SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

As the user of this product, you are solely responsible for operating in a manner that does not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product or property of others. This model is controlled by a radio signal subject to interference from many sources outside your control. This interference can cause momentary loss of control, so it is advisable to always keep a safe distance in all directions around your model as this margin will help avoid collisions or injury.

• Never operate your model with low transmitter batteries.
• Always operate your model in open spaces away from full-size vehicles, traffic, and people.
• Never operate the model in the street or in populated areas for any reason.
• Carefully follow the directions and warnings for this and any optional support equipment (chargers, rechargeable battery packs, etc.) you use.
• Keep all chemicals, small parts, and anything electrical out of the reach of children.
• Never lick or place any portion of the model in your mouth as it could cause serious injury or even death.
• Exercise caution when using tools and sharp instruments.
• Take care during maintenance as some parts may have sharp edges.
• Immediately after using your model, do NOT touch equipment such as the motor, electronic speed control, and battery, because they generate high temperatures. You may burn yourself seriously touching them.
• Do not put fingers or any objects inside rotating and moving parts, as this may cause damage or serious injury.
• Always turn on your transmitter before you turn on the receiver in the car. Always turn off the receiver before turning your transmitter off.
• Keep the wheels of the model off the ground when checking the operation of the radio equipment.

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 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.

SR6100AT AVC TECHNOLOGY TELEMETRY RECEIVER
AUX CHANNELS

The Aux channels can operate as additional servo channels, or as a power supply for a personal transponder.
If AVC is active, only 4 channels; Steering, Throttle, AUX3, and AUX4 are operational.
The reaming Aux channels can be used to power a personal transponder or lights.
If AVC is disabled (see DISABLING AVC TECHNOLOGY STABILITY ASSIST FUNCTION), all 6 channels including the Aux channels can operate as servo channels.

BINDING AND CALIBRATING THE RECEIVER
Binding is the process of linking the SR6100AT receiver to your Spektrum transmitter. The AVC features on the receiver can be enabled or disabled during the binding process.
IMPORTANT: You must calibrate the SR6100AT receiver each time it is placed in bind mode, regardless of AVC being enabled or disabled.
Upon initial set up after the first bind, the model must be configured for servo direction, trim and travel. Then the receiver must be rebound and calibrated to those settings for  proper operation. Center the steering trim and throttle trim on the transmitter before beginning.

1. Press and hold the bind button on the receiver.

2. Power on the receiver. The orange LED flashes, indicating the receiver is in bind mode. Release the bind button after the orange LED illuminates.

3. Put your transmitter in bind mode. The binding process is complete when the orange LED on the receiver remains lit. The receiver is now bound to the transmitter but must be calibrated before it will operate.

4. Pull the transmitter trigger to full throttle, pause, then return the trigger to center.
   

5. Push the transmitter trigger to full brake, pause, then return the trigger to center.

6. Turn the transmitter steering wheel to the full right, pause, then return the wheel to the center.

7. Turn the transmitter steering wheel to the full left, pause, then return the steering wheel to the center. The orange LED flashes to confirm the settings have been accepted.

8. Turn off the vehicle to complete the binding and calibration process.

CAUTION: When the binding process is complete, the throttle and steering channels are active. Keep hands and loose objects away from all spinning parts on the vehicle.

IMPORTANT: You must rebind the transmitter and receiver if you:

• Change the servo reversing after binding
• Change the travel after binding
• Change the receiver mounting orientation

DISABLING AVC ® TECHNOLOGY STABILITY ASSIST
If you participate in organized racing, you may be required to turn AVC technology off. To turn off AVC technology:

1. Connect power to the receiver and quickly press and release the bind button three times (within 1.5 seconds).
2. Press and hold the bind button to put the receiver in bind mode. release the button when the LED starts to flash rapidly, indicating it is in bind mode.

When the AVC system has been disabled, the LED on the receiver will show three flashes upon power up, and then remain lit. The receiver is bound and operating normally when the LED remains illuminated.

TIP: If the AVC feature in the receiver is active and the AVC menu in the transmitter is Inhibited, AVC functions will default to the AUX 1 and AUX 2 operation, and in this scenario, AVC will not work correctly.

FAILSAFE
In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive the throttle channel to the neutral position. If the receiver is powered on prior to turning on the transmitter, the receiver will enter the failsafe mode, driving the throttle channel to the neutral position. When the transmitter is turned on, normal control is resumed.

IMPORTANT: Failsafe activates only in the event that a signal is lost from the transmitter. Failsafe will NOT activate in the event that receiver battery power decreases below the recommended minimums or power to the receiver is lost.

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.

BEFORE RUNNING THE 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.
   TIP: To increase the ride height and ground clearance of your vehicle, screw down the shock collars to compress the springs.

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/subtree so that the vehicle drives straight with no input to the steering.

4. Perform a Control Direction Test.

AVC®SENSITIVITY
The ST RATE dial adjusts the sensitivity, or stability, value in the receiver. If you increase the sensitivity, the AVC ® system becomes more sensitive to the vehicle drifting left or right. You would use maximum sensitivity during high-speed driving or drag racing when you want the vehicle to stay in a straight line.

Turn the ST RATE knob counterclockwise to reduce the sensitivity. Turn the ST RATE knob clockwise to increase the sensitivity.
IMPORTANT: The ST RATE knob will only adjust the sensitivity when the transmitter is bound to a DSMR® receiver. When the transmitter is bound to a DSM ®DSM2® or DSM Marine receiver, the ST RATE knob controls the steering dual rate.

POWERING ON THE VEHICLE

1. Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM dials on the transmitter.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Connect the fully charged battery packs to the ESC.
4. Power on the ESC.

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

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 over 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.

CHANGING THE TRAVEL ADJUST SETTINGS

1. Hold the trigger in the full brake position and turn the steering wheel to Full Right while powering on the transmitter. The LED flashes blue, indicating the programming mode is active.
2. Throttle End Point: Continue holding full throttle. Turn the BRAKE RATE ADJUST knob to adjust the full-throttle endpoint.
3. Brake End Point: Hold the trigger in the full brake position. Turn the BRAKE RATE ADJUST knob to adjust the full brake endpoint. Return the trigger to the center position.
4. Left Steering End Point: Hold the steering wheel in the full left position. Turn the AVC ST RATE knob to adjust the left endpoint.
5. Right Steering End Point: Hold the steering wheel in the full right position. Turn the AVC STRATE knob to adjust the right endpoint. Return the steering wheel to the center position.
6. Power off the transmitter to save the travel and adjust settings. The minimum Travel is 75%, and the Maximum travel is 150%.

IMPORTANT: If the travel is changed on the DX3, you must rebind and calibrate the receiver.

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).

POWERING OFF THE VEHICLE

1. Power off the ESC.
2. Power off the transmitter.
3. Remove and charge the batteries.

SPEKTRUM FIRMA 750KV 4-POLE BRUSHLESS MOTOR

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 our 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 “overhear” 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 Super Baja Rey 2.0 uses a motor mount with pre-set gearing from 16-24T.

1. Remove the lower motor mount chassis plate, the motor, and the motor mount.
2. Loosen the set screw and remove the installed pinion gear.
3. Install the motor screws corresponding to the number of teeth on the pinion gear.
4. Place the new pinion gear on the end of the motor shaft, so the setscrew is located over the flat of the shaft.
5. Position the pinion gear so that the teeth line up with the spur gear and secure the pinion gear by tightening the set screw.
6. Check the gear mesh to ensure that everything spins properly.

ESC LED STATUS

• No ESC LEDs will glow when there is no throttle input from the transmitter.
• The red ESC LED glows when there is any throttle input from the transmitter.

AUDIBLE WARNING TONES

1. Input Voltage: The ESC checks the in put voltage when it is powered ON. If a voltage problem is detected, the ESC continuously sounds 2 beeps with a 1 second pause (xx-xx-xx). Power OFF the ESC and ensure the connections are secure and that the battery power is not too low for safe operation.
2. Radio Connection : The ESC checks radio signal input when it is powered ON. If a problem is detected, the ESC continuously sounds 1 beep with a 2 second pause (x–x–x). Power OFF the ESC and ensure the radio system is operating correctly.

ESC CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
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 throttle trim is neutral and the throttle travel range is at 100%. Disable any special functions such as ABS, etc.

3. Press the SET button while powering ON the ESC. Release the button as soon as the red LED starts to flash.

4. Calibrate the throttle points by pressing the SET button once after each step.
   – Neutral (1 flash)—leave the throttle at rest, untouched
   – Full throttle (2 flashes)—pull the throttle fully back
   – Full brake/reverse (3 flashes)—push the throttle fully forward

5. The motor will run 3 seconds after the last step is completed.

TIP: If the motor turns in the wrong direction, reverse the connection of any 2 outside motor wires. The center wire must remain in the center and cannot be moved to another motor tab.

DESCRIPTIONS

1. Running Mode
   – Forward Only with Brake Intended for competition use, this mode allows only forward and brake controls.
   – Forward/Reverse with Brake
   This mode is the basic all-around mode, allowing forward, reverse and brake controls. To engage reverse while moving forward, apply the brake until the vehicle has come o a complete stop, release the brake, then apply the brake again. While braking or in reverse, engaging the throttle will result in the vehicle immediately accelerating forward.

2. Motor Rotation
   Allows you to electronically set the rotation of the motor without changing any of the wires from the motor to the ESC.

3. Li-Po Cells
   The default setting is Auto Calc, which will automatically select the detected number of cells. Select values 2–5 to manually select a cell count from 3–8 cells.

4. Low Voltage Cutoff
   This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC continuously monitors the battery’s voltage. If the voltage falls below the voltage threshold for 2 seconds, the output power shuts off and the red LED flashes twice repeatedly. The cutoff threshold calculation is based on individual Li- Po cell voltage. For Ni-MH batteries, if the voltage battery pack is higher than 9.0V, it will be treated as a 3-cell Li-Po battery pack; if it is lower than 9.0V, it will be treated as a 2-cell Li-Po battery pack. For example: for an 8.0V Ni-MH battery pack used with a 2.6V/cell threshold, it will be treated as a 2-cell Li-Po battery pack and the low-voltage cut-off threshold will be 5.2V (2.6×2=5.2).

5. Bec Voltage
   Select either 6 or 8.4 V to run the receiver and servos.

6. Max Brake Force
   Adjusts the maximum braking force. A higher value provides stronger braking, but can also cause the wheels to lock, resulting in loss of control of the car.

7. Max Reverse Force
   This parameter adjusts the maximum power when traveling in reverse. 8. Punch Setting Sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. Level 1 gives a very soft initial acceleration and level 5 gives a stronger initial acceleration. 9. Timing Allows for timing value selection according to your motor. Generally, a higher timing value brings out higher power output, but the efficiency of the system will be slightly lower with possible increases in motor and ESC running temperatures.

By submitting the item for service you are agreeing to payment of the service without notification. Service estimates are available upon request. You must include this request with your item submitted for service. Non-warranty service estimates will be billed a minimum of ½ hour of labor. In addition you will be billed for return freight.
