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.

ESC CALIBRATION

Ensure proper ESC function by calibrating the ESC to your transmitter inputs.

1. Power OFF the ESC.

2. Ensure your transmitter is powered ON, the throttle is not reversed, the TR TRIM is neutral and the throttle travel range is at 100%.
   Disable any special functions such as ABS, etc.

3. Keep the throttle at neutral and power ON the ESC. The ESC automatically calibrates the throttle range after 3 seconds.

4. One long beep will sound when the ESC is ready to run.

BINDING

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. The STX2® transmitter and SPMSRX200 receiver are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below:

1. Insert the Bind Plug in the BIND port of the ESC.
2. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
3. Power on the ESC. The red receiver LED flashes, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.
4. Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM dials on the transmitter.
5. Turn the Steering Wheel to Full Right. Power ON the transmitter while holding the Steering Wheel to the Right.
6. Release the Steering Wheel when the receiver LED goes solid.
7. Remove the Bind Plug and store it in a convenient place.
8. Power OFF the ESC to save the settings.
9. Power OFF the transmitter.

You must rebind when:

• When you want different failsafe positions (e.g. when throttle or steering reverse has been changed).
• Binding the receiver to a different transmitter.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to bind the transmitter and receiver if there are other compatible transmitters in bind mode within 400 feet. Doing so may result in unexpected binding.

DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

• Maintain sight of the vehicle at all times.

• Routinely inspect the vehicle for loose wheel hardware.

• Routinely inspect the steering assembly for any loose hardware. Driving the vehicle off-road can cause fasteners to loosen over time.

• Do not drive the vehicle in tall grass. Doing so can damage the vehicle or electronics.

• Stop driving the vehicle when you notice a lack of power. Driving the vehicle when the battery is discharged can cause the receiver to power off. If the receiver loses power, you will lose control of the vehicle. Damage due to an over-discharged Li-Po battery is not covered under warranty.
  CAUTION: Do not discharge a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when batteries are charged.

• Do not apply forward or reverse throttle if the vehicle is stuck.
  Applying throttle in this instance can damage the motor or ESC.

• After driving the vehicle, allow the electronics to cool before driving the vehicle again.

IMPORTANT: Keep wires away from all moving parts.

POWERING ON THE VEHICLE

1. Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM dials on the transmitter.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Install a fully charged battery pack per the Installing the Battery section.
4. Power on the ESC.

IMPORTANT: The vehicle MUST remain on a flat, level surface and motionless for at least 5 seconds.

BEFORE RUNNING YOUR VEHICLE

1. Check for free suspension movement. All suspension arms and steering components should move freely. Any binds will cause the vehicle to handle poorly.
2. Charge a battery pack. Always charge the battery pack as per the battery and/or charger manufacturers’ instructions.
3. Set the transmitter steering trim. Follow the instructions to set the steering trim/subtrim so that the vehicle drives straight with no input to the steering.
4. Perform a Control Direction Test.

RUN TIME

The largest factor in run time is the capacity of the battery pack. A larger mAh rating increases the amount of run time experienced.

The condition of a battery pack is also an important factor in both run time and speed.
The battery connectors may become hot during driving. Batteries will lose performance and capacity over time.

Driving the vehicle from a stop to full speed repeatedly will damage the batteries and electronics over time. Sudden acceleration will also lead to shorter run times.

TO IMPROVE RUN TIMES

• Keep your vehicle clean and well maintained.
• Allow more airflow to the ESC and motor.
• Change the gearing to a lower ratio. A lower ratio decreases the operating temperature of the electronics. Use a smaller pinion gear or larger spur gear to lower the gear ratio.
• Use a battery pack with a higher mAh rating.
• Use the optimum charger to charge battery packs (Visit your local hobby dealer for more information).

PERFORMING A CONTROL DIRECTION TEST

Perform a control test with the vehicle wheels off the ground. If the wheels rotate after the vehicle is powered ON, adjust the TH Trim knob until they stop. To make the wheels move forward, pull the trigger. To reverse them, wait for the wheels to stop, then push the trigger.
When moving forward, the wheels should maintain a straight line without any steering wheel input. If not, adjust the ST Trim knob, so the wheels maintain a straight line without having to turn the steering wheel.

   One long beep will sound when the ESC is ready to run.

CONNECTING THE ESC

1. Connect the RED (+) ESC wire to the RED (+) motor wire.
2. Connect the BLACK (–) ESC wire to the BLACK (–) motor wire.

NOTICE: Always disconnect the battery from the ESC when you have finished operating your vehicle. The ESC’s switch only controls power to the receiver and servos.
The ESC will continue to draw current when connected to the battery, resulting in possible damage to the battery through over discharge.

PROGRAMMING

The ESC comes with two jumpers pre-installed in the MODE: F/B (forward/brake) and BATT: Li-Po configurations.

To change the mode to F/B/R (forward/brake/reverse) or F/R (forward/reverse) or change the battery type to Ni-MH.

1. Power OFF the ESC.
2. Disconnect the jumper from the default port and connect it to the desired port.
3. Power ON the ESC.

If the jumpers are lost or not installed, the ESC will default to MODE: F/B/R and BATT: Li-Po.

WARNING: Do not connect bind plugs or receiver servo leads into the ESC programming port. Doing so may damge the ESC and/or components.

VEHICLE LEDs

Plug the Rock Lights on the vehicle into the AUX CH on the receiver.

DYNAMITE® 540 BRUSHED MOTOR 35T (DYNS1216)

PRECAUTIONS

• Never touch moving parts.
• Never disassemble while the batteries are installed.
• Always let parts cool before touching.

GEARING

Your vehicle has been equipped with the optimal gearing for the stock platform. It offers an ideal balance between speed, power and efficiency. Should you decide to customize your vehicle with optional batteries or motors, it may be necessary for you to change the pinion or spur gear.

Installing a pinion gear with fewer teeth or a spur gear with more teeth will provide greater torque but will reduce top speed. Likewise, a pinion gear with more teeth or a spur gear with fewer teeth will reduce torque and increase top speed. Care should be taken when installing larger pinion gears as this can “overgear” the vehicle, resulting in overheating of the motor and ESC. When testing different gearing options, pay close attention to the temperature of the motor and speed control to ensure you are operating within the temperature range of the components. The motor or ESC should never be so hot that it cannot be touched. If temperatures are too hot, a different gearing combination with a lower pinion gear and/or higher spur gear is suggested.

CHANGING THE PINION GEAR/GEAR RATIO

The following instructions are for replacing a worn pinion gear. If you are changing the pinion gear size please refer to “Setting the Gear Mesh.”

1. Loosen the pinion gear set screw to remove the installed pinion gear.
2. Loosen the motor screws and slide the motor back.
3. Place the new pinion on the end of the motor shaft so the set screw is located over the flat area on the shaft.
4. Position the teeth on the pinion gear so they line up with the spur gear and secure the pinion gear onto the motor shaft by tightening the set screw.

SETTING THE GEAR MESH

The gear mesh has already been set at the factory. Setting it is only necessary when changing motors or gears.

Proper gear mesh (how gear teeth meet) is important to the performance of the vehicle. When the gear mesh is too loose, the spur gear could be damaged by the pinion gear on the motor.
If the mesh is too tight, speed could be limited and the motor and ESC will overheat.

1. Loosen the motor screws and slide the motor back.
2. Put a small piece of paper between the pinion and spur gears.
3. Push the gears together with moderate pressure and hold in place while tightening the motor screws.
4. Remove the paper. Check the mesh at 3–5 different locations around the spur gear for minimal movement.
