Usage Conditions
Your ESC will operate successfully in any of the following,
individual-usage scenarios:
• 2 hours continuous operation in damp grass or vegetation.
• 2 hours continuous operation in heavy fog (95% humidity,
saturated air, condensing water).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light rain (<0.10 in/2.5mm per hour).
• 15 minutes continuous operation in heavy rain (>0.30
in/7.6mm per hour).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light sleet (<0.10 in/2.5mm per hour).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light snow (<0.25 in/6.35mm per hour).
• 45 minutes continuous operation in standing or running
fresh water (the water level should always remain below
the vehicle frame), or constant splashing water, without any
immersion of waterproof component(s).
• 5 minutes continuous operation in standing or running fresh
water (the water level should never rise higher than 0.5 in (about
10mm) above the vehicle frame), constant splashing water, or
frequent, intermittent immersion of waterproof component(s).
• 1 hour continuous operation in damp sand, dirt, mud or snow
(the material level should always be below the vehicle frame),
constant splatter without any immersion or coverage of
waterproof component(s).
Furthermore, when appropriate maintenance procedures (as described
below) are performed promptly following exposure, the ESC will remain
best protected from corrosion or other long-term, water-related damage.
Wet Conditions Maintenance
• Gently rinse the mud and dirt off the ESC with a garden hose.
• Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts.
• If you have an air compressor or a can of compressed air
available, blow off the ESC to help remove any water that may
have gotten into small crevices or corners. Dry any water that
may be inside a recessed connector housing.
• Let the ESC air dry before you store it. Water may continue to
seep or evaporate out of tight areas for a few hours.
NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean your vehicle.
