vehicle when the battery is discharged can cause the receiver to power
off. You may lose control of the vehicle.
CAUTION: Do not discharge a LiPo battery below 3V per cell.
Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved
voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance
and potential fire when batteries are charged.
Applying throttle in this instance can damage the motor or ESC.
temperature before using the next battery pack.
RUN TIME
The largest factor in run time is the capacity of the battery pack.
A larger mAh rating increases the amount of run time experienced.
The condition of a battery pack is also an important factor in both run time
and speed. The battery connectors may become hot during driving. Batteries
will lose performance and capacity over time.
Driving the vehicle from a stop to full speed repeatedly will damage the
batteries and electronics over time. Sudden acceleration will also lead
to shorter run times.
To Improve Run Times

gear to lower the gear ratio.

Radio/Speed Control & Motor
If any problems other than those covered in the troubleshooting section
arise, please call the appropriate electronics service department. They
will be able to give the problem additional specific attention and provide
instructions for the solution.
Maintenance
maintenance sections arise, please call the appropriate Horizon product
support department.
Cleaning
Performance can be hindered if dirt gets in any of the moving suspension
parts. Use compressed air, a soft paintbrush, or a toothbrush to remove dust
or dirt. Avoid using solvents or chemicals as they can actually wash dirt into
the bearings or moving parts, as well as cause damage to the electronics.
