Waterproof Component
Your new Horizon Hobby® Spektrum™ 40A Brushed Waterproof
2-in-1 ESC and Receiver has been designed and built to allow
you to operate the product in many “wet conditions”, including
puddles, creeks, wet grass, snow and even rain.
While waterproof, this component has not been designed to be
immersed in water for long periods of time and should NOT be
treated like a submarine. In addition, most metal parts, including
any 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 ESC and to keep
the warranty intact, it should only be used as described in the
“Usage Conditions” section of this manual. Additionally, the
procedures described in the “Wet Conditions Maintenance”
section 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 your
vehicle in those conditions.
CAUTION: Failure to exercise caution while using this
product and comply with the following precautions
could result in product malfunction and/or void the warranty.
General Precautions
• R
ead through the wet conditions maintenance procedures and
make sure that you have all the tools you will need to properly
maintain your ESC.
• Do not operate your ESC 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.
4
Usage Conditions
Your ESC will operate successfully in any of the following,
individual-usage scenarios:
• 2 hours continuous operation in damp grass or vegetation.
• 2 hours continuous operation in heavy fog (95% humidity,
saturated air, condensing water).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light rain (<0.10 in/2.5mm per hour).
• 15 minutes continuous operation in heavy rain (>0.30
in/7.6mm per hour).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light sleet (<0.10 in/2.5mm per hour).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light snow (<0.25 in/6.35mm per hour).
• 45 minutes continuous operation in standing or running
fresh water (the water level should always remain below
the vehicle frame), or constant splashing water, without any
immersion of waterproof component(s).
• 5 minutes continuous operation in standing or running fresh
water (the water level should never rise higher than 0.5 in (about
10mm) above the vehicle frame), constant splashing water, or
frequent, intermittent immersion of waterproof component(s).
• 1 hour continuous operation in damp sand, dirt, mud or snow
(the material level should always be below the vehicle frame),
constant splatter without any immersion or coverage of
waterproof component(s).
Furthermore, when appropriate maintenance procedures (as described
below) are performed promptly following exposure, the ESC will remain
best protected from corrosion or other long-term, water-related damage.
Wet Conditions Maintenance
• Gently rinse the mud and dirt off the ESC with a garden hose.
• Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts.
• If you have an air compressor or a can of compressed air
available, blow off the ESC to help remove any water that may
have gotten into small crevices or corners. Dry any water that
may be inside a recessed connector housing.
• Let the ESC air dry before you store it. Water may continue to
seep or evaporate out of tight areas for a few hours.
NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean your vehicle.

NOTICE:
Always disconnect the battery from the ESC when
you have finished operating your vehicle. If you leave the battery
connected with the power switch in the OFF position, the ESC will
continue to draw current when connected to the battery, resulting
in possible damage to the battery through over-discharge.
NOTICE: Do not connect a dedicated receiver battery to the
servo or programming ports. When the ESC/Receiver is turned
On it will provide the servo ports with 6V regulated power from
the main battery. If a dedicated receiver battery is connected to
the servo ports, the ESC/receiver may be damaged.

Installation
1. Determine how to mount the ESC/Receiver as specified by your
vehicle’s instruction manual, or in an area with adequate airflow
and protection from damage. Ensure all wiring connections can
be reached prior to mounting. For the best reception performance
choose a mounting arrangement that will put the antenna as high
as possible in the vehicle, away from metal or carbon fiber.
2. Use double-sided foam tape on the bottom of the case to
secure the ESC/Receiver in position.
3. Connect the red power connectors together and the black
power connectors together between the ESC and the motor.
4. If you need to reverse the motor direction you can reverse
the power connections between the motor and ESC.
5. Secure all wiring and ensure the 2-in-1 has good airflow.
6. There is an integrated slide mount on each side of the case
for the switch. Choose a mounting position; the switch
can be installed on one of the slide mounts, or mounted
elsewhere with double-sided foam tape.
NOTICE: Do not cut, kink, or modify the antenna. Damage to
the antenna or shortening it will reduce the range.
Binding
1. Begin with no battery connected.
2. Press and hold the bind button on the receiver.
3. Throttle should be at neutral to set failsafe. Power ON the receiver.
The red LED flashes, indicating the receiver is in bind mode. Release
the bind button after the red LED begins to flash. The motor will
make continuous descending tones until binding is complete.
4. Put your transmitter in bind mode.
5. The bind process is complete when the green LED on the
receiver remains lit.
9
ESC and Transmitter Calibration
1. Begin with no battery connected.
2. Ensure your transmitter is powered ON, the throttle is not
reversed, the throttle trim is neutral and the throttle travel range
is at 100%. Disable any special functions such as ABS, etc.
3. Keep the throttle at neutral and power ON the ESC.
4. The ESC/Receiver automatically calibrates the throttle range
after 3 seconds.
5. The LED will blink and the motor will beep to indicate the
battery mode selection.
6. One long LED blink and one long beep will indicate when
the ESC is ready to run.
Operation
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Power on the receiver.
3. The green LED on the receiver will be illuminated when it is
connected to your transmitter.
4. Disconnect your battery from the ESC/Receiver after operation.
Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the
2-in-1 will drive the throttle channel to the neutral (throttle off)
position. If the 2-in-1 is powered on prior to turning on the
transmitter, it will enter failsafe mode, leaving throttle off. When
the transmitter is turned on, normal control will resume.

Receiver Firmware Updates
If firmware updates are made available for the receiver side of
the 2-in-1, you can install the update yourself. The Spektrum
USB programming cable (SPMA3065, not included) and a PC are
required for updates. Go to the product page at SpektrumRC.com
for update information and to register your receiver. Registration is
required to download updates.
Update Process
1. Register your receiver and download the Spektrum programmer
and the firmware update for the 2-in-1 (when available).
2. Install the Spektrum programmer on your PC and open the
app. Connect the USB programming cable to your PC and
allow it to install the drivers.
NOTICE: In the programmer app there is an option to power
the receiver from the PC. Leave this box checked. DO NOT
connect a power source to the receiver at the same
time as the USB cable.
If the box in the programmer app is checked to power the
receiver from the computer, and the USB cable is plugged into the
receiver, and a power source is plugged into the receiver, there is
a high probability of causing permanent damage to the PC.
Make sure this check-box is checked to power the receiver
from the PC during the update.
14
3. With the vehicle and receiver powered off, plug the updater
cable into the programming port on the 2-in-1. DO NOT turn
on the vehicle or receiver when the USB cable is connected.
The PC should connect with the receiver automatically.
4. Follow the on screen prompts in the to install the firmware
file on the 2-in-1.
5. When the update is complete, unplug the updater cable
from the receiver.
LED Indicators
Upon powering ON the ESC, the red LED will blink and the motor
will emit a series of beeps to indicate its status.
The number of tones indicates (1) the ESC is in operation (2) the
battery mode detected and (3) the ESC is in a ready-to-use state.
