The Traxxas Velineon VXL-3s Waterproof ESC (TRX3355R) brings simple, reliable brushless control to your model with familiar EZ-Set operation. It programs just like the Traxxas XL-5 family, making setup straightforward, and includes the exclusive Training Mode to limit throttle to 50% for newer drivers. Two-stage low-voltage detection supports LiPo batteries, including powerful 11.1 V 3S packs, while being backed by the Traxxas Lifetime Electronics Warranty.

Engineered for high current delivery, the VXL-3s features the patented Traxxas High-Current Connector and super-flexible 12‑gauge Maxx Cable for low resistance and efficient power flow. A water resistant case design with rubber seals and o-rings helps protect against moisture, and cooling is enhanced by a micro-fin aluminium heatsink with provision for an optional snap-on fan. Built-in safeguards such as thermal shutdown, locked-rotor protection, and over-voltage protection provide extra confidence when driving hard.

The Velineon VXL-3s forward/reverse electronic speed control simplifies brushless technology with easy, built-in profiles. It sets up, operates, and programs just like the Traxxas XL-5 family of ESCs so there's no tricky new procedures to learn. Traxxas' exclusive patented Training Mode is also included to limit full throttle to 50% for young or inexperienced drivers. For the most advanced users, the VXL-3s is equipped with two-stage low voltage detection to allow LiPo battery use, including powerful 11.1-volt 3S packs! The VXL-3s is manufactured by Traxxas to ensure the highest level of quality and support and is backed by the Traxxas Lifetime Electronics Warranty.

Traxxas High-Current Connector* The VXL-3s ESC is equipped with the patented Traxxas high-current connectors for restriction-free current flow.

Assembled with Maxx Cable (12-gauge wire) This super-flexible, high-current, low-resistance 12-gauge, wire acts like a series of giant pipes, flowing energy in and out of the VXL-3s electronic speed control and into the Velineon 3500 motor. The patented Traxxas Connector combined with Maxx cable is a better engineered solution for extracting all the power your battery has to give.

Traxxas VXL-3s Waterproof ESC Key Features:

  • Sport Mode' drive profile (forward / brake / reverse)
  • Race Mode' drive profile (forward / brake)
  • Training Mode' drive profile (50% forward / brake / 50% reverse)
  • Patented Traxxas High-Current Connector eliminates a common bottleneck and maintains pure, unrestricted power flow from the battery to the brushless power system.
  • Built-in two-stage low voltage detection for Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery use provides a clear signal to the driver that the battery pack is nearing its minimum voltage threshold.
  • Widest range of battery options ranging from 4-cell NiMH packs all the way up to 3S LiPo battery packs (11.1 volt)
  • The patented Training Mode is an exclusive Traxxas feature that reduces the overall power output of the VXL-3s by 50%, making it easier for new or younger drivers to control their model. When they'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 such as the XL-5. This eliminates the need to learn a new set of procedures.
  • Multi-colour LED provides clear feedback
  • Two-stage thermal shutdown protection protects the VXL-3s from overheating.
  • Locked Rotor Protection prevents system damage by cutting power if the vehicle is stuck or the motor is bound.
  • 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.
  • Micro-fin aluminium heatsink dissipates heat.
  • The built-in auxiliary fan output powers a snap-on accessory fan for increased cooling capacity during extreme use. A handy clasp on the speed control case keeps the wire neatly in place until you are ready to use it.
  • Gold plated 3.5mm bullet connectors on 12-gauge Maxx Cable flow full power to the motor without performance strangling resistance.

    Hello, I am looking for this exact ESC however my lipo battery connection is of a different type, it is a Traxxas type battery with TRX plug. Can you supply this ESC with the traxxas type connector ?
    Graeme / 28th June 2022

    This ESC does come with a Traxxas connector, it is the newer version but the old style connector will fit it.

    Hello, I have just bought a second hand Slash Ultimate Scott Douglas, it has the Traxxas VXL-3s Waterproof ESC with an old battery connector shape, do you sell Traxxas batteries with the old style connecter? Or do you sell an adapter so I can use the new Traxxas batteries? Thanks, Neil

    We do sell the new style plug on the website part number TRX3070X
