Frequently Asked Questions - Camaro SS Vaterra

How do I bind the transmitter to the receiver?

Install a bind plug in the receiver's battery/bind port, power ON the vehicle, press the bind button on the transmitter while powering it on, and hold the failsafe positions until the receiver LED turns solid green. Remove the bind plug and disconnect battery.

How long does it take to charge the battery?

The included Dynamite 10W charger charges the 2S 3000mAh Li-Po battery in approximately 2.2 hours.

Can I drive this car in wet conditions?

Yes, the electronics are waterproof and the vehicle is water-resistant. However, it is not a submarine. After wet use, perform the wet conditions maintenance: drain water, dry contacts, rinse mud, lubricate bearings and metal parts, and let air dry.

How do I calibrate the ESC?

Power OFF the ESC. Ensure transmitter is ON with throttle not reversed, trim neutral, and travel at 100%. Press the SET button while powering ON the ESC until green LED flashes. Then set neutral (throttle at rest), full throttle, and full brake/reverse by pressing SET after each step. The motor will vibrate to confirm.

What should I do if the car does not move?

Check that the battery is charged and connected, the ESC switch is ON, the transmitter is ON and has fresh batteries. Verify the pinion/spur gear mesh and that the drive pins are intact.

How do I change the running mode?

Enter programming mode by holding the SET button for 1 second until green LED blinks. Press SET to navigate to menu item 1 (Running Mode). Hold SET for 3 seconds until red LED blinks, then press SET to toggle between 'Forward Only with Brake' and 'Forward/Reverse with Brake'. Hold SET to save.

What is the warranty?

Horizon Hobby warrants the product to be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the date of purchase. Warranty is not transferable and does not cover cosmetic damage, misuse, or modification. Proof of purchase required. Contact Horizon Hobby for service.

How do I improve run time?

Clean and oil bearings regularly, keep the vehicle clean, ensure good airflow to ESC and motor, lower the gear ratio (smaller pinion or larger spur gear), and use a battery with higher mAh rating.

What does the low voltage cutoff do?

It prevents over-discharge of the battery. The ESC monitors voltage and will shut off output power if voltage falls below the programmed threshold for 2 seconds. The red LED flashes twice repeatedly. Default is 3.0V/cell.

Can I use other batteries?

The ESC supports 2-3 cell Li-Po/Li-Fe or 4-9 cell Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries. Always use rechargeable batteries designed for this charger. Consult battery manufacturer for wet condition use.

WAteR-ResIstAnt VeHICle With WAteRpRooF eleCtRonICs

Your new Horizon Hobby vehicle has been designed and built with a combination of waterproof and water-resistant components to allow you to operate the product in many "wet conditions", including puddles, creeks, wet grass, snow and even rain.

While the entire vehicle is highly water-resistant, it is not completely waterproof and your vehicle should NOT be treated like a submarine. The various electronic components used in the vehicle, such as the Electronic Speed Control (ESC), servo(s) and receiver are waterproof, however, most of the mechanical components are water-resistant and should not be submerged.

Metal parts, including the bearings, hinge pins, 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 vehicle and to keep the warranty intact, the procedures described in the "Wet Conditions Maintenance" section to follow 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 the vehicle in those conditions.

CAution: Failure to exercise caution while using this product and complying with the following precautions could result in product malfunction and/or void the warranty.

General PrecautionS

»Read through the wet conditions maintenance procedures and make sure that you have all the tools you will need to properly maintain your vehicle.

»Not all batteries can be used in wet conditions. Consult the battery manufacturer before use. Caution should be taken when using Li-Po batteries in wet conditions.

»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.

CAutlon: 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 bearings with lightweight motor oil.

introduction

Few cars have captured the American spirit like the 1989 Camaro SS. De- signed in response to the Mustang in 1987, the '69 incorporated refinements to the front end, sharper body lines and new detailing inside and out that distinguished it from the earlier models. With 350 and 396 cubic inch engine options, drivers selected the factory SS package for one reason; MORE POWER! Even today, a '69 SS turns heads at car shows, cruise nights and anywhere else a love for big-displacement, Detroit power endures.

The SS bloodline is apparent in this 1/10-scale recreation of the 1969 Camaro SS. Much like its full size counterpart, this Camaro is all about power with its monster 3300Kv brushless motor and 28 Li-Po. It comes completely assembled and ready-to-run, but before hitting the road you must take a little time and read this manual. In its pages you'll find helpful setup and charging tips as well as a handy troubleshooting guide. It's all here to make sure your experience at the wheel is the best it can be.

Perform a control test with the vehicle wheels off the ground. If the wheels rotate after the vehicle is powered DN, adjust the "TH. Trim" knob until they stop. To make the wheels move forward, pull the trigger. To reverse them, wait for the wheels to stop, then push the trigger. When moving forward, the wheels should maintain a straight line without any steering wheel input. If not, adjust the "ST. Trim" knob so the wheels maintain a straight line without having to turn the steering wheel.

Run tIMe

Before running your Vehicle

1 Check for free suspension movement. All suspension arms and steering components should move freely. Any binds will cause the vehicle to handle poorly.
2 Charge the battery.
3 Check the calibration of the ESC. If recalibration is required, follow the setup instructions.
4 Adjust the transmitter settings to your desired configuration.

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 spend repeatedly will damage the batteries and electronics over time. Sudden acceleration will also lead to shorter run times.

to iMProVe run tiMeS

»Clean and oil bearings often. If bearings are dirty, they will increase friction and cause reduced performance.

»Keep your vehicle clean and maintained.
»Allow more airflow to the ESC and motor.
»Change the gearing to a lower ratio. A lower ratio decreases the operating temperature of the electronics. Use a smaller pinion gear or larger spur gear to lower the gear ratio.
»Use a battery pack with a higher mAh rating.

driVinG PrecautionS

»Maintain sight of the vehicle at all times. »Routinely inspect the vehicle for loose wheel hardware.
»Routinely inspect the steering assembly for any loose hardware. Driving the vehicle off-road can cause fasteners to loosen over time.

»Do not drive the vehicle in tall grass. Doing so can damage the vehicle or electronics.
»Stop driving the vehicle when you notice a lack of power. Driving the vehicle when the battery is overly discharged can cause the receiver to power off. If the receiver loses power, you will lose control of the vehicle.
»Do not apply forward or reverse throttle if the vehicle is stuck. Applying throttle in this instance can damage the motor or ESC.
»After driving the vehicle, allow the electronics to cool before driving the vehicle again. Remove the body of the vehicle to reduce cooling time.

DESCRIPTIONS

1 Running Mode

• Forward Only with Brake
Intended for competition use, mode allows only forward and brake controls.
- Forward/Reverse with Brake This mode is the basic all-around mode, allowing forward, reverse and brake controls. To engage reverse while moving forward, apply the brake until the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Release the brake, then apply the brake again. While braking or in reverse, engaging the throttle will result in the vehicle immediately accelerating forward.

2 Drag Brake Force

Adjusts the amount of brake automatically applied when the throttle is returned to neutral. This simulates the engine braking effect of a full-scale vehicle, allowing improved turn-in and your vehicle's general response to controls.

3 Low Voltage Cutoff Threshold

This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC continuously monitors the battery's voltage. If the voltage falls below the voltage threshold for 2 seconds, the output power shuts off and the red LED flashes twice repeatedly. The cutoff threshold calculation is based on individual Li-Po cell voltage. For Ni-MH batteries, if the voltage battery pack is higher than 9.0V, it will be treated as a 3-cell Li-Po battery pack; if it is lower than 9.0V, it will be treated as a 2-cell Li-Po battery pack.

Example: for a 8.0V Ni-MH battery pack used with a 2.6V/cell threshold, it will be treated as a 2-cell Li-Po battery pack and the low-voltage cutoff threshold will be 5.2V (2.6x2=5.2).

4 Start Mode (Punch)

Sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. Level 1 gives a very soft initial acceleration and level 4 gives a stronger initial acceleration.

5 Max Brake Force

Adjusts the maximum braking force. A higher value provides stronger braking, but can also cause the wheels to lock, resulting in loss of control of the car.
