3ENBRUTUS MONSTER TRUCK™SPECIFICATIONS 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) and servo(s) 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 below 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. Do not use Li-Po batteries in wet conditions.• The included transmitter is not waterproof or water-resistant. If using a different transmitter than the one included, 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 • 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 or lubricant. 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.Transmitter (SPMSTX200) Frequency 2.4GHzBattery AA × 4Servo (SPMS603) Power Supply 4.8V~6V Output Torque 41.66 oz (3 kg-cm) Operating Speed 0.23sec/60 degrees of travel Size 55.6 × 18 × 30mmElectronic Speed Control (ESC) (DYNS2210) Input Voltage 5–7 cell NiMH/2S LiPo 12T–34T 5–7 cell NiMH/2S-3S* LiPo 35T–55T 12T Motor Limit *This vehicle cannot support Lipo 3S batteries.

8ENBRUTUS MONSTER TRUCK™ELECTRICAL LAYOUT For correct operation, Channels 1 and 2must be used as shown in the wiring diagram. The motor can be disconnected from the ESC at the connectors in the wiring.MAINTENANCESETTING THE GEAR MESH The gear mesh has already been set at the factory. Setting the gear mesh is only necessary when changing motors or gears.You must remove the vehicle’s gear cover ( A) to make this adjustment. Proper gear mesh (how the gear teeth meet) is important to the performance of the vehicle. When the gear mesh is too loose, the spur gear could be damaged by the pinion gear of the motor. If the mesh is too tight, speed could be limited and the motor and ESC will overheat. Set the gear mesh by following these simple steps:1. Loosen the 2 motor screws (B).2. Put a small piece of paper (C) between the pinion and spur gears.3. Push the gears together while tightening the motor screws.4. Rotate the gears to remove the paper. The gearing should move a small amount.5. Reinstall the gear cover.

Replacement, please use part SPMSS6170.ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL (ESC) Programming: The ESC comes with one jumper pre-installed: BATT: Li-Po confi guration. The throttle setting without the jumper indicates Throttle/Brake/Reverse (F/Br/R). Always use this setting for this vehicle.To change the battery type to Ni-MH, disconnect the jumper from the default port and connect it to the Ni-MH port. If the jumper is removed from the BATT port, the default setting is Li-Po mode. Power off the ESC, then power it back on.If the jumpers are lost or not installed, the ESC will default to F/Br/R and BATT: Li-Po. NOTICE: Only use the Ni-MH port when using Ni-MH batteries. Using the Ni-MH port with a Li-Po battery can cause serious damage to the battery and is unsafe.ACBEC3EC3ABCDGFOperationTone Start upOne short tone, followed by one long tone.Low Voltage Cut-Off When low voltage cuttoff is reached, the vehicle will slow and emit a continuous tone.Low Voltage at Start Up When a low battery is plugged in and powered on, the vehicle will emit two low tones and power off.E

9ENBRUTUS MONSTER TRUCK™SHOCK CLEANINGOil-fi lled shocks will require regular maintenance due to the oil breaking down or getting dirty. This maintenance should be performed after about every 3 to 5 hours of use, depending on the conditions that the vehicle is used in.• Remove the shock from the vehicle. • Remove the cap from the shock body and dispose of fluid. • Disassemble the shock. Clean thoroughly with a plastic- and electronic-safe degreaser (DYNE50001). Dry parts before assembly. • Re-assemble the shock and refill the shock body with silicone fluid (30 weight recommended).• 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 cap. • Wipe off any overflowing fluid. • When properly filled, the piston should rebound about 3/8 in (9.5mm) after being pushed in fully. • Re-install the shock on the vehicle. RIDE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Ride height is an adjustment that affects the way the vehicle jumps, turns and goes over bumps. Drop one end of the vehicle from approximately 6 inches (152 mm) in height onto a fl at surface. When dropping the front of the vehicle, after the vehicle settles, make sure the front arms are equal and parallel to the fl at surface. Do the same with the rear to make sure both arms are parallel with the fl at surface. Lowering the front ride height increases steering, but decreases traction. Lowering the rear ride height increases traction, but decreases steering.Part #Description ECX1036 ECX1037 ECX1038 ECX1039 ECX1040 ECX1041 ECX1042 ECX1043 No. Description TAPPINGBINDER HEAD M3x10mmTAPPING BINDER HEAD M3x12mmTAPPING FLAT HEAD M3x15mmTAPPINGFLAT HEAD M3x12mmTAPPINGFLAT HEAD M3x10mmTAPPING BINDER HEAD M3x18mmTAPPING FLAT HEAD M2x16mmTAPPING BINDER HEAD M3x16mmNo. Description WASHER 5x7x0.5mmE-CLIP E2.5LOCK WASHERFLANGEDLOCK NUT M4WASHER3x8x0.5mmLOCK NUT M3WASHER2x7x0.5mmSET SHAFT SCREW M3x13mmNo. DescriptionSETSCREW M3x3mmSETSCREWM3x12mmSTEP SCREWM3x0.5×13.4mmSTEP SCREWM3x0.5×10.5mmBUTTON HEX M2.5x4mmBUTTONHEX M2.5x8mmSTEP SCREWM3x0.5×7.4mmNo. Description BINDER HEAD M3x8mmBINDERHEAD M3x12mmBINDERHEAD M3x20mmBINDERHEAD M3x25mmFASTENERS ECX1043ECX1037ECX1041ECX1037ECX1043ECX1036ECX1038ECX1038ECX1043ECX1037ECX1037ECX1038ECX1037ECX1042ECX1040ECX1057ECX1037ECX1043ECX1038ECX1039ECX1036ECX1038ECX1038ECX1037ECX1057REARFRONT SHOCK ABSORBER PARTS
