WATER-RESISTANT VEHICLE WITH WATERPROOF ELECTRONICS
Your new Horizon Hobby vehicle has been desi gned and built with a combination of
wa terproof and water-resistant components to allow yo u to operate the produ ct in many
"wet conditions," incl udin g puddl es, creeks, wet grass, snow and e ven rain.
While the entire vehicle is highly water-resistant , it is no t co mplete ly waterproof and

nents used in the vehicle, such as the Elect ronic Speed Control (E SC), servo(s) and
receiv er are waterproof, however, most of the mech anical components are water- resis-
tant and should not be submerged.
Metal parts, including the bearings, hinge pins, scre ws and nuts, as well as the co ntacts
in the electric al cables, will be susceptible to corrosion if additi onal maintenance is not
performed after runni ng i n wet conditions. To maximize the long-term performance of
your v ehic le a nd to keep the warranty intac t, the procedures described in the "Wet Co n-
ditions Maintenance" section below mus t be pe rformed regularly if you choose to run
