Never leave charging batteries unattended or charge overnight.
First-drive instructions Disconnect the battery immediately if it becomes hot or begins to puff. Never remove transmitter batteries while the vehicle is powered ON. Charge the vehicle battery Confirm the output voltage of your USB power supply conforms to the charger specifications before connecting. Plug the charger into a USB port on a computer or a USB power supply. Connect the battery balance connector to the charger's charge port. Observe the LEDs: solid red and blinking green indicate charging has started. Wait for the LED to turn solid green, indicating the charge is complete (approx. 20-40 minutes for a 160mAh battery). Immediately remove the battery from the charger once charging is complete. Do not leave the battery connected.

New to RC? Start here. A few useful things to know. No experience needed.
What makes hobby-grade RC different from a toy RC car? Hobby-grade vehicles are designed to be repaired by replacing individual parts when they break, whereas toy-grade products often lack available replacement parts. Hobby-grade models also feature proportional controls, meaning small movements on the handheld controller create small, precise movements on the vehicle.
Compare RC cars & trucks Sources What do the parts inside an electric RC car actually do?
Handheld controller (transmitter) The device held by the driver that sends steering and throttle signals to the vehicle.
Receiver The unit inside the vehicle that receives signals from the transmitter and relays them to the steering servo and speed controller.
Speed controller (ESC) An electronic accelerator that varies electrical power from the battery to the motor to control speed.
Steering servo The muscle of the steering system that uses a motor and gears to push and pull the wheels to direct the vehicle.
Motor The component that converts electrical energy into mechanical motion to drive the wheels.
Battery The onboard power source that provides the electricity needed to run the vehicle's electronics and motor.
Chassis The structural platform or frame that all other parts are bolted to. See this rig’s details Sources What is a receiver/ESC combo, and does this truck have one? This truck includes a 2-in-1 unit that combines the receiver and speed controller into a single component mounted inside the vehicle. The Spektrum SLT2 handheld controller is a separate device used to send signals to this internal unit. If you decide to upgrade your electronics later, you should check that your new radio system and motor are compatible with your chosen components.
Inside this version Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz radio transmitter Spektrum SCX30 SLT Brushed 2-in-1 ESC/Receiver (installed) See what this rig needs Sources Does ready-to-run include everything? Ready-to-Run (RTR) means the vehicle is pre-built and bound to the included radio system. However, you should always check the product detail page for any additional components that may be required, such as specific batteries or chargers.
See what this rig needs Sources What does RC scale tell me? Scale indicates the size of the model relative to a full-size vehicle. A 1/30 scale model is roughly 1/30 the size of its real-life counterpart. Actual dimensions still vary between different models.
See this rig’s details Sources Where can I drive a truck this small? This 1/30 scale, 17.5 cm (6.9 inch) long truck is designed for navigating desktops, cluttered living rooms, and outdoor rock or dirt trails. The manufacturer does not establish performance for driving in grass.
Compare RC cars & trucks Sources More beginner questions What kind of RC driving would I enjoy? This vehicle is a rock crawler, which is designed to climb over and through rough terrain that stops other vehicles. Other types include monster trucks for versatile bashing, short course trucks for racing, and on-road cars for smooth pavement.
Compare driving styles Sources Can I make the controls gentler while learning? Yes, the transmitter features a throttle limit switch. You can select 50% or 75% output to make the vehicle easier to control for less experienced drivers or when operating in a small area.
Get help with this rig Sources What happens if I break something? Hobby-grade vehicles are designed for repair. You can consult the exploded views in your manual to identify specific parts and order replacements through authorized retailers or the manufacturer's support site.
Get help with this rig Sources Do I need brushless or upgrades straight away? Upgrades are a personal choice, not a requirement. Brushed motors are easy to maintain and affordable, while brushless motors offer more power and longevity if you choose to upgrade later.
Explore the options Sources How much battery care do I need to learn? You must never leave charging batteries unattended, never charge overnight, and always inspect the battery before charging. If the battery becomes hot or swells during charging, disconnect it immediately and stop the process.
See the care steps Sources How do I find the right replacement part? You can identify the correct replacement parts by consulting the exploded views section in your instruction manual. For the most current information and support, you can also visit the product page on horizonhobby.com and select the Support tab.
