TUNING, ADJUSTING AND
MAINTAINING THE VEHICLE
• Examine your vehicle on a regular basis.
• Use a brush to remove dirt and dust.
• Look for damage to the axle housings and other molded parts.
• Re-glue the tires to the wheels, if necessary.
• Use suitable tools to tighten fasteners.
• Make sure the 4-link bars, rod ends, and steering linkages are not bent. Replace any bent
linkages.
• Remove the shocks and inspect them for damage. Rebuild the shocks if oil is leaking.
• Inspect electronics and batteries for exposed wires. Repair exposed wires with shrink-wrap
or replace the wire.
• Make sure the ESC and receiver are secure on the chassis. Replace the double-sided tape,
if necessary.
• Power on your transmitter. If the red light is flashing, replace the AA batteries in the
transmitter.
SHOCK CLEANING
Oil-filled shocks will require regular maintenance due to the oil breaking down or getting
dirty. This maintenance should be performed after about every 3–5 hours of use, depending
on the driving conditions.
• Remove the shock from the vehicle.
• Remove the bottom cartridge from the shock body and dispose of fluid.
• Disassemble the shock. Clean thoroughly with a plastic- and electronic-safe degreaser
(DYN5500). Dry parts before assembly.
• Re-assemble the shock and refill the shock body with silicone fluid
(17.5 weight recommended, TLR74001).
• Slowly move the shaft and piston up and down to remove air bubbles.
• Move the piston to the midway point of the body and install the bottom cartridge.
• Wipe off any overflowing fluid.
• Re-install the shock on the vehicle.
ADJUSTING RIDE HEIGHT
Chassis Ride height is an adjustment that affects the way the vehicle jumps, turns and
goes over bumps. Drop the vehicle from approximately 6 inches (152mm) in height on
to a flat surface. When dropping the vehicle, watch how the chassis settles. Make sure
that the lower 4-link bars are almost level to the flat surface.
Lowering the chassis ride height where the 4-link bars are below level will increase
steering, but increase weight transfer and can cause the truck to become edgy.
Raising the chassis ride height where the 4-link bars are above level will increase the
ability of the suspension to absorb bigger jumps and obstacles, but raises the overall
center of gravity and can make the truck more prone to flip under power.
BINDING
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique
Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. The transmitter and receiver are bound
at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below:
1. Disconnect the steering servo from the 2n1 unit.
2. Insert the BIND plug into the steering channel.
3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
4. Power on the ESC
5. Power ON the transmitter. The receiver's red LED will turn solid when the bind is successful.
6. Power OFF the ESC to save the settings.
7. Power OFF the transmitter.
8. Remove the BIND plug and re-connect the steering servo.
You must rebind when binding the receiver to a different transmitter.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to bind the transmitter and receiver if there are other compatible
transmitters in bind mode within 400 feet. Doing so may result in unexpected binding.

SERVICE/REPAIR
RADIO/SPEED CONTROL AND 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
If any questions other than those covered in the troubleshooting or 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.
