Safety Precautions and Warnings
As the user of this product, you are solely responsible for operating in
a manner that does not endanger yourself and others or result in
damage to the product or the property of others.
This model is controlled by a radio signal subject to interference
from many sources outside your control. This interference can cause
momentary loss of control so it is advisable to always keep a safe
distance in all directions around your model, as this margin will help
avoid collisions or injury.
Age Recommendation: Not for children under 14 years. This is
not a toy.
• Never operate your model with low transmitter batteries.
• Always operate your model in an open area away from cars, traffic
or people.
• Never operate the model in the street or in populated areas for
any reason.
• Carefully follow the directions and warnings for this and any
optional support equipment (chargers, rechargeable battery packs,
etc.) you use.
• Keep all chemicals, small parts and anything electrical out of the
reach of children.
• Moisture causes damage to electronics. Avoid water exposure to
all equipment not specifically designed and protected for
this purpose.
• Never lick or place any portion of your model in your mouth as it
could cause serious injury or even death.
• First-time builders should seek advice from people with building
experience to operate the model correctly and meet its
performance potential.
• Exercise caution when using tools and sharp instruments.
• Take care when building, as some parts may have sharp edges.
• Immediately after using your model, do NOT touch equipment on
the model such as the motor, electronic speed control and battery,
because they generate high temperatures. You may burn yourself
seriously touching them.
• Do not put fingers or any objects inside rotating and moving parts,
as this may cause damage or serious injury.
• Be sure that your operating frequency is clear before turning on or
running your model, and never share the same frequency with
somebody else at the same time.
• Ensure that others are aware of the operating frequency you are
using and when you are using it.
• Always turn on your transmitter before you turn on the receiver
in the car. Always turn off the receiver before turning your
transmitter off.
• Keep the wheels of the model off the ground when checking the
operation of the radio equipment.

charger correctly.
B. 7.2V NiMH battery
C. Compatible Battery Charger
Note: Charger power outlet terminals
not shown.
Note: The vehicle battery charger produces 300 milliAmps per
hour. Divide the mAh capacity on the label of a battery by 300
to know how long battery charging will require. For example, an
1800mAh battery requires 6 hours to charge.
• Read all safety precautions and literature prior to use of
this product.
• Never allow minors to charge battery packs without adult
supervision.
• Never attempt to charge dead or damaged batteries.
• Never charge a battery if the cable has been pinched or shorted.
213
Always charge
Batteries away from
flammable materials.
Never leave
charging Batteries
unattended.
Never charge
Batteries outside
recommended levels.
Never charge
damaged Batteries.
• Never allow batteries or charger to come into contact with
moisture at any time.
• Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold places
(recommended between 50–80 degrees Fahrenheit) or place in
direct sunlight.
• Always use only NiMH rechargeable batteries. This charger cannot
charge batteries such as “heavy duty,” “alkaline battery,” or
“mercury battery.”
• Always connect the positive red lead (+) and negative black lead
(-) terminals of the battery to the charger terminals correctly.
• Always disconnect the battery and charger after charging, and let
them cool between charges.
• Always inspect the battery before charging.
• Always terminate all processes and contact Horizon Hobby if the
product malfunctions.
• Always make sure you know the specifications of the battery to
be charged or discharged to ensure it meets the requirements of
this charger.
• Never connect more than one battery pack to this charger at a time.
• Always constantly monitor the temperature of the battery pack
while charging.
• Always end the charging process if the charger or battery becomes
hot to the touch or starts to change form during the charge process.
INSTALLING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
1. Slide panel open on bottom of transmitter.
2. Obey battery plus (+) and minus (-) diagram in transmitter to install
8 AA batteries.
3. Slide panel closed on transmitter.
WARNING: ALWAYS use fully charged batteries in the
transmitter. Low battery power can result in loss of control of
the RC vehicle.
NEVER install damaged batteries, batteries of mixed types or batteries
of different ages in the transmitter. Remove exhausted batteries.
NEVER store transmitter with batteries installed.
Note: Alkaline AA size batteries are recommended.
Note: Optional AA NiMH battery charger DYN1970 is available. Use
only batteries approved for use with that charger. DYN1970 2300mAh

INSTALLING TRANSMITTER
ANTENNA
1. Put antenna in hole in top of the transmitter.
2. The collapsed antenna will be 2-1/4 inches
long when fully inserted.
3. Turn the antenna clockwise until it is tight. 12-1/4 in
(57mm) 23

RUCKUS
EN
Always keep
vehicle in sight
and under control.
WARNING
OPERATION
ALWAYS turn on your transmitter before you turn on the receiver in the
car. Always turn off the receiver before turning your transmitter off.
ALWAYS operate vehicle in a wide open area. Operating the vehicle
in a small space or indoors can cause overheating at low speeds.
Operating at low speed makes heat in the electronic speed control
(ESC). Overheating can damage the vehicle and failure may result.
MOTOR CARE
• Seat motor brushes by driving smoothly on a flat surface during
use of the first battery charge.
• Prolong motor life by preventing overheat conditions. Undue
motor wear results from frequent turns, stops and starts,
pushing objects, driving in deep sand and tall grass and driving
continuously up hill.
• Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to prevent
circuit damage, but cannot protect the motor from driving
against heavy resistance.
INSTALLING VEHICLE BATTERY
• Turn the thumb nuts on the chassis to remove the battery strap
holding the battery. Remove or install a battery and replace the
battery strap, locking the strap in place by turning the thumb nuts.
• You can put the 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.

SETTING THE GEAR MESH
Gear mesh has already been set at the factory, and setting it is only
necessary when changing motors or gears.
Note: You must remove the vehicle’s gear cover (A) to do this
adjustment.
Proper gear mesh (how gear teeth meet) is important to the
performance of the vehicle. When 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.
1. Loosen the two (2) motor screws.
2. Put a small piece of paper between the pinion and spur gears.
3. Push the gears together while tightening the motor screws.
4. Remove the paper and the gears should move a small amount.
5. Reinstall gear cover.

SHOCK CLEANING
• Oil-filled shocks will require regular maintenance due to the oil
breaking down or getting dirty. This maintenance should be
performed after about every 3 to 5 hours of use depending on
conditions that the vehicle is used in.
• Remove the shock from the vehicle.
• Remove the cap from the shock body and dispose of fluid.
• Disassemble the shock. Clean thoroughly with DYN5505. Dry parts
before assembly.
• Assemble the shock and refill the shock body with silicone fluid (30
weight recommended).
• Slowly move the shaft and piston up and down to remove
air bubbles.
• Move the piston to the midway point of the body and install
the cap.
• Wipe off any overflowing fluid.
• When properly filled, the piston should rebound about 3/8 in
(9.5mm) after being pushed in fully.
• Install shock on vehicle.
Ride Height Adjustment
Ride height is an adjustment that affects the way the vehicle jumps,
turns and goes over bumps. Drop one end of the vehicle from
approximately 6 inches (152 mm) in height onto a flat 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 and look at the rear to make sure both arms are
parallel with the flat surface.
Lower the front ride height to increase steering. Lower the rear ride
height to increase traction but decrease steering.
