When you create the world’s most powerful Ready-To-Run vehicles, off-the-shelf components just won’t do. Traxxas engineers started from scratch to create the ultimate Maxx-Truck ESC to drive the thundering Big Block motor. Heavy-duty does not begin to describe the waterproof VXL-8s electronic speed control. This is Maxx-duty!

Features:
Internal temperature sensor with integrated cooling fan and two-stage thermal shutdown protection protect the VXL-8s from overheating
Bright multi-color LED status lights provide clear feedback
Built-in two-stage low voltage detection for Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries use provides a clear signal to the driver that the batteries are nearing their minimum voltage threshold
Wide range of LiPo battery options from 3s packs up to full-power 4s LiPo packs
The patented Training Mode is an exclusive Traxxas feature that reduces the overall power output of the VXL-8s by 50%, making it easier for inexperienced drivers to control their model. When you’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—eliminating the need to learn a new set of procedures
The VXL-8s is programmable with three drive profiles:
Sport Mode – Fwd / Brake / Rev
Race Mode – Fwd / Brake
Training Mode** – 50% Fwd / Brake / 50% Rev
Patented Traxxas High-Current Connectors eliminates a common bottleneck and maintain pure, unrestricted power flow from the batteries to the brushless power system
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
