Tuning, adjusting & maintaining Your Vehicle
• Examine your vehicle on a regular basis.
• Use a brush to remove dirt and dust.
• Look for damage to the suspension arms and other molded parts.
• Re-glue the tires to the wheels, if necessary.
• Use suitable tools to tighten fasteners.
• Make sure the camber and steering linkages are not bent. Replace any bent
linkages.
• Adjust the Toe and Camber settings, if necessary.
• 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 the transmitter. If the green LED is dim or off, replace the AA
batteries in your transmitter.
• Check the spur gear for wear.

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.
