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, how-ever, 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.

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.
• 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.
• 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.

• Failsafe: Hold the steering wheel and throttle trigger in the desired failsafe positions during binding
  *SPMSR315 receivers included with the SLT3 transmitter include SLT and DSMR compatibility. If you have an SR315 receiver that was purchased by itself, you may need to install a firmware update to make your SR315 SLT compatible.

RECEIVER ANTENNA
The SR315 receivers feature a coaxial antenna design for easy installation in almost any model. Think of the last 1 inch (32mm) on the tip of the antenna as the active portion of the antenna, the coaxial portion leading up to it is just an extension. Install the antenna so the active portion is positioned as high as possible in the vehicle, and not “in the shadow” of any carbon fiber or metal. The case of the receiver can accept an antenna tube directly, making optimal antenna placement easy (antenna tube not included).

BINDING
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter.

1.  Press and hold the bind button.
2.  Power ON the receiver. The orange LED will begin to flash.
3.  Set the trims and control positions at the desired failsafe settings.
4.  Power ON the SLT3 transmitter.
5.  When the transmitter’s orange LED remains lit, it is connected to SR315 receiver.
6. You must rebind when:
7. Different failsafe positions are desired (e.g., when throttle or steering reversing has changed).
8. Binding the receiver to a different transmitter.

SERVO TRAVEL

The servo travel on the Steering and Throttle channels can be adjusted through a special programming mode in the transmitter.

1.  Begin with the transmitter binding process to the receiver complete. Power ON the receiver.
2.  Hold full right and full brake while powering the transmitter ON to put the transmitter into programming mode. The LED on the transmitter will flash 4 times to indicate it is in programming mode.
3.  Turn and hold the wheel full left to set the travel limit for that direction, Press the A button to increase travel, press the B button to reduce travel. The LED will flash once with every change. Return the wheel to center to set the travel value.
4.  Turn the wheel to the right and repeat the process to set the steering travel to the right.
5.  For electric vehicles, power the Transmitter OFF to save the settings. Calibrate your ESC to the default throttle travel.
6.  For fuel-powered vehicles, set the throttle travel without the engine running; After setting steering travel, you can set throttle travel with the same process. Pull and hold full throttle, adjust travel with the A and B buttons, return to center to set the value.
7.  Push full brake, adjust travel with the A and B buttons, return to center
8.  Power the transmitter OFF to save the values.

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.
• 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.

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.

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.
   Tip: To increase the ride height and ground clearance of your vehicle, install the included shock spacers.

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.

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.

SPEKTRUM FIRMA100A 2–3S BRUSHLESS SMART ESC (SPMXSE1100)
ESC CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

1.  Begin with the transmitter and receiver binding complete.

2.  Set your transmitter’s throttle channel to 100% travel and trim to neutral.

3.  Turn on your transmitter and connect a battery to the ESC but don’t power it on.

4.  Press and hold the Set button while turning on the ESC. When the red LED begins to flash, release the Set button. The ESC will enter programming mode if the button is pressed for more than three seconds.
   TIP: The red LED should be flashing when the ESC enters calibration mode. If the green LED is flashing the ESC is in programming mode.

5.  Leave the throttle trigger at the neutral position, then press and release the Set button. The red LED will stop flashing, the green LED will flash one time and the motor will make a tone to indicate the neutral position has been accepted.

6.  Hold the throttle trigger at the full throttle position then press and release the Set button. The green LED will flash twice and the motor will make two tones to indicate the full throttle position has been accepted.

7.  Hold the throttle trigger at the full brake position then press and release the Set button. The green LED will flash three times and the motor will make three tones to indicate the full brake position has been accepted. The motor will operate normally after calibration is completed.

DESCRIPTIONS

Battery Type
This setting allows you to change the battery chemistry. Changing this setting only changes the cut off voltage. Selecting LiPo will prevent over-discharge of your LiPo battery. Selecting NiMh will remove LVC and allow the battery to be drained much further. This setting is critical when using a LiPo battery with NiMh selected. This can cause serious damage to a LiPo battery and or cause a fire. Only use LiPo batteries in LiPo mode.
Start Mode
Sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. Level 1 gives a very soft initial acceleration and Level 4 gives a stronger initial acceleration.
Punch
Select from start mode Level 1 (Soft) to Level 9 (Very aggressive). If you choose Levels 7–9, use a high-quality battery pack with powerful discharge ability. Without a high quality battery pack, the modes will not give a bursting start effect. If the motor does not run smoothly (i.e., trembling), choose a better battery or increase the gear rate.
Max Brake Force
Adjust the amount of maximum brake force that is applied to the motor. This force determines the resistance of movement when the brakes are fully applied. Setting this value will help the vehicle slow down. If the setting is too high, the tires may lock up, causing the vehicle to spin out of control. If the setting is too low, the car will take a long time to slow.
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 to a complete stop, release brake, then apply the brake again. While braking or in reverse, engaging the throttle will result in the vehicle immediately accelerating forward.

Motor Rotation
Adjusting motor rotation in the ESC allows the motor to operate clockwise and anti-clockwise. This setting allows quick installation of the motor and ESC without having to swap motor wires to achieve forward drive. If your car is moving backward when the forward throttle is applied, switch this setting to achieve the required results.

BEC Voltage
Adjusts the voltage that is delivered to the receiver. The BEC (battery eliminator circuit) allows for a single battery to power both the motor and radio gear. The voltage output can be adjusted to accommodate components that utilize 6.0–7.4 volts.
Timing
ESC motor timing is adjusted using the ESC programmer or manual adjustment using the transmitter. Timing is a setting that determines many factors, including efficiency, torque, RPM, and temperature. Increasing the timing generally means you are adding RPM, Punch Acceleration, and Current while adding heat, reducing torque, and lowering efficiency. Lowering the timing generally means higher efficiency, less heat, and additional torque while lowering RPM and punch acceleration.
Low Voltage Cutoff
This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC continuously monitors the battery 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. Example: for a 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 x 2=5.2).
Neutral Range
Adjust this setting when changing the transmitter or the ESC. This setting is programmed in the ESC and registers the default neutral of the signal coming from the transmitter. If the car is moving forward or does not respond quickly to transmitter throttle change, adjust this setting. See your ESC manual for detailed instructions on how to set the neutral position.

LED Indicator LED Code

ESC turned ON, LED indicator is OFF| Throttle trigger is in the neutral zone
Red LED illuminated| ESC is operating in forward, reverse or brake
Red and Green LED illuminated| ESC is at full throttle, full brake, or full reverese
LED flashes red with short single pulses| LVC protection activated
LED flashes green with short single pulses| The ESC is in thermal shutoff mode
LED flashes green with three short pulses repeating| The ESC has exceeded the continuous current limit
LED flashes green with four short pulses repeating| The ESC has failed the self test
LED flashes green with five short pulses repeating| Capacitor temp has been exceeded

ESC PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

Programming is accomplished using the SET button on the ON/OFF switch.

1.  Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
2.  Power ON the ESC using the ESC switch.
3.  Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds until the green LED flashes, then release the SET button.
4.  Press the SET button once until the green LED blinks once in sequence, indicating programmable value 1 is currently selected. Tip: Pressing the setup button once more moves to programmable value 2, etc. until the desired programmable value is reached. The system continues in a ‘loop’.
5.  When at the desired menu item, hold the SET button for 3 seconds until the red LED blinks. Tip: The RED flashing sequence indicates the actual setting; for example one flash indicates value 1 is selected, two flashes indicates value 2, etc.
6.  Press the setup button in sequence to select the desired programmable value. The system continues in a “loop.”
7.  Save the setting by holding the SET button for 3 seconds. The motor beeps once.
8.  Power OFF the ESC then immediately power it ON. The setting change is stored. Tip: Only one setting can be stored/saved at a time.

SPEKTRUM 3652 4-POLE 6500KV BRUSHLESS MOTOR (SPMXSM2800)

PRECAUTIONS

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

GEARING
The vehicle is equipped with optimal gearing for 2S batteries. When using 3S batteries, Use alternate gearing to optimize speed, power and efficiency. Installing a pinion gear with fewer teeth or a spur gear with more teeth will increase torque and reduce top speed. Likewise, a pinion gear with more teeth or a spur gear with fewer teeth will reduce torque and increase top speed. Take care when installing larger pinion gears as this can “overgear” the vehicle, resulting in an overheated 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 correct temperature range. If the motor is too hot, switch to a lower pinion gear and/or higher spur gear combination.

CHANGING THE PINION GEAR/GEAR RATIO

1.  Remove the screws holding the gear cover in place.
2.  Loosen the set screw and remove the installed pinion gear.
3.  Loosen the motor screws and slide the motor back.
4.  Place the new pinion on the end of the motor shaft so the set screw is located over the flat on the shaft.
5.  Position it so the teeth line up with the spur gear and secure the pinion by tightening the set screw.
6.  Set the gear mesh.

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 of 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 while tightening the motor screws.
4.  Remove the paper. Check the mesh at 3–5 different locations around the spur gear for a small amount of movement.
5.  Install gear cover.
