Many questions are the result of simple user errors or minor
adjustments which are easily addressed. If after reading below
you cannot resolve your problem, then please call Horizon
Customer Service at 1-877-504-0233.
Radio system does not work properly:
If the power light on the transmitter is not turning on, first
ensure the batteries are installed correctly. You should also
check that the batteries are good and/or if rechargeable are
fully charged. Replace them if needed. If the power light is
blinking, then the transmitter batteries are weak and should
be replaced. If the transmitter light is on but the radio is still
not responding, you may need to rebind the transmitter to the
receiver. Please see page 13.
Short radio range:
If the radio range appears short, make sure the batteries are all
fully charged and/or are in good condition. Another tip is to
make sure that your receiver’s antenna extends outside of the
body.
Steering works but the motor will not run:
The speed control may have gotten too hot and thermally
shut down. Allow time for the speed control to cool. If this is
the problem and has happened a few times, consider using a
smaller pinion or a larger spur gear.
Check the transmission, do the rear wheels spin easily?
Check that a motor wire has not come loose.
Verify that the electronic speed control is plugged into the
throttle channel of the receiver.
Check using another battery. Contact Horizon support for
service instructions.
Steering servo does not work:
Check all wires, radio system, battery connectors and the
battery pack.
Contact Horizon support for service instructions.
Motor runs backwards:
The black wire lead from the motor should be connected to the
black wire lead from the ESC and the same for the red wires.
If not, please correct by swapping the wires. If you are still
experiencing problems please contact Horizon support.
Motor starts running immediately after the battery has
been connected.
There may be internal ESC damage. Contact Horizon
customer support.
Troubleshooting your 1/10 Slider Vehicle runs slowly/slow acceleration:
Check the battery connectors.
Confirm that the battery is charged.
Vehicle will not reverse:
Make sure the throttle trim is at neutral.
Recalibrate/Set up the ESC (see page 8).
Check to see if the ESC is in forward only mode that does not
have reverse active.
Keep stripping spur gears:
Improper gear mesh, refer to page 18.
Improperly adjusted slipper, refer to page 17.
