Product Highlights

The Velineon VXL-3s forward/reverse electronic speed control simplifies brushless technology with easy operation that gives you all the control you need for maximum fun. Quickly choose from 3 drive profiles in exactly the same manner as other Traxxas electronic speed controls (such as the XL-5). Profiles include: Sport, Race, and Training Mode (patent pending). Training Mode™ limits full-throttle power to 50% allowing young or new drivers to safely develop their control skills before unleashing the full-throttle capability of the Velineon system. Rustler VXL’s performance can be tailored for drivers of any age and experience. High-frequency transistors and advanced circuit design deliver incredibly smooth and refined throttle control. With the VXL-3s you have the flexibility to use conventional brushed motors, brushless motors, and sensored brushless motors. The VXL-3s auto detects the motor type for you. High-current capacity (320 amps peak) and two-stage thermal protection frees you from motor limits.

Everyone from beginners to experts can enjoy this truck and it grows with the driver. Start out at Skill Level1 with the 6-Cell 7.2V battery and out of the box gearing. When you’re ready, bump it up a notch to a 7-cell 8.4V with new pinion and spur gears and you’ll be going 40+mph. When you have mastered the sport of RC Driving, bump it up to the Expert level - Skill Level 5 – with the new 3-cell Lithium Polymer pack and your truck will be nothin’ but blur at 65+mph! Traxxas has also designed a “training mode” on their electronic speed control to help beginners learn the art of driving with a slower throttle and lower top-speed.
