Presentation of the Traxxas Velineon VXL-8S XRT 3496T Brushless Drive

Ultimate power and control

The Traxxas Velineon VXL-8S XRT 3496T Brushless Variator is identical to that of the Designed to power the powerful Big Block motor, this drive delivers incredible torque and power, ideal for high-performance RC vehicles.

Robust and waterproof design

The VXL-8S features patented Traxxas high-current connectors that deliver power ultra-efficiently. Gold-plated 6.5mm connectors provide direct power to the motor. An integrated fan cools the heatsink to maintain optimal temperatures and extend the life of the drive. Bright status LEDs provide clear alerts on temperature and voltage. Internal programming constantly monitors performance to prevent damage.

Real-time telemetry

The VXL-8S supports real-time telemetry with the optional 6511 wireless module ( sold separately ). Use the free Traxxas Link app to download telemetry updates and receive data such as speed, engine rpm, voltage and drive temperature directly to your mobile device, without additional sensors.

EZ-Set® Technology

Ease of use is at the heart of the VXL-8S thanks to One Button EZ-Set® technology. Training mode limits power to 50% for beginners, while two-stage thermal protection and low voltage detection keep LiPo batteries safe. Three driving profiles are programmable: Sport mode , Race mode and Training mode .

Safety Features

The VXL-8S is equipped with several protections to ensure safe and reliable performance:

Locked rotor protection to prevent damage in the event of a blockage
Battery overvoltage protection in fail-safe mode if maximum voltage is exceeded
Water-resistant housing with O-rings to protect against water and moisture damage
