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
waterproofandyourvehicleshouldNOTbetreatedlikeasubmarine.
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
wetconditions.Tomaximizethelong-termperformanceofyourve-
hicle 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:Failuretoexercisecautionwhileusingthis
product and complying with the following precautions
could result in product malfunction and/or void the warranty.
General Precautions
• Readthroughthewetconditionsmaintenanceprocedures
and make sure that you have all the tools you will need
to properly maintain your vehicle.
• Notallbatteriescanbeusedinwetconditions.Consultthe
battery manufacturer before use. Caution should be taken
when using Li-Po batteries in wet conditions.
• Mosttransmittersarenotwater-resistant.Consultyour
transmitter’s manual or the manufacturer before operation.
• Neveroperateyourtransmitterorvehiclewherelightning
may be present.
• Donotoperateyourvehiclewhereitcouldcomeincontact
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.
• Evenminimalwatercontactcanreducethelifeofyourmotor
if it has not been certified as water-resistant or waterproof. If
themotorbecomesexcessivelywet,applyverylightthrottle
until the water is mostly removed from the motor. Running a
wet motor at high speeds may rapidly damage the motor.
• Drivinginwetconditionscanreducethelifeofthemotor.
Theadditionalresistanceofoperatinginwatercausesexcess
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
increasetheloadonthemotorforanextendedperiodoftime.
Wet Conditions Maintenance
• Drainanywaterthathascollectedinthetiresbyspinningthem
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:Alwayskeephands,ngers,toolsandany
loose or hanging objects away from rotating parts when
performing the above drying technique.
• Removethebatterypack(s)anddrythecontacts.Ifyouhavean
air compressor or a can of compressed air, blow out any water
that may be inside the recessed connector housing.
• Removethetires/wheelsfromthevehicleandgentlyrinse
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.
• Useanaircompressororacanofcompressedairtodry
the vehicle and help remove any water that may have
gotten into small crevices or corners.
• Spraythebearings,drivetrain,fastenersandothermetal
parts with a water-displacing light oil or lubricant. Do not
spray the motor.
• Letthevehicleairdrybeforeyoustoreit.Water(andoil)
may continue to drip for a few hours.
• Increasethefrequencyofdisassembly,inspectionand
lubrication of the following:
