• Most transmitters are not water-resistant.
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
• Drain any water that has collected in the tires
by spinning them at high speed. With the body
removed, place the vehicle upside down and pull
full throttle for a few short bursts until the water
has been removed.
CAUTION: Always keep hands, fingers,
tools and any loose or hanging objects
away from rotating parts when performing the
above drying technique.
• 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. 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 the following:
- 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.
