Reviews for Traxxas VXL-3S Velineon Brushless Power System Combo (Waterproof) [TRA3350R]

It broke it was good but I think I over amped it but I am still quite upset want a refund but I don’t think I can

I'm very pleased with my purchase of the VXL - 3S combo. My order was addressed promptly and delivered on time. Amain is on their game unlike some businesses that keep you hanging forever. Their prices are very competitive to other company's and their selection of products is vast. They pretty much carry what your looking for. I advise to do a price comparison before you buy elsewhere and you'll see what I mean. Hats off to Amain..they will be my main source of rc products..unless they don't carry what I'm looking for.

Great combo Traxxas always brings out the best quality products very dependable

Really impressed with it, I upgraded from the original and it made a world of difference

Junk esc smoked up as soon as I get it wet will not buy again go with hobby wing

Replaced my burnt up Titan motor with this bad boy and wow did it bring life back into my 2wd Rustler. This upgrade is simply amazing and if you are teetering on pulling the trigger. Just hit that add to cart button because this is worth it!

I've owned the original esc and two original motors. The esc and motor is still working and was given to my great nephew 9 years ago which he still bashes around with. That Stampede was rebuilt with all aluminum parts and rollcage. On 3s it needs the wheely bar!!! The other motor I put into my Aquacraft Rio EP with a 120amp turnigy boat esc. With 3s that boat is 70+ mph now. Hit a rock and the boat was full of water and so was the motor. Dried it out and it still runs flawlessly!!!

i have had this motor esc for years now no problems runs excellent very fast too!!!!

This came with my Slash 2wd VXL. It's really powerful and easy to use. I've never had a problem with it. I've used 2s Lipo for most of the time that I've had it. Now I'm using it in my TLR 22SCT with a 86T Spur and 17T pinion which I race in an open class. It's got plenty of power for racing and is very reliable. The only downside is that the ESC is larger than most, but it's also water proof and that's a plus.

Love it, I live in Australia so I find the motor does get pretty hot so I run gearing a touch lower with 2s packs and never had a problem that way, I did seize a motor running stock gearing and 3s for 15 minutes on a hot day in sand but I was asking for problems, be sensible and don't push the limits and you will enjoy affordable waterproof power. I did replace the set up with a sc8 wp hobbywing and castle 1410 4 pole but I couldnt tell much difference. Traxxas nailed it with this combo 2 thumbs up

Worst I ever had every Traxxas vxl I have died 7 esc & 4 motors & because I live in Australia Traxxas gives no warranty. I can send back $50 to fix each & $30 post.I changed to mamba max pro on all.Castle gives warranty no questions asked if they die they replace I only pay the post.
Two of the esc were only one month old same with two motors no warranty thanks for nothing Traxxas & there not water proof one died in the lite rain. Buy castle.

This combo is awesome! my slash 2wd is a monster now! i got the system and also bought the cooling fan because i got it in the summer and i already had a cooling fan for the motor. the esc is good for the price and the motor. the brushed system used to get really hot after 5 minutes running with a dynamite 5100mAh and 19t pinion and 90t spur. with this system it will have 23t pinion and 83t spur it will go 3x as much minutes and still be under 130f all and all i say it is a great system for getting into brushless motors.

I have bought 2 of these systems and broke both of the esc's. The motor on the other hand is exelent but the esc is well near terrible in my opinion. The button on the esc gets stuck after short use and is very likely to fry with all the water proof silicon in the esc. I do NOT recommend the esc. I would buy the motor because it has no problems ... SO FAR!

traxxas cars are awesome traxxas systems and electronics are really bad quality

I am SSSOOOOOOO over Traxxas electronics. Within 10 or so runs I have cooked my second ESC. This thing comes stock with the Slash 4x4. I also have a 1/16 Slash for my son........THREE servos in less than 15 runs. Really don't like the idea of spending the money, but I am now going to Tekin. Better one lump sum and plenty of fun than endless explanations to my boy about how sometimes things fail and we'll have fun next weekend. Really Traxxas guys? Where the heck is this crap made? I get it -stuff breaks when bashing (axles, control arms, etc.) But to plug in the battery, watch all the smoke escape from the wires and NOT be surprised......Bye the way, my Traxxas 3s 6400 LiPo won't balance. Never did. In fairness, I really dig the trucks; but for the love of All that is Holy, what gives with the electronics quality control?

what gearing n a 2wd slash for this set up ! 90 spur 23 p

worst system ive ever had, ive went through 2 esc and a motor. and both the esc where brand new cause they burnt up right away.

I have had a lot of experience with this motor system and have worked on over ten of them. two out of ten seem to "die" after little use, including mine and a friends. the connectors that hold the wires on the circuit-board in the esc come off fairly easily, but this can be fixed, but can cause a short circuit. and my friends motor work once, and never worked again. While when it works, it is fast but is a power hog for a 10.5 t motor, it was great for torque demanding setups ( i used it in my TRF 415 MSX LE). it is water proof but that i useless unless you have a slash b/c everything else in your car is not waterproof. Now i have a LRP SXX TC and it is worth every penny. this is a cheap product, i get everything at cost, and i have to say amain has a good price, but it is made cheaply, with cheap magnets, cheap plastic. it is also HUGE for an esc and will take up alot of space, it is also very heavy, so really the only use for this setup is in off road racing, and for 40 bucks more you could have a 4.5 sc Novak system. Plus the button breaks off on these alot.

in conclusion : you get what you pay for, if you want something cheap, that is just a stepping stone to a more expensive setup, or you have a slash then this is for you, otherwise steer clear

Hate it. Traxxas has terrible service. The VXL-3S sucks
