WATER-RESISTANT VEHICLE WITH WATERPROOF ELECTRONICS

Your new Horizon Hobby vehicle has been designed and built with a combination of waterproof and water-resistant components to allow you to operate the product in many “wet conditions,” including puddles, creeks, wet grass, snow and even rain.
While the entire vehicle is highly water-resistant, it is not completely waterproof and your vehicle should NOT be treated like a submarine. The various electronic components used in the vehicle, such as the Electronic Speed Control (ESC), servo(s) and receiver are waterproof, however, most of the mechanical components are water-resistant and should not be submerged.
Metal parts, including the bearings, hinge pins, 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 vehicle and to keep the warranty intact, the procedures described in the “Wet Conditions Maintenance” section below 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 the vehicle in those conditions.
CAUTION: Failure to exercise caution while using this product and complying 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 vehicle.
• Not all batteries can be used in wet conditions. Consult the battery manufacturer before use. Caution should be taken when using Li-Po batteries in wet conditions.
• Most transmitters are not water-resistant. Consult your transmitter’s manual or the manufacturer before operation.
• Never operate your transmitter or vehicle where lightning may be present.
• Do not operate your vehicle 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.
• Even minimal water contact can reduce the life of your motor if it has not been certified as water-resistant or waterproof. If the motor becomes excessively wet, apply very light throttle until the water is mostly removed from the motor. Running a wet motor at high speeds may rapidly damage the motor.
• Driving in wet conditions can reduce the life of the motor. The additional resistance of operating in water causes excess strain. Alter the gear ratio by using a smaller pinion or larger spur gear. This will increase torque (and motor life) when running in mud, deeper puddles, or any wet conditions that will increase the load on the motor for an extended period of time.

WET CONDITIONS MAINTENANCE

• Drain any water that has collected in the tires by spinning them at high speed. With the body removed, place the vehicle upside down and pull full throttle for a few short bursts until the water has been removed.
  CAUTION: Always keep hands, fingers, tools and any loose or hanging objects away from rotating parts when performing the above drying technique.

• Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts. If you have an air compressor or a can of compressed air, blow out any water that may be inside the recessed connector housing.

• Remove the tires/wheels from the vehicle and gently rinse the mud and dirt off with a garden hose. Avoid rinsing the bearings and transmission.
  NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean your vehicle.

• Use an air compressor or a can of compressed air to dry the vehicle and help remove any water that may have gotten into small crevices or corners.

• Spray the bearings, drive train, fasteners and other metal parts with a water-displacing light oil. Do not spray the motor.

• Let the vehicle air dry before you store it. Water (and oil) may continue to drip for a few hours.

• Increase the frequency of disassembly, inspection and lubrication of the following:
  – Front and rear axle hub assembly bearings.
  – All transmission cases, gears and differentials.
  – Motor—clean with an aerosol motor cleaner and re-oil the bushings with lightweight motor oil.

5. Turn the steering wheel side to side and operate the throttle, both forward and reverse, checking for any erratic behavior.
6. If any erratic behavior is exhibited, DO NOT operate the vehicle. Call customer service for assistance.

USING THE TWO SPEED TRANSMISSION

The vehicle includes an installed two speed transmission, capable of changing speeds with the A/B switch on the transmitter.
To operate the two speed transmission:

1. Slow the vehicle to approximately 1 mph.
2. Toggle the A/B switch on the transmitter to change gears.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to change gears while the vehicle is either not moving or moving at a high rate of speed. Damage to the transmission gears or the transmission servo will result.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

Just like a full size car or truck your RC vehicle must undergo periodic maintenance in order to ensure peak performance. Preventative maintenance will also help avoid needless breakages which could result in costly repairs. Below are some suggestions to properly maintain your vehicle.

Replace any noticeable bent or broken parts| Check for wear on the ball joints in the steering and suspension links (replace if necessary)

Check driveshaft set screws and apply thread locking compound if
necessary| Inspect shock absorbers for smooth dampened operation

Check for any loose connections or frayed wiring| Check the wheel nuts for tightness

Ensure the wheel beads are still firmly bonded around the
entire circumference of the rim| Keep the chassis free of dirt and debris

Check for loose screws on the chassis, especially the knuckle, C-hub and axle lockout screws| Check the driveline for smooth, bind free operation

If applicable, check the slipper clutch for proper operation| Check the receiver antenna for damage

Check the steering operation for any binding| Inspect the spur and pinion gears for damage
| Replace the transmitter batteries when indicated by
the transmitter, as described in the Transmitter Functions section

Blacked out cells with white lettering represent the default settings.

1. Running Mode: Select your running mode, Forward and Reverse without brake (F/R) is the preferred rock crawler mode. Select Forward Reverse and Brake (F/R/B) if you want to use reverse throttle input to control brakes.

2. Cutoff Voltage: Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) for Lipo Protection. This item is mainly for preventing LiPo packs from being overdischarged. If the LVC is enabled, the ESC will reduce the output to 50% and cut power 10 seconds later when the voltage goes below the cutoff threshold. The red LED will begin a repeating single flash when the ESC enters LVC. If the LVC is disabled, the ESC will not cut off the power when the voltage is low. We don’t recommend setting the LVC to “Disabled” when using a LiPo
   pack, Without LVC it is easy for a LiPo battery to be damaged due to over- discharge.
   • NIMH – For a NiMH pack, we recommend setting this item to “Disabled.”
   • Cutoff Voltage – The ESC will set the cutoff for the pack based on the voltage the battery is at when the battery is connected.

3. RPM / Throttle Matching: The motor RPM will change when the vehicle encounters obstacles or terrain changes (RPM is based on the loads on the vehicle). This setting manages how aggressively the ESC will change the RPM under load.
   When the throttle input remains unchanged, setting this item to “Low” provides the feeling of a brushed motor. Setting it to “High” provides a strong sense of speed-governing, making the vehicle maintain speed at a given throttle setting regardless of the resistance. The default setting is medium. This feature is only available in “Forward
   and Reverse (rock crawler)” mode.

4. Max. Forward Force: The power applied to the motor when the throttle trigger is at the full throttle position. You can reduce the value for better driving feel/control when you drive a crawler over difficult terrain.

5. Max. Reverse Force: The power applied to the motor when the throttle trigger is at the full reverse position. We recommend using a low value for most drivers.

6. Turbo Timing: This item is adjustable from 0 degree to 10 degrees, the value you select will initiate at full throttle. It’s usually activated on long straightaways and makes the motor unleash its maximum potential. Turbo timing adds a margin of power at full throttle.

7. Turbo Delay: When “Turbo Delay” is set to “Instant”, the Turbo Timing will be activated immediately when the throttle trigger is moved to the full throttle position. Turbo Delay values will delay the application of the selected Turbo Timing value.

8. Drag Brake Force: Braking power when the throttle is at the neutral position. Higher drag brake values are used to provide a stronger hold or hill brakes.
   IMPORTANT: Drag brakes will consume more power and heat will be increased, start with small values and use with caution. Improve ventilation to ESC if heat is excessive.

9. Drag Brake Rate: This feature manages how rapidly the ESC applies drag brakes. Choose the drag brake rate from level 1 (very soft) to level 9 (very aggressive); lower values ramp the brakes slower and prevent sudden stops or jerky stopping movements. In Auto mode, the ESC adjusts the Drag Brake Rate automatically based on the current speed and can be helpful to prevent the vehicle from flipping over or from sustaining drivetrain damage from harsh braking, but also provides a sensitive braking feel at low speeds;
   • The higher the current speed, the lower the drag brake rate.
   • The lower the current speed, the higher the drag brake rate.

10. Neutral Range: Adjust this parameter to your preference to account for deadband in the throttle response. If you notice inconsistent drag brakes, increase your Neutral Range value.

11. Start Mode/(Punch): Set the punch from level 1 (very soft) to level 9 (very aggressive). This feature is very useful for preventing tires from spinning. Punch levels 7 and above require high discharge capable batteries. If the car stutters or suddenly loses power when accelerating it may indicate the battery does not have adequate discharge capabilities for the application. Reduce the punch value, pinion gear size, or change to a higher C rated battery.

12. BEC Voltage: Option 1: 6.0V Appropriate for most standard servos. Not recommended for High Voltage (HV) servos.
    • Option 2: 7.4V Appropriate for high voltage servos. Do not use this option with standard servos; it’s possible a standard 5 – 6 Volt rated servo will be damaged at this voltage setting.

13. Motor Rotation: Change this setting to reverse the motor rotation. Do not change wiring order with this motor/ESC combo.
