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. Do not use 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

WD-40® solvent or any other 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.

OPERATION

• ALWAYS turn on your transmitter before you turn on the receiver in the vehicle. Always power off the receiver before turning your transmitter off.

• ALWAYS operate your vehicle in a wide open area. Operating the vehicle in a small space or indoors can cause overheating at low speeds. Operating at low speed increases heat in the electronic speed control (ESC). Overheating can damage the vehicle and failure may result.

WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED

1. Power off the Electronic Speed Control

(ESC).

2. Disconnect the battery.

3. Power off the transmitter.

4. Remove the battery from the vehicle.

5. Recharge the battery.

8

MOTOR CARE

• Seat the motor brushes by driving smoothly on a flat surface during use of the first battery charge. Failing to do so can greatly reduce motor peroformance and functional life.

• Prolong motor life by preventing overheating conditions.

Undue motor wear results from frequent turns, stops and

starts, pushing objects, driving in deep sand and tall grass, and driving continuously up hill.

• Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to prevent circuit damage, but cannot protect the motor from driving against heavy resistance.

MAINTENANCE

SETTING THE GEAR MESH

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

You must remove the vehicle’s gear cover (A) to make this adjustment.

Proper gear mesh (how the 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.

Set the gear mesh by following these simple steps:

1. Loosen the 2 motor screws ( B ).

2. Put a small piece of paper ( C ) between the pinion and spur gears.

3 Push the gears together while tightening the motor screws.

4. Rotate the gears to remove the paper. The gearing should move a small amount.

5. Reinstall the gear cover.

B

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL

(ESC)

Low voltage cutoff (LVC) protects the battery from overdischarge by activating when the battery reaches 1V per cell under load. The ESC will reset after approximately 10 seconds. The vehicle can then be driven slowly back to the driver for battery recharge.

Important: When the motor is disconnected or damaged, the beep may not be heard.

NOTICE: Continually driving to LVC may damage the battery.

SHOCK CLEANING

Oil-filled shocks will require regular maintenance due to the oil breaking down or getting dirty. This maintenance should be performed after about every 3 to 5 hours of use, depending on the conditions that the vehicle is used in.

• Remove the shock from the vehicle.

• Remove the cap from the shock body and dispose of fluid.

• Disassemble the shock. Clean thoroughly with DYN5505. Dry parts before assembly.

• Re-assemble the shock and refill the shock body with silicone fluid

(30 weight recommended).

• Slowly move the shaft and piston up and down to remove air bubbles.

• Move the piston to the midway point of the body and install the cap.

• Wipe off any overflowing fluid.

• When properly filled, the piston should rebound about

3/8 in (9.5mm) after being pushed in fully.

• Re-install the shock on the vehicle.

Ride Height Adjustment

Ride height is an adjustment that affects the way the vehicle jumps, turns and goes over bumps. Drop one end of the vehicle from approximately 6 inches (152 mm) in height onto a flat surface. When dropping the front of the vehicle, after the vehicle settles, make sure the front arms are equal and parallel to the flat surface. Do the same with the rear to make sure both arms are parallel with the flat surface.

Lowering the front ride height increases steering, but decreases traction. Lowering the rear ride height increases traction, but decreases steering.

BINDING

Failsafe

In the unlikely event the radio connection is lost during use, the receiver will reduce the throttle to idle. The steering channel holds the last input command. If you power on the receiver before powering on the transmitter, the receiver enters failsafe mode with throttle at idle.

When you power on the transmitter, normal control resumes.

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the

GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter.

The included transmitter and receiver are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below.

1. Power off the transmitter and ESC.

2. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the ESC.

3. Power on the ESC.

4. Remove the front cover. Press the bind button ( A ) on the receiver.

The RED LED on the receiver flashes rapidly.

5. Power on the transmitter.

6. The RED LED on the receiver turns solid when the system is bound.

Replace the front cover.
