XL-2.5 Battery Settings (Low-Voltage Detection Setting)

The XL-2.5 electronic speed control is equipped with built-in Low-Voltage 
Detection. The Low-Voltage Detection circuitry constantly monitors the 
battery voltage. When the battery voltage begins to reach the minimum 
recommended discharge voltage threshold for LiPo battery packs, the XL-
2.5 will limit the power output to 50% throttle. When the battery voltage 
attempts to fall below the minimum threshold, the XL-2.5 will shut down all 
motor output. The LED on the speed control will slowly blink red, indicating a 
low-voltage shutdown. The XL-2.5 will stay in this mode until a fully charged 
battery is connected. 
Your model includes a Power Cell NiMH battery. The XL-2.5 speed control’s 
Low-Voltage Detection has been disabled for best performance with this 
battery. The speed control’s LED will glow red when it is turned on, indicating 
Low-Voltage Detection is disabled. Be certain to activate Low-Voltage 
Detection if you install LiPo batteries in your model. 

Never use LiPo batteries 

while Low-Voltage Detection is disabled. 

Verify that Low-Voltage Detection is DISABLED:

1. Turn on the transmitter (with the throttle at neutral).
2. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the XL-2.5. 
3. Press and release the EZ-Set button to turn the XL-2.5 on. If the LED is 

solid red, then the Low-Voltage Detection is DISABLED (not safe to use 
LiPo batteries). If the LED is solid green, then Low-Voltage Detection is 
ACTIVATED.

To activate Low-Voltage Detection (LiPo setting):

1. Make sure the LED on the XL-2.5 is on and RED.
2. Press and hold the EZ-Set button (the 

LED will turn off) (A). After ten seconds, 
the motor will beep twice and the LED 
will shine GREEN. Release the button (B).

3. Low-Voltage Detection is now ACTIVATED.

To disable Low-Voltage Detection (NiMH setting):

1. Make sure the LED on the XL-2.5 is on and GREEN.
2. Press and hold the EZ-Set button (the 

LED will turn off) (A). After ten seconds, 
the motor will beep three times and the 
LED will shine RED. Release the button (B).

3. Low-Voltage Detection is now DISABLED.

XL-2.5 Setup Programming 

(Calibrating your ESC and transmitter)

Read through all of the programming steps before you begin. If you get 
lost during programming or receive unexpected results, simply unplug the 
battery, wait a few seconds, plug the battery pack in, and start over.  

1. Disconnect one of the motor wires between the XL-2.5 and 

the motor. This is a precaution to prevent runaway when 
the speed control is turned on before it is programmed. 

2. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the XL-2.5. 
3. Turn on the transmitter (with the throttle 

at neutral).

4. Press and hold the EZ-Set button (A). The 

LED will first turn green and then red. 
Release the button. 

5. When the LED blinks RED ONCE, pull the 

throttle trigger to the full throttle position 
and hold it there (B).

6. When the LED blinks RED TWICE, push the 

throttle trigger to the full reverse and hold 
it there (C).

7. When the LED blinks GREEN ONCE, programming is 

complete. The LED will then shine green or red (depending 
on Low-Voltage Detection setting), indicating the XL-2.5 is 
on and at neutral (D). 

XL-2.5 Operation

To operate the speed control and test the programming, reconnect the 
motor wires and place the vehicle on a stable block or stand so that all of the 
driven wheels are off the ground. 
Note that in steps 1-8 below, Low-Voltage Detection is DISABLED (factory default) 
and the LED shines red. If Low-Voltage Detection is ACTIVATED, the LED will shine 
green instead of red in steps 1-8 below. 

Never use LiPo batteries while Low-

Voltage Detection is disabled. 

1. With the transmitter on, press and release the EZ-Set button. The LED will 

shine RED. This turns the XL-2.5 on. If you press and release too quickly, 
you may hear the steering servo jump but the LED may not stay on. Simply 
press the button again until the LED shines RED and then release. 

2. Apply forward throttle. The LED will turn off until full throttle power is 

reached. At full throttle, the LED will shine RED.

3. Move the trigger forward to apply the brakes. Note that braking control is 

fully proportional. The LED will turn off until full braking power is reached. 
At full brakes, the LED will shine RED.

4. Return the throttle trigger to neutral. The LED will shine RED.
5. Move the throttle trigger forward again to engage reverse (Profile #1). The 

LED will turn off. Once full reverse power is reached, the LED will shine RED. 

6. To stop, return the throttle trigger to neutral. Note that there is no 

programmed delay when changing from reverse to forward. Use caution 
to avoid slamming the speed control from reverse to forward. On high-
traction surfaces, this could result in transmission or driveline damage.
