The next generation of extreme brushless horsepower is here, Ready-To-Race® from Traxxas—and now waterproof! Velineon™ is the ultimate brushless system delivering the tire melting horsepower, supercharged speeds, and ease of use that you expect from Traxxas. Just plug it in and it works.

The key to the Velineon’s extreme power output is total system optimization. Each component, from the Traxxas high-current battery connector, to the powerful Velineon 3500 brushless motor, is carefully engineered to work with other system components to eliminate restriction and allow maximum power flow. High-frequency transistors and advanced circuit design delivers incredibly smooth and refined throttle control. The Velineon system accepts the widest range of battery types, including 3-cell Lithium Polymer packs (3S LiPo packs). Built-in low-voltage detection in the VXL-3s electronic speed control helps keep LiPo battery packs in top condition.

Traxxas’ exclusive waterproof technology allows the Velineon system to operate in wet conditions, including mud and snow, with no special precautions required. You decide where the Velineon powered adventure leads—the only limits are your imagination.

Key Features:

  • Now Waterproof
  • Compatible with brushed, brushless and sensored brushless motors
  • Auto-detects the motor type
  • Accepts NiCad, NiMH (4-10 cells), and LiPo (2-3cells) battery packs

  • 3 drive profiles:Sport Mode, Race Mode, and Training Mode
  • Two-Stage Thermal shutdown protection

Traxxas VXL-3S Velineon Brushless Power System Combo (Waterproof)
I purchased this power system combo back in 2010. It has been installed in two 2WD traxxas slash. I have ran too many gear ratios to remember them all. the first truck I owned was for two and a half / three years and it got to the point that the truck was abused beyond rebuilding and cost effect was to spend another $200.00 on a basic slash and install the esc motor in the new truck. only modification made. To date the motor still runs strong as day one no problems with the esc at all. I use 2s and 3s lipo's in all my vehicles traxxas and non traxxas I swap out the connectors to make them compatible. I beat the snot out of all my trucks including my slash. I have replace about every part except the esc and motor. would recommend this to anyone from beginner to expert.

my boss bought this combo, and it is very fast with a 2s lipo, and putting a 3s is like nitrous. And amainhobbies.com has the best price on this combo, and great shipping prices. This combo is so sick I just ordered one , I chose it over the mamba max, for the simple fact it's waterproof and cheaper than the MM.

between your gearing and the size wheels you are running, your problem lies there, esc's and motors don't just burn up especially with products from a renouned company.

I still have the same old generation velineon from a few years ago. Plenty fast especially on 3s. Still run it in the same old traxxas slash 4x4 with the HCG chassis. I can only imagine they've improved.

I do not personally own this combo, but my friend with whom I often drive, does. His Velineon system has outlasted three of my own: a Castle MMP 3800Kv and two Viper Copperhead 5100Kv combos. He now has it on 3S and it SCREAMS. I'm gonna break down and buy one now because it's just as fast as any of my other systems, less expensive than most, and it is JUST SO RELIABLE!
Don't bother with brand names - put this combo on 3S and NO ONE will be able to tell the difference as long as your body shell is on!

I have this set up on my slash 4x4 such a good combo. I have been running dual 3000 mah batteries and this thing flies down the street its also a really got combo because it something does go wrong you can send it to traxxas and they will send you a new one for free i dont know any other companies that will do that if you are looking to run 3s lipo put a vxl3s fan on it. that will keep temps down by 30 degrees. i have had this combo for over 5 months and never had a problem with it. :)

Got this motor / speed control and placed in my slash 2wd. Almost too fast for the medium sized indoor track I run on for my abilities. When I run at 1/2 to 3/4 thottle I seem to do alright. Full throttle causes chaos! I wish Traxxas would make same motor but in different turns such as 13.5 and a 17.5 turn. Being able to adjust throttle punch and such would also be nice. For the money, very nice system.

This ESC/Motor Combo is crazy powerful!! After I put it in my Slash, I ran with the same Nimh battery I had with the normal XL-5, and I noticed that not only did it run faster but it actually made the battery runtime last longer. Then I just got a 3S Lipo in it & it screams, on top of pulling uncontrollable wheelies! On top of that, it's waterproof like all Traxxas products, unlike the mamba max. I was originally gonna go with the Mamba Max, but after consulting my local hobby shop & hearing about the dozens of problems with the Mamba compared to one remote problem with the Velineon, I gotta say the Velineon was the best choice.

Sounds like you may have a lemon but also you may have 1) reverse polarity on your battery plugs or 2) same on receiver wire to esc --3) a short in your system somewhere 4) an over-volted battery?--Are you certain you don't?!? That system is made for 7.2 volts--no? One thing about Traxxas is they have had GREAT customer support whenever I called them.

This is a great brushless system I have had this motor for about 6 years. I have run it in my Traxxas Slash, my Traxxas stampede, my Traxxas bigfoot and in my ECX ruckus. It's still running nothing is messed up on it. I have ran it with out the body on the truck while it was pouring down rain and I have also ran it while going thru mud puddles that submerged the motor and it never messed up the motor. It is still strong and healthy. I would buy it again over and over. I will probably never buy any other brand motor or different type of motor than this one.

Bought this for a traxxas rustler 4x4. Made for 3s but runs very hot. Needs to run on 2s. Disappointed in Traxxas. I expected more for the price.
