WATERPROOF COMPONENT
Your new Horizon Hobby
®
Dynamite
®
60A Brushed Waterproof ESC
has been designed and built to allow you to operate the product in
many “wet conditions”, including puddles, creeks, wet grass, snow
and even rain.
While waterproof, this component has not been designed to be
immersed in water for long periods of time and should NOT be
treated like a submarine. In addition, most metal parts, including
any 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 ESC and to keep the
warranty intact, it should only be used as described in the “Usage
Conditions” section of this manual. Additionally, the procedures
described in the “Wet Conditions Maintenance” section 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 your vehicle in those conditions.
CAUTION: Failure to exercise caution while using this
product and comply 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 ESC.
• Do not operate your ESC 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.
USAGE CONDITIONS
Your ESC will operate successfully in any of the following, individual-
usage scenarios:
• 2 hours continuous operation in damp grass or vegetation.
• 2 hours continuous operation in heavy fog (95% humidity,
saturated air, condensing water).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light rain (<0.10 in/2.5mm per hour).
• 15 minutes continuous operation in heavy rain (>0.30 in/7.6mm
per hour).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light sleet (<0.10 in/2.5mm per hour).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light snow (<0.25 in/6.35mm per hour).
• 45 minutes continuous operation in standing or running fresh
water (the water level should always remain below the vehicle
frame), or constant splashing water, without any immersion of
waterproof component(s).
• 5 minutes continuous operation in standing or running fresh water
(the water level should never rise higher than 0.5 in (about 10mm)
above the vehicle frame), constant splashing water, or frequent,
intermittent immersion of waterproof component(s).
• 1 hour continuous operation in damp sand, dirt, mud or snow (the
material level should always be below the vehicle frame), constant
splatter without any immersion or coverage of waterproof component(s).
Furthermore, when appropriate maintenance procedures (as
described below) are performed promptly following exposure, the
ESC will remain best protected from corrosion or other long-term,
water-related damage.
WET CONDITIONS MAINTENANCE
• Gently rinse the mud and dirt off the ESC with a garden hose.
• Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts.
• If you have an air compressor or a can of compressed air available,
blow off the ESC to help remove any water that may have gotten
into small crevices or corners. Dry any water that may be inside a
recessed connector housing.
• Let the ESC air dry before you store it. Water may continue to seep
or evaporate out of tight areas for a few hours.
NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean your vehicle.
NOTICE: This ESC is waterproofed for use in wet conditions. Make sure the other components in your vehicle are waterproof
or water-resistant before driving in wet conditions.
QUICK START
The quick start setup guide will get you running quickly using the ESC’s default settings.
1. Mount the ESC and motor in your car.
2. Connect the ESC to the motor.
3. Connect the ESC receiver lead to the throttle port on your receiver.
4. Ensure the ESC switch is OFF.
5. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC. Power ON the ESC.
6. Calibrate the ESC to the transmitter.
MOUNTING THE SPEED CONTROL
1. Mount the ESC in the location specified by your vehicle’s
instruction manual, or in an area with adequate airflow and
protection from damage.
Ensure all wiring connections can be reached prior to
mounting.
2. Use double-sided foam tape on the bottom of the case to secure
the ESC in position.
3. Secure all wiring and ensure heatsink has access to airflow.
4. The switch can be mounted to the side of the ESC with the integrated
slide mount, or mounted elsewhere with double-sided foam tape.
MOUNTING THE MOTOR
1. Install the pinion gear for your vehicle (not included) on the motor
shaft with blue thread locking compound. Verify the pinion is
spaced correctly for your vehicle to fully mesh with the spur gear.
NOTICE: Verify the mounting screws do not protrude more than
3mm into the motor or the motor may be permanently damaged.
2. Mount the motor with the 3mm motor mounting screws provided
with your vehicle and set the gear mesh.
3. Connect the red power connectors together and the black power
connectors together between the ESC and the motor.
4. If you need to reverse the motor direction, reverse the power connections.
ESC CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Ensure proper ESC function by calibrating the ESC to your transmitter inputs.
1. Begin with no battery connected.
2. Ensure your transmitter is powered ON, the throttle is not
reversed, the throttle trim is neutral and the throttle travel range is
at 100%. Disable any special functions such as ABS, etc.
3. Keep the throttle at neutral and power ON the ESC.
4. The ESC automatically calibrates the throttle range after 3 seconds.
5. The ESC LED will blink and the motor will beep to indicate the
battery mode selection.
6. The ESC LED will blink a number of times to show the current drag
brake setting with no motor beeps.
7. One long LED blink and one long beep will indicate when the ESC
is ready to run.
BATTERY MODE TYPE SELECTION
The battery mode type is set with the throttle input during power
up. To leave the battery mode without changes, power the vehicle
on with the throttle at neutral. Complete ESC Calibration before
changing the battery mode type.
To change the battery mode selection;
1. Connect a battery to the ESC with the power switch in the off position.
2. Hold full throttle while turning the power switch on. Continue to
hold full throttle for eight seconds until the motor emits a sound,
indicating the mode has changed. The mode selection will cycle to
the next option each time you complete this process.
Upon powering on the ESC normally, the LED will blink and the motor
will beep once to indicate NiMH Mode, twice to indicate 2 cell LiPo
Mode, and three times to indicate 3 cell LiPo Mode.
LED INDICATOR AND MOTOR SOUNDS
Upon powering on the ESC, the LED will blink and the motor will emit a series of beeps to indicate its status.
First it will display the battery mode selection, second the drag brake setting, and then it will indicate it is ready to operate.

ADJUSTABLE DRAG BRAKE (OPTIONAL)
The ESC has a port to connect a jumper to an auxiliary channel on
your receiver. When connected, the auxiliary channel will manage
the drag brake. You can choose to configure your transmitter several
different ways to suit your needs. We recommend a linear switch on
your transmitter, giving you to easy access to choose from light to
strong drag brake.
If the Aux jumper for the drag brake is not installed, the drag brake
can be set from the programming menu. It is defaulted to 70%.
PROGRAMMING
The ESC may be programmed from the optional Dynamite DYNS3005
Program Card.
To change settings with the programming box:
1. Begin with no battery connected.
2. Connect the cable for the programming box into the
programming port as shown.
3. Connect a battery and power ON the ESC.
4. Select the programming choices.
5. Power off the ESC.
6. Disconnect the cable for the programming box.
The programming port may be used to power a cooling fan for
the ESC.

NOTICE: Always disconnect
the battery from the ESC when
you have finished operating your
vehicle. The ESC’s switch only
controls power to the receiver
and servos. The ESC will continue
to draw current when connected
to the battery, resulting in
possible damage to the battery
through over-discharge.
