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.
• ever 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), 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.

TRANSMITTER LAYOUT

Use the diagram below to familiarize yourself with the different parts of your transmitter. The transmitter antenna is mounted internally and is located in the front portion of the transmitter. When you are driving your model, hold the transmitter so it is oriented as close to vertical as possible. Do not try to follow your model with the transmitter. This provides the best RF signal between the transmitter and the receiver. Do not cover the front of the transmitter during use as doing so can block the RF signal, resulting in loss of control.

INSTALL THE TRANSMITTER BATTERIES

1. Press the battery compartment latch and rotate the batter cover to open.
2. Install 4 AA alkaline batteries (or Ni-Cd or Ni-MH), verifying correct polarity.
3. Close the battery cover until it latches.

CAUTION: NEVER remove the transmitter batteries while the vehicle is powered ON. Loss of vehicle control, damage, or injury may occur.
CAUTION: If using rechargeable batteries, charge only rechargeable batteries. Charging non-rechargeable batteries may cause the batteries to burst, resulting in injury or property damage.

CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to state and local laws.

TEST THE CONTROLS

With the vehicle wheels off the ground, test the throttle and steering controls. Ensure the wheels spin in the proper direction and the front wheels turn in the proper direction with steering input. After checking for proper direction of controls, start driving slowly. If the vehicle does not go straight without steering input, adjust the steering trim dial on the transmitter until the vehicle holds a straight line with no steering input. Have FUN driving your vehicle!

AFTER DRIVING

When you are finished driving your vehicle:

1. Power off the vehicle.
2. Power off the transmitter.
3. Remove the vehicle battery and charge if necessary.

BINDING THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize a specific transmitter signal, thus preventing interference from other transmitters. The transmitter and receiver included with your vehicle are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to bind the transmitter and receiver if any other compatible transmitters are in bind mode within approximately 400 feet (120 meters). Doing so may result in unexpected binding to the wrong transmitter and loss of control of your vehicle.

Prior to starting the binding procedure, ensure the servos and motor are connected to the proper ports on the receiver and the transmitter has fresh batteries installed.

1. Power on the transmitter while pressing the BIND button. The transmitter LED will flash.
2. Power on the receiver. The receiver LED will flash rapidly.
3. When the LED glows solid, binding is complete. The receiver LED will glow solid when both the transmitter and receiver are powered on. If the receiver LED flashes rapidly or is not illuminated, the transmitter and receiver are not bound. Power off both the transmitter and receiver and repeat the binding procedure.
