VXL-8s ESC (3496) with Built-In Telemetry

One Button EZ-Set®

Technology shouldn't be difficult to use. That's why the VXL-8s features the same one-button ease of use that comes with all Traxxas speed controls. Not all drivers are ready for X-Maxx’s ballistic 50+mph speed which is why it includes Traxxas’ patented Training Mode. Training Mode limits throttle to 50%, while keeping braking at full power for inexperienced drivers. Two-stage low-voltage protection ensures your LiPo batteries remain safe and healthy.

Velineon VXL-8s Waterproof Features

Internal temperature sensor with integrated cooling fan and two-stage thermal shutdown protection protect the VXL-8s from overheating

Bright multi-color LED status lights provide clear feedback

Built-in two-stage low voltage detection for Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries use provides a clear signal to the driver that the batteries are nearing their minimum voltage threshold

Wide range of LiPo battery options from 3s packs up to full-power 4s LiPo packs

The patented Training Mode™ is an exclusive Traxxas feature that reduces the overall power output of the VXL-8s by 50%, making it easier for inexperienced drivers to control their model. When you’re ready, simply change profiles to unleash full-throttle action

The EZ-Set® push-button setup operates and programs just like other Traxxas speed controls—eliminating the need to learn a new set of procedures

Battery Over-Voltage Protection™ causes the ESC to go into failsafe mode if the maximum input voltage is exceeded

Water resistant case design uses rubber seals and O-rings to protect against damage caused by water and moisture

Gold plated 6.5 mm bullet connectors on ultra-efficient Maxx® Cable flow full power to the motor without performance strangling resistance
