Thank you for purchasing the Pro Boat™

Riptide™ Ready-To-Run boat. Please

read these instructions carefully before

attempting to operate the boat.

The Riptide comes ready-to-run with an FM

radio system and electronic speed controller

already installed. All assembly is done at

the factory, allowing you to quickly get the

boat running.

Additional Items Needed

You will need to purchase the following

items to get the boat on the water:

• 8 “AA” alkaline batteries for the

radio transmitter

• 7.2V Ni-Cd Battery Pack with

Tamiya Connector (DYN1000)

• Ni-Cd Battery Fast Charger (DYN4010)

Riptide™EP RTR Instruction Manual

1. Carefully remove the boat and radio

transmitter from the box.

2. Inspect the boat. If you notice damage

from shipping, please contact the hobby

shop where you purchased it.

Inspection

1. Install 8 “AA” alkaline batteries into the

transmitter. Be sure each battery cell is

installed in the proper polarity. The polarity

is marked at each cell’s location inside the

transmitter.

2. Slide the battery cover in place and turn

on the transmitter. The LED will light if the

batteries are in good condition and

installed properly.

3. Turn off the transmitter.

Installation of Transmitter Batteries

5469 Riptide rev. 5/20/03 9:14 AM Page 2

1. Carefully lift the deck lid and rotate it to

expose the battery compartment.

2. Install a fully charged 7.2-volt Ni-Cd

battery pack into the hull. (Follow the

instructions included with the fast

charger to ensure a safe charge.)

Secure the battery with mounting straps.

3. Connect the battery plug to the

matching connector on the electronic

speed control.

4. Replace the hatch and pilot.

Installation of the 7.2V Ni-Cd Battery

1. Ensure that the antenna tube is properly

out of the hull. It may be necessary to

slightly pull the antenna tube out to make

certain that the radio range is sufficient.

Do not pull the antenna tube out too

far or the tube will pull out of the

hull completely.

2. Turn on the transmitter then the receiver

and check for correct operation. Move the

right stick on the transmitter left and

right. The rudder should move relative to

the stick movement.

3. With the propeller free from any objects,

give some throttle input to ensure that the

motor is working. If everything appears to

be functioning correctly, you are ready to

run your boat! If any of these functions

are reversed, change the respective

reversing switch position.

Note: If you are transporting the boat,

disconnect the battery from the speed

controller and then turn the radio off

until you are ready to run the boat. Once

ready, simply turn the radio on and plug

the battery into the speed controller,

making sure that the throttle stick is in

the neutral position.

1. Make sure that the radio is on and

the battery is plugged into the speed

controller and motor.

2. Carefully place the boat in the water.

Pilot the boat at slow speeds, staying

close to the shoreline to ensure that you

have good control and that the boat is

functioning correctly.

3. Be certain to avoid all objects in the water.

Once you feel comfortable with the con-

trol of the boat, it is safe to go further

from the shore and at faster speeds.

4. If the boat is losing speed, steer the

boat carefully back to shore. It will be

necessary to replace or recharge the

battery before running your boat again.

Testing the Boat in the Water

Before and at the end of each run, make

sure that all screws are tight and that the

propeller is free from any entanglement.

Note: Running the Riptide™in salt water

could cause parts to corrode. Rinse

thoroughly with fresh water after each use.

If you have any questions concerning

the setup or running of the Riptide,

please call the Horizon Service Center

at (877) 504-0233.
