Traxxas VXL-3S Brushless ESC

Discover the exceptional Traxxas VXL-3S Brushless ESC, designed to simplify brushless technology with integrated profiles and intuitive programming. This advanced electronic speed controller utilizes a cutting-edge circuit design, allowing sensorless brushless motors to operate with the smoothness and precision typically associated with the best brushed systems. The VXL-3S is set up, operated, and programmed just like the Traxxas XL-5 ESC family, eliminating the need to learn complicated new procedures.

For novice or young drivers, Traxxas offers a patented Training Mode that limits full throttle output to 50%. Experienced users will appreciate the two-stage voltage monitoring, enabling the use of LiPo batteries. Manufactured by Traxxas, this ESC ensures the highest quality and support, backed by the Traxxas Lifetime Electronics Warranty.
