14 • VELINEON POWER SYSTEM
Velineon System Installation
Some users may wish to experience the power of the
Velineon Brushless Power System in other applications.
Here are some tips:
• The VXL-3s does not use a conventional on/off switch.
Pressing the EZ-Set button on the speed control turns it
on and off. It is not necessary to install an on/off switch
into the wiring harness.
• Mount the speed control so that none of the power
components (wiring, motor, ESC) contacts any part of the
radio system, particularly the antenna wire. The receiver
should be mounted so the antenna wire can be extended
as far away from the speed control as possible. The
antenna wire should be extended vertically in the mast
and not wrapped on the chassis under the body. Excess
antenna wire should not be coiled on the chassis. Servo
cables and the antenna wire should not cross or come
in contact with any of the motor or battery wires. These
steps will help reduce the possibility of radio interference.
• If you are planning to operate the system at the higher
limits of its capabilities, cut ventilation holes into the
body for the heat sinks. Monitoring temperatures will
extend the lives of the batteries and motors and proper
ventilation and cooling will prevent premature thermal
shutdown. There are many options available that will help
you monitor temperatures and cool your components:
Temperature gauge
- An on-board
temperature gauge such as the
Traxxas part #4091 can aid you in
monitoring your motor temperature.
Generally, try to keep your motor
below 200° F.
Heat sink cooling fan
- The VXL-3s
is equipped with an additional
connector to supply power to an
optional heat sink cooling fan. An
optional heat sink cooling fan can assist
in cooling the VXL-3s in high current motor applications.
• Mount the speed control where it will be protected from
crash damage. Also protect the speed control from dirt
and debris kicked up by the tires.
• Mount the speed control where you will have easy access
to the plugs and the on/off (EZ-Set) button without having
to remove the body.
