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) and servo(s) 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.

•  The included transmitter is not waterproof or water-resistant. If using 

a different transmitter than the one included, 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 a 

water-displacing light oil or lubricant. 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:  

•  Front and rear axle hub assembly bearings.

•  All transmission cases, gears and differentials.

•  Motor—clean with an aerosol motor cleaner and re-oil the bushings 

with lightweight motor oil.

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 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.
•  Never operate your model with low transmitter batteries.

•  Always operate your model in open spaces away from 

full-size vehicles, traffic and 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.

•  Never lick or place any portion of the model in your mouth as it could 

cause serious injury or even death.

•  Exercise caution when using tools and sharp instruments.

•  Take care during maintenance as some parts may have sharp edges.

•  Immediately after using your model, do NOT touch equipment 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.

•  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.
