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.

SR315 RECEIVER

Specifications

Type : Dual Protocol 3 Ch Receiver (SLT/DSMR)
Dimensions ( LxWxH ): 32.5 x 21.5 x 12.4mm
Antenna Length : 90mm
Channels : 3
Weight : 6g
Band: 2.4GHz
Voltage Range : 3.5–9.6V
Bind Type : Bind Button
Failsafe: Hold the steering wheel and throttle trigger in the desired failsafe positions during binding.

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).

WARNING : Do not kink, cut or damage the antenna wire. The antenna is made of a coaxial wire; if the outer sheath becomes damaged, the receiver will not work properly. If the antenna is damaged in any way, replace the antenna before attempting to use the receiver.

BINDING THE RECEIVER

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. In the event of a loss of signal the receiver will default the servo outputs to the failsafe position. The failsafe positions are set during binding; Leave the throttle and steering at the neutral positions during binding.

1. Press and hold the bind button, and Power ON the receiver; the orange LED will begin to flash.
2. Set the trims and control positions at the desired failsafe settings, press and hold the bind button, and power ON the DX3 Smart transmitter.
3. When the orange LED on the DX3 Smart transmitter remains lit, it is connected to SR315 receiver.
   

You must rebind when:

• Different failsafe positions are desired e.g., when throttle or steering reversing has been changed.
• Binding the receiver to a different transmitter.

POWERING ON THE VEHICLE

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

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

4. Perform a Control Direction Test.

CONTROL DIRECTION TEST

STEERING

1. Move the steering wheel Left and Right and observe the direction the front wheels move.
2. If the wheels move the opposite direction, reverse the STR channel.

Place the vehicle on a stand supporting the chassis so the wheels are off the ground during the steering and throttle tests. Verify all the controls work correctly before turning it on with the wheels on the ground.

THROTTLE

1. Pull the Throttle trigger to move the vehicle forward.
   2. If the vehicle moves backward, reverse the THR channel.

ADJUSTING STEERING AND THROTTLE TRIMS

STEERING TRIM
The vehicle should maintain a straight line without any steering wheel input. If not, adjust the STR Trim knob so the wheels maintain a straight line without having to turn the steering wheel.

THROTTLE TRIM
Trim the vehicle with the wheels off the ground. If the wheels rotate after the vehicle is powered ON, adjust the TH Trim knob until they stop.

SPEKTRUM™ FIRMA™ SMART 130A BRUSHLESS ESC (SPMXSE1130)

SPECIFICATIONS

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 input 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.

NOTICE : Always disconnect the battery from the ESC after 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.

ESC CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

Complete the transmitter/receiver binding procedure prior to calibrating the ESC.

1. Set the transmitter throttle channel to 100% travel and center the throttle trim.

2. Connect a battery to the ESC battery lead.

3. Power on the transmitter.

4. Press and hold the SET button while turning on the ESC. Release the SET button when the red LED begins to flash, indicating the ESC is in calibration mode. The ESC will enter programming mode if the button is held 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 has entered programming mode. Power off the ESC and repeat step 4, releasing the SET button when the red LED begins to flash.

5. With the transmitter throttle trigger at the neutral position, press and release the ESC 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. While holding the throttle trigger at the full throttle position, press and release the ESC 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. While holding the throttle trigger at the full brake position, 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

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 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.

2. Drag Brake Force
   Adjusts the amount of brake automatically applied when the throttle is returned to the neutral position. This simulates the engine braking effect of a full-scale vehicle, allowing improved turn-in and your vehicle’s general response to controls.

3. 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. 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 (2.6×2=5.2).

4. Start Mode (Punch)
   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.

5. 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.

6. Max Reverse Force
   This parameter adjusts the maximum power when travelling in reverse.

7. Initial Brake Force (minimum brake)
   Adjusts the minimum amount of braking power when the brakes engage. The default value is equal to the drag brake value. A high value can lock the wheels when the brake is used.

8. Neutral Range
   Adjusts the throttle sensitivity around the neutral point. A higher value results in the throttle having to be moved more for the vehicle to move forward, backward or brake.

9. Timing
   Adjusts the motor drive current timing. More timing gives more performance, but can lower efficiency and cause damage to the motor and/or ESC by overload or overheating.
   NOTICE : Always ensure the motor timing is set correctly. Failure to set the motor timing correctly can result in damage to the motor and ESC. Refer to the manufacturer instructions for recommended timing settings.

10. Motor Rotation
    Allows you to make this change in the ESC so no wires need to be changed between the ESC and the motor.

11. Li-Po Cells
    Allows the ESC to automatically detect or manually set the number of cells in your Li-Po battery back.

SPEKTRUM™ FIRMA™ 2800KV 4-POLE BRUSHLESS MOTOR

PRECAUTIONS

• Never touch moving parts.
• Never disassemble while the batteries are installed.
• Always let parts cool before touching.
• Rated for up to 4S batteries.

GEARING

Installing a pinion gear with fewer teeth will provide greater torque but will reduce top speed. Likewise, a pinion gear with more 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

1. Remove the screw holding the gear cover in place.
2. From the slot in the top of the gear box cover, loosen the pinion gear set screw and remove the pinion gear.
3. Remove the motor mounting screws to remove the motor, or adjust the motor to the location for the corresponding pinion gear.
4. Install the new pinion gear on your motor. Place the pinion gear on the end of the motor shaft so that it lines up flush with the spur gear and the set screw is located over the flat on the shaft.
5. Tighten the pinion gear on the motor shaft and reinstall the upper gear cover.

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).
