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), or contaminated or polluted water. Saltwater 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 a 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.

WET CONDITIONS MAINTENANCE

• Drain any water that has been 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.

CHARGING WARNINGS

CAUTION:
All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a fire, personal injury, and/or property damage.

• NEVER LEAVE CHARGING BATTERIES UNATTENDED.
• NEVER CHARGE BATTERIES OVERNIGHT.
• By handling, charging, or using the included Li-Po battery, you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries.
• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge, or discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result in fire.
• Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results.

2 1 BRUSHED ESC AND SLT RECEIVER

SETUP
Throttle calibration should not be needed out of the box. However, to make the throttle range of different transmitters, the calibration of the ESC is necessary:

• Mount the ESC in an area that is well-ventilated and isolated from vibration and shock.
• Connect the ESC motor wires to the motor red-to-red and black-to-black.
• Before plugging the battery into the ESC, make sure your transmitter is on and the throttle trim is set to zero.
• Connect the battery to the ESC. The vehicle will be powered on when the battery is connected.
  • CAUTION: Keep all body parts and loose clothing away from any moving parts while the battery is connected to the ESC.
  • CAUTION: Always connect the ESC only to a proper power source that has the correct voltage and polarity. Incorrect voltages or reversed polarity will damage the ESC. Damage to the ESC caused by improper voltage or polarity is not covered under warranty.
• Test forward and reverse control using the transmitter.

BINDING
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. The transmitter and receiver are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below:

1. Unplug the servo from the 2-in-1 Spektrum servo lead.
2. Insert the bind plug into the 2-in-1 Spektrum servo lead.
3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
4. Power ON the ESC
5. Power ON the transmitter. The receiver’s red LED will turn solid when the bind is successful.
6. Remove the bind plug from the 2-in-1 Spektrum servo lead.
7. Plug the servo back into the 2-in-1 Spektrum servo lead.
8. Power OFF the ESC to save the settings.
