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 to follow 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

period of time.
With the body removed, place the vehicle upside down and pull full throttle
for a few short bursts until the water has been removed.
