General Precautions

•  Read the 

WET CONDITIONS MAINTENANCE

 procedures 

and make sure that you have all the tools you will need to 

properly maintain your boat.

•  Not all batteries can be used in wet conditions. Consult the 

battery manufacturer before use. Caution should be taken 

when using 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 boat when lightning is 

present.

•  Salt water is very conductive and highly corrosive. If you 

choose to run your boat in salt water, immediately rinse 

the boat in fresh water after each use. Operating your boat 

in salt water is at the sole discretion of the modeler.

Wet Conditions Maintenance

•  Drain any water that has collected in the hull by removing 

the drain plug or canopy and tilting the boat in the 

appropriate direction to drain the water.

CAUTION: 

Always keep hands, fingers, tools and any 

loose or hanging objects away from rotating parts.

•  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 

housings.

•  Dry and lubricate parts after every 30 minutes of 

operation or if the boat becomes submerged.

NOTICE: 

Never use a pressure washer to clean your boat.

•  Use an air compressor or a can of compressed air to dry 

the boat and help remove any water that may have gotten 

into small crevices or corners.

•  Spray the bearings, fasteners and other metal parts with  

a water-displacing light oil or lubricant. 

•  Let the boat air dry before you store it. Water (and oil) 

may continue to drip for a few hours.
