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,ngers,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

• Alltransmissioncases,gearsanddifferentials.

INSTALLINGTHE BATTERY INTHE
VEHICLE
1. Turn the battery clips (A) clockwise to remove the battery strap (B).
2. Install a fully charged battery.
3. Installthebatterystrap.
4. Turn the battery clips counterclockwise to secure the battery strap.
If desired, you can put foam blocks (ECX2015) in front of
the battery so the weight of the battery increases rear traction
or in back of the battery to increase steering response.
INSTALLINGTRANSMITTER BATTERIES
Install 4 AA alkaline batteries into the transmitter, following the
instructions provided for your radio system.
We recommend using only alkaline AA batteries in the transmitter,
however, it is possible to use rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
CAUTION: If using rechargeable batteries, charge only
rechargeable batteries. Charging non-rechargeable
batteries may cause the batteries to burst, resulting in
injury to persons and/or damage to property.
NEVERinstalldamagedbatteries,batteriesofmixedtypesorbatteries

MAINTENANCE
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.
SETTINGTHE 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.

Ride height is an adjustment that affects the way the vehicle
jumps, turns and goes over bumps. Drop one end of the vehicle

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 the neutral position. The steering
channel holds the last input command. If you power on the receiver be-
fore powering on the transmitter, the receiver enters failsafe mode with
the throttle at the neutral position. When you power on the transmitter,
normal control resumes.
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the
GUID(GloballyUniqueIdentier)codeofasinglespecic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.
You must rebind when you want to use a different transmitter.
