Your new Horizon Hobby® Spektrum

™

40A Brushed Waterproof

2-in-1 ESC and Receiver has been designed and built to allow

you to operate the product in many “wet conditions”, including

puddles, creeks, wet grass, snow and even rain.

While waterproof, this component has not been designed to be

immersed in water for long periods of time and should NOT be

treated like a submarine. In addition, most metal parts, including

any 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 ESC and to keep

the warranty intact, it should only be used as described in the

“Usage Conditions” section of this manual. Additionally, the

procedures described in the “Wet Conditions Maintenance”

section 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 your

vehicle in those conditions.

CAUTION: Failure to exercise caution while using this

product and comply with the following precautions

could result in product malfunction and/or void the warranty.

General Precautions

• R

ead through the wet conditions maintenance procedures and

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

maintain your ESC.

• Do not operate your ESC 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.
