| Product Use Statement: |
Not intended for drag racing applications. *Although Cobra 5 HV is waterproof, it is not intended for operation while completely submerged in liquid. Always rinse the ESC and motor with clean water after exposure to corrosives or dirt. While the motor and controller may be waterproof, we suggest users confirm that the rest of their vehicle, including the batteries, servos, radio and chassis are also waterproof before exposing them to liquids of any kind. The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet condition. It is not waterproof. **The cooling fan must be removed prior to driving in wet conditions. It is not waterproof. |
