Thank you for purchasing the Traxxas VXL-3s

™

electronic speed control. The Velineon™ VXL-3s

forward/reverse electronic speed control simplifies

brushless technology with easy, built-in profiles

and intuitive programming. The VXL-3s uses

advanced circuit design that allows sensorless

brushless motors to operate with the smoothness

and precision of the best brushless systems. The VXL-3s comes with the

peace-of-mind of the Traxxas Lifetime Electronics Warranty and unmatched

Traxxas customer support. The VXL-3s is not a toy. It is a sophisticated

electronic device capable of delivering large amounts of current. Children

under 14 years of age require adult supervision for use of the VXL-3s. If you

have questions or need assistance call us at 1-888-TRAXXAS*.

Important Precautions

VXL-3s Speed Control

• Water and Electronics Do Not Mix: Your VXL-3s brushless power system

is waterproof for use in mud, snow, puddles and other wet conditions.

Make certain the other components of your model are waterproof or have

sufficient water resistance before driving in wet conditions.

• Disconnect the Batteries: Always disconnect the battery pack from the

speed control when not in use.

• Transmitter on First: Switch on your transmitter first before switching on

the speed control to prevent runaways and erratic performance.

• Don’t Get Burned: The heat sink can get extremely hot, so be careful not

to touch it until it is cool. Supply adequate airflow for cooling.

• Use Stock Connectors: If you decide to change the battery or motor

connectors, only change one battery or motor connector at a time. This

will prevent damage from accidentally mis-wiring the speed control.

Please note that modified speed controls can be subject to a rewiring fee

when returned for service. Removing the battery connector on the speed

control or using the same-gender connectors on the speed control will

void the product’s warranty.

• Insulate the Wires: Always insulate exposed or damaged wiring with heat

shrink tubing to prevent short circuits

Batteries and Battery Charging

The Velineon Power System

uses rechargeable batteries that must be

handled with care for safety and long battery life. Make sure to read and

follow all instructions and precautions that were provided with your battery

packs and your charger. It is your responsibility to charge and care for your

battery backs properly. In addition to your battery and charger instructions,

here are some more tips to keep in mind.

• Never leave batteries to charge unattended.

• Remove the batteries from the model while charging.

• Allow the battery packs to cool off between runs (before charging).

• Always unplug the battery from the electronic speed control when the

model is not in use and when it is being stored or transported.

• Do not use battery packs that have been damaged in any way.

• Do not use battery packs that have damaged wiring, exposed wiring, or a

damaged connector.

• Children should have responsible adult supervision when charging and

handling batteries.

LiPo Batteries

Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are becoming popular for use in R/C

models due to their compact size, high energy density, and high-current

output. However, these types of batteries require special care and handling

procedures for long life and safe operation. LiPo batteries are WARNING:

intended only for advanced users that are educated on the risks associated

with LiPo battery use. Traxxas does not recommend that anyone under

the age of 14 use or handle LiPo battery packs without the supervision of

a knowledgeable and responsible adult.

The VXL-3s electronic speed control is able to use LiPo batteries with

nominal voltage not to exceed 11.1 volts (3S packs) volts. LiPo batteries

have a minimum safe discharge voltage threshold that should not be

exceeded. The Velineon VXL-3s electronic speed control is equipped with

built-in Low-Voltage Detection that alerts the driver when LiPo batteries

have reached their minimum voltage (discharge) threshold. It is the driver’s

responsibility to stop immediately to prevent the battery pack from

being discharged below its safe minimum threshold.

Low-Voltage Detection on the speed control is just one part of a

comprehensive plan for safe LiPo battery use. It is critical for you, the user,

to follow all other instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer

and the charger manufacturer for proper charging, use, and storage of

LiPo batteries. Make sure you understand how to use your LiPo batteries.

Be aware that Traxxas shall not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental,

or consequential damages arising out of the installation and/or use of LiPo

batteries in Traxxas products.

If you have questions about LiPo battery usage, please consult with your

local hobby dealer or contact the battery manufacturer.

Installation

The VXL-3s will install directly into most Traxxas models in the location of

the original speed control. Rustler, Bandit, and Stampede models require the

use of the VXL-3s mounting plate (part #3725, sold separately). The VXL-3s

can also be installed in the chassis with double-sided servo tape (part #1589,

sold separately). When mounting the speed control with double-sided servo

tape, clean both application surfaces thoroughly with alcohol. The surfaces

must be perfectly clean for maximum adhesion.

Here are some tips for choosing a location for the speed control:

• The VXL-3s does not use a conventional on/off switch. Pressing the

EZ-Set button on the speed control turns it on and off. It is not necessary

to install an on/off switch into the wiring harness.

• If you are planning to operate the speed control at the higher limits of

its capabilities, cut ventilation holes into the body for the heat sinks.

Monitoring temperatures will extend the lives of

the batteries and motor and proper ventilation and

cooling will prevent premature thermal shutdown.

The VXL-3s is equipped with an additional connector

to supply power to an optional heat sink cooling fan.

An optional heat sink cooling fan can assist in cooling

the VXL-3s in high current motor applications.

• Mount the speed control so that none of the power components (wiring,

motor, ESC) contacts any part of the radio system, particularly the

antenna wire. The receiver should be mounted so the antenna wire can

be extended as far away from the speed control as possible. The antenna

wire should be extended vertically in the mast and not wrapped on the

chassis under the body. Excess antenna wire should not be coiled on

the chassis. Servo cables and the antenna wire should not cross or come

in contact with any of the motor or battery wires. These steps will help

reduce the possibility of radio interference.

• Mount the speed control where it will be protected from crash damage.

Also protect the speed control from dirt and debris kicked up by the tires.

• Mount the speed control where you will have easy access to the plugs and

the on/off (EZ-Set) button without having to remove the body.
