caution while using this product and comply
with the following precautions could result in product malfunction and/or void
the warranty.
General Precautions
- Read through the wet conditions maintenance procedures and make sure that you have all the tools you will need to properly maintain your ESC.
- Do not operate your ESC where it could come in contact with salt water (ocean water or water on salt-covered roads), contaminated or polluted water. Salt water is very conductive and highly corrosive, so use caution.
Usage Conditions
Your ESC will operate successfully in any of the following, individual-usage
scenarios:
- 2 hours continuous operation in damp grass or vegetation.
- 2 hours continuous operation in heavy fog (95% humidity, saturated air, condensing water).
- 1 hour continuous operation in light rain (<0.10 in/2.5mm per hour).
- 15 minutes continuous operation in heavy rain (>0.30 in/7.6 mm per hour).
- 1 hour continuous operation in light sleet (<0.10 in/2.5mm per hour).
- 1 hour continuous operation in light snow (<0.25 in/6.35mm per hour).
- 45 minutes continuous operation in standing or running fresh water (the water level should always remain below the vehicle frame), or constant splashing water, without any immersion of waterproof component(s).
- 5 minutes continuous operation in standing or running fresh water (the water level should never rise higher than 0.5 in (about 10mm) above the vehicle frame), constant splashing water, or frequent, intermittent immersion of waterproof component(s).
- 1 hour continuous operation in damp sand, dirt, mud or snow (the material level should always be below the vehicle frame), constant splatter without any immersion or coverage of waterproof component(s).
Furthermore, when appropriate maintenance procedures (as described below) are
performed promptly following exposure, the ESC will remain best protected from
corrosion or other long-term, water-related damage.
Wet Conditions Maintenance
- Gently rinse the mud and dirt off the ESC with a garden hose.
- Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts.
- If you have an air compressor or a can of compressed air available, blow off the ESC to help remove any water that may have gotten into small crevices or corners. Dry any water that may be inside a recessed connector housing.
- Let the ESC air dry before you store it. Water may continue to seep or evaporate out of tight areas for a few hours.
NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean your vehicle.

NOTICE: Always disconnect the battery from the ESC when you have finished
operating your vehicle. If you leave the battery connected with the power
switch in the OFF position, the ESC will continue to draw current when
connected to the battery, resulting in possible damage to the battery through
over-discharge.
NOTICE: Do not connect a dedicated receiver battery to the servo or
programming ports. When the ESC/Receiver is turned On it will provide the
servo ports with 6V regulated power from the main battery. If a dedicated
receiver battery is connected to the servo ports, the ESC/receiver may be
damaged.
Installation
- Determine how to mount the ESC/Receiver as specified by your vehicle’s instruction manual, or in an area with adequate airflow and protection from damage. Ensure all wiring connections can be reached prior to mounting. For the best reception performance choose a mounting arrangement that will put the antenna as high as possible in the vehicle, away from metal or carbon fiber.
- Use double-sided foam tape or the mounting tabs with screws on the bottom of the case to secure the ESC in position. The switch can be mounted with double sided foam tape.
- Connect the red power connectors together and the black power connectors together between the ESC and the motor.
- If you need to reverse the motor direction you can reverse the power connections between the motor and ESC.
- Secure all wiring and ensure the 2-in-1 has good airflow.
NOTICE: Do not cut, kink, or modify the antenna. Damage to the antenna or shortening it will reduce the range.
Binding
This receiver can bind to either DSM or SLT transmitters.
DSMR or DSM2
- Connect a battery but leave the power switch OFF.
- Press and hold the bind button on the receiver.
- Throttle should be at neutral to set fail safe. Power ON the receiver. The red and green LEDs both flash, indicating the receiver is in bind mode. Release the bind button after the LEDs begin to flash.
- Put your transmitter in bind mode.
- The bind process is complete when the green LED on the receiver remains lit. The motor emits a Spektrum 4 tone cycle, confirmation of battery cell count tones and a rising confirmation tone.
SLT
- Begin with no battery connected.
- Throttle should be at neutral to set fail safe.
- Connect a battery to the receiver and immediately press and release the bind button on the receiver three times rapidly (within 1.5 seconds of powering ON).
- The red and green LED flashes, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.
- Put your transmitter in bind mode.
- The bind process is complete when the green LED on the receiver remains lit. The motor emits a Spektrum 4 tone cycle, confirmation of battery cell count tones and a rising confirmation tone.
ESC and Transmitter Calibration
When using a new ESC it is important to calibrate it so the ESC matches the
throttle range on your transmitter. If you install a new radio system, or make
changes to your throttle/brake values in your transmitter, you must redo the
ESC Calibration Process. Failure to calibrate the ESC to your radio system
will result in the ESC not working correctly. Set the Fail Safe on your radio
to a neutral position to ensure the motor stops in the event of a signal loss.
-
Power ON your transmitter, and begin with throttle values at 100% for dual rates and travel, and at neutral for trim and sub-trim. Verify there are no ABS braking functions activated before proceeding with calibration.
For transmitters without an LCD, turn the D/R knob to the max setting, and center the throttle trim. -
Connect a battery to the ESC.
-
Press and hold the programming button on the switch case, power on the ESC. The red LED on the ESC will start to flash and the motor will beep, release the programming button (The ESC will enter the programming mode if the programming button is not released within 3 seconds).
-
With the throttle trigger and trim in the neutral position, press and release the programming button. The Red LED will flash once and the motor will emit one tone.
-
Pull the throttle trigger to full throttle, and press and release the programming button. The Red LED will flash twice and the motor will emit two tones.
-
Push the throttle trigger to full reverse, and press and release the programming button. The Red LED will flash three times and the motor will emit three tones.
-
Power OFF the system with the ON/OFF switch.
-
Power ON the system with the ON/OFF switch. The system is ready for operation
Tip: Beeps from the motor may be quiet and difficult to hear, use the LED status to help verify settings.
Operation
- Power on the transmitter.
- Power on the receiver.
- The green LED on the receiver will be illuminated when it is connected to your transmitter.
- Disconnect your battery from the ESC/Receiver after operation.
Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the 2-in-1 will
drive the throttle channel to the neutral (throttle off) position. If the
2-in-1 is powered on prior to turning on the transmitter, it will enter fail
safe mode, leaving throttle off. When the transmitter is turned on, normal
control will resume.
