water-resIstant vehICle wIth waterproof eleCtronICs

Your new Horizon Hobby vehicle has been designed and built with a combination of waterproof and waterresistant 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 waterresistant, 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.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

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.

» 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 o 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 dierentials.

• Motor—clean with an aerosol motor cleaner and

re-oil the bearings with lightweight motor oil.

5 Press the bind button on the transmitter while powering on

the transmitter. The green LED on the transmitter will ﬂash after 4 seconds when the transmitter is in bind mode.

6 Release the bind button after the red LED on the

transmitter ﬂashes. Continue holding the failsafe positions until the receiver LED is solid. The green LED on the receiver will glow solid when the transmitter and receiver are bound.

7 Disconnect the battery from the ESC. Remove the bind plug

from the receiver. The receiver will keep the binding to the transmitter until another binding is done.

Your Spektrum Transmitter comes prebound to the vehicle.

If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support oce.

Perform a control test with the vehicle wheels o the ground. If the wheels rotate after the vehicle is powered ON, adjust the “TH. Trim” knob until they stop. To make the wheels move forward, pull the trigger. To reverse them, wait for the wheels to stop, then push the trigger. When moving forward, the wheels should maintain a straight line without any steering wheel input. If not, adjust the “ST. Trim” knob so the wheels maintain a straight line without having to turn the steering wheel.

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.

2 Charge the battery. 3 Check the calibration of the ESC.

If recalibration is required, follow the setup instructions.

4 Adjust the transmitter settings

to your desired conﬁguration.

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

» Clean and oil bearings often. If bearings

are dirty, they will increase friction and cause reduced performance.

tunInG, aDjustInG & maIntaInInG your vehICle

SERVICE/REPAIR

If any problems other than those covered in this manual arise, please call the appropriate electronics service department. Refer to the Warranty and Service Information section for the appropriate department to contact.

CLEANING

Performance can be hindered if dirt gets in any of the moving suspension parts. Use compressed air, a soft paintbrush, or a toothbrush to remove dust or dirt. Avoid using solvents or chemicals as they can actually wash dirt into the bearings or moving parts, as well as cause damage to the electronics.

» Examine your vehicle on a regular basis. » Use a brush to remove dirt and dust. » Look for damage to the suspension arms

and other molded parts.

» Re-glue the tires to the wheels, if necessary. » Clean and oil all wheel bearings. » Use suitable tools to tighten fasteners. » Make sure the camber and steering linkages

are not bent. Replace any bent linkages.

» Adjust the Toe and Camber settings, if necessary.

» Keep your vehicle clean and 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.

DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

» Maintain sight of the vehicle at all times. » Routinely inspect the vehicle for loose

wheel hardware.

» Routinely inspect the steering assem-

bly for any loose hardware. Driving the vehicle o-road can cause fasteners to loosen over time.

» Do not drive the vehicle in tall grass.

Doing so can damage the vehicle or electronics.

» Stop driving the vehicle when you

notice a lack of power. Driving the vehicle when the battery is overly discharged can cause the receiver to power o. If the receiver loses power, you will lose control of the vehicle.

» 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. Remove the body of the vehicle to reduce cooling time.

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

» Remove the shocks and inspect them for

damage. Rebuild the shocks if oil is leaking.

» Inspect electronics and batteries for exposed wires.

Repair exposed wires with shrink-wrap, or replace the wire.

» Make sure the ESC and receiver are secure on

the chassis. Replace the double-sided tape, if necessary.

» Power ON the transmitter. If the green LED is dim

or o, replace the AA batteries in your transmitter.

» Check the spur gear and pinion gear for wear.

MOUNTING THE ESC

1 Mount the ESC in the location

speciﬁed by your vehicle’s instruction manual.

Important: Ensure all wiring

connections can be reached prior to mounting.

2 The ESC can be mounted in vehicles

with mounting posts using the removable mounting tabs.

3 If the vehicle doesn’t have mount-

ing posts, remove the tabs and use double-sided foam tape to secure the ESC in position.

4 The switch can be mounted to the

side of the ESC with the slide mount. Or use double-sided foam tape to secure the switch in a convenient location in the vehicle.

CONNECTING THE ESC

1 Connect the RED (+) ESC wire

to the RED (+) motor wire.

2 Connect the BLACK (–) ESC wire

to the BLACK (–) motor wire.

notICe: Always disconnect the battery from the ESC when you have ﬁnished 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.

CALIBRATING THE ESC

Ensure proper ESC function by calibrating the ESC to your transmitter inputs.

1 Power OFF the ESC. 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 automatically calibrates

the throttle range after 3 seconds.

5 One long beep will sound when

the ESC is ready to run.
