• Always inspect the battery before charging.
• Always keep the battery away from any material that could be affected by heat.
• Always monitor the charging area and have a fire extinguisher available at all times.
• Always end the charging process if the battery becomes hot to the touch or starts to change form (swell) during the
charge process.
• Always connect the positive leads (+) and negative leads (–) correctly.
• Always disconnect the battery after charging, and let the charger cool between charges.
• Always charge in a well-ventilated area.
• Always terminate all processes and contact Horizon Hobby if the product malfunctions.
• Charge only rechargeable batteries. Charging non-rechargeable batteries may cause the batteries to burst, resulting
in injury to persons and/or damage to property.
• The USB outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
CAUTION: Always ensure the battery you are charging meets the specifications of this charger. Not doing so
can result in excessive heat and other related product malfunctions, which can lead to user injury or property
damage. Please contact Horizon Hobby or an authorized retailer with compatibility questions.
CAUTION: If at any time during the charge process the battery pack becomes hot or begins to puff, disconnect the
battery immediately and discontinue the charge process as batteries can cause fire, collateral damage and injuries.

INSTALL THE TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
SERVO TRAVEL
CAUTION: NEVER remove the transmitter
batteries while the vehicle is powered ON.
Loss of vehicle control, damage, or injury may occur.
CAUTION: If using rechargeable batteries,
charge only rechargeable batteries. Charging
non-rechargeable batteries may cause the batteries to
burst, resulting in injury or property damage.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is
replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries according to state and local laws.
1. Press the battery compartment latch and
rotate the batter cover to open.
2. Install 4 AA alkaline batteries (or Ni-Cd or
Ni-MH), verifying correct polarity.
3. Close the battery cover until it latches.
1. Begin with the transmitter binding process to the
receiver complete. Power ON the receiver.
2. Hold full right and full brake while powering the
transmitter ON to put the transmitter into program-
ming mode.
The LED on the transmitter will flash 4 times to
indicate it is in programming mode.
3. Turn and hold the wheel full left to set the travel
limit for that direction, Press the A button to in-
crease travel, press the B button to reduce travel.
The LED will flash once with every change. Return
the wheel to center to set the travel value.
IMPORTANT: If the value has reached the maximum or
minimum that can be accepted, the LED will not flash with
further input.
4. Turn the wheel to the right and repeat the process to
set the steering travel to the right.
5. For electric vehicles, power the Transmitter OFF to
save the settings. Calibrate your ESC to the default
throttle travel.
6. For fuel powered vehicles, set the throttle travel
without the engine running; After setting steering
travel, you can set throttle travel with the same
process. Pull and hold full throttle, adjust travel
with the A and B buttons, return to center to set the
value.
7. Push full brake, adjust travel with the A and B but-
tons, return to center.
8. Power the transmitter OFF to save the values.

POWER ON THE VEHICLE
With the vehicle wheels off the ground, test the throttle
and steering controls. Ensure the wheels spin in the proper
direction and the front wheels turn in the proper direction
with steering input.
After checking for proper direction of controls, start driving
slowly. If the vehicle does not go straight without steering
input, adjust the steering trim dial on the transmitter until
the vehicle holds a straight line with no steering input.

AFTER DRIVING
When you are finished driving your vehicle:
1. Power off the vehicle. 2. Power off the transmitter. 3. Remove the vehicle battery
and charge if necessary.
BINDING THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER
RECEIVER AND ESC WIRING DIAGRAM
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize a specific transmitter signal, thus preventing interference
from other transmitters. The transmitter and receiver included with your vehicle are bound at the factory. If you need to
rebind, follow the instructions below.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to bind the transmitter and reciever if any other compatible transmitters are in bind mode
within approximately 400 feet (120 meters). Doing so may result in unexpected binding to the wrong transmitter and
loss of control of your vehicle.
Prior to starting the binding procedure, ensure the servos and motor are connected to the proper ports on the receiver
and the transmitter has fresh batteries installed.
1. Insert the bind plug into the receiver.
2. Power on the receiver. The receiver LED will flash rapidly.
3. Power on the transmitter while pressing the BIND button. The transmitter LED will flash.
4. When the LED glows solid, binding is complete.
The receiver LED will glow solid when both the transmitter and receiver are powered on. If the receiver LED flashes
rapidly or is not illuminated, the transmitter and receiver are not bound. Power off both the transmitter and receiver and
repeat the binding procedure.
