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

• 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 of the following:

• Frontandrearaxlehubassemblybearings.

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

• Motor—cleanwithanaerosolmotorcleanerand

re-oil the bearings with lightweight motor oil.
