GETTING STARTED
Before you start running your new Mini-Late Model, it is absolutely
necessary that you read through all of the operating instructions to prevent
unnecessary damage and get the maximum enjoyment from your vehicle.
Step 1
Plug the AC charger into the proper wall receptacle
(110V). Plug the battery pack into the charger and
let it charge for 3 hours for the first time. After
running, or when the Mini-Late Model slows
noticeably, recharge the battery pack for 5 to 6
hours for a full charge.
Step 3
Step 2
Remove the transmitter battery cover by sliding the
cover from left to right. Install four (4) AA batteries
into the battery holder. Pay close attention to the
correct direction of the positive (+) and negative (-)
ends as marked in the tray. Once all 4 batteries have
been installed, reinstall the battery cover by sliding it
on from right to left.
Once the battery is charged, remove the body clip
from the front battery hold-down and remove the
battery strap (fig. 1).
Reinstall the battery strap and body clip. Plug
the battery pack into the ESC (fig. 3).
Install the charged battery pack into the chassis as
shown (fig.2). Ensure that the battery is laying flat on
the chassis.

Step 5
Off/On
Always turn on the transmitter first by sliding the
switch on the left side of the wheel from left to right.
The small red and green lights above the switch should
both light up. If not, you need to check for low or
incorrectly installed batteries.
Step 7
Step 6
Although set at the factory, below are the steps required
to re-bind your transmitter to the receiver should the need
arise. During the bind process there is a unique ID from
the transmitter communicated to the receiver to ensure
trouble-free radio operation.
Steps to Re-Bind
1. Ensure that the transmitter and vehicle are both turned
off.
2. Using the supplied Bind plug (which looks like a
standard receiver plug with a wire loop installed) insert
or plug into the receiver slot labeled “BIND”. Looking
down on the receiver, this slot would be below the
LED and is the farthest from the LED, or nearest to the
corner of the receiver.
St. Trim
RightLeft
Th.Trim
Forward
Once the transmitter has been turned on, turn on the MiniLate Model by sliding the switch on the speed controller
to the “On” position. If the rear wheels turn, adjust the “TH.
Trim” knob located to the lower right of the steering wheel
until they stop. To go forward, pull the trigger back. If you
should need reverse, wait for the model to stop then push
the trigger forward. When going forward the model should
move in a straight line. If not, adjust the “ST. TRIM” so that it
tracks in a straight line without having to turn the steering
wheel. After you are finished, turn the Mini-Late Model off
FIRST by sliding the switch to the “OFF” position. After the
model has been turned off, turn off the transmitter. If you
wish to clean your Mini-Late Model, use compressed air
and/or a soft paintbrush to remove dust and dirt. NEVER
use chemicals or anything wet as that can cause damage to
both electronics and plastic parts.
Brake/Reverse
Note: You do not need to remove any of the other
plugs to re-bind.
3. With the Bind plug installed, turn on the vehicle. Notice
a blinking Orange LED within the receiver.
4. Now you are ready to turn on the transmitter. You
should notice on the back of the transmitter a similar
blinking Orange LED under the translucent cover.
5. Both the receiver and transmitter blinking Orange LEDs
will stop blinking and become solid, indicating they
have “bound” themselves together.
6. Please turn off both the vehicle and transmitter to
remove the Bind plug from the receiver. Failing to
remove the Bind plug will cause the transmitter to
attempt to rebind every time you turn on the vehicle
and transmitter.
7. Turn on both the vehicle and transmitter to ensure
operation. If the transmitter does not control the
vehicle, please repeat steps 1 to 6. Should this not
correct the problem, please call Horizon Service/Repair
for further assistance.
8. The Bind process is complete. Your vehicle’s radio
system should be ready for use.
ALWAYS
• Turn on the transmitter before the vehicle
• Use caution when running your vehicle near people
• Turn both the Mini-Late Model and transmitter “O ” when done
• Check the battery condition of the transmitter before running
