positive, the black wire is negative, and the white wire
is the control wire.
Warning
: On some older Airtronics
®
radio systems, the positive and negative terminals
are opposite of the VXL-3s and an adapter is required.
Crossing the red (+) and black (-) wires could damage the
receiver and the VXL-3s. Study the manufacturer’s wiring
diagrams closely, or consult your hobby dealer.
Low-Voltage detection Setting
The Velineon VXL-3s 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 VXL-3s will limit the power output
to 50% throttle. When the battery voltage attempts to
fall below the minimum threshold, the VXL-3s will shut
down all motor output. The LED on the speed control will
slowly blink red, indicating a low voltage shutdown. The
VXL-3s will stay in this mode until a fully charged battery is
connected. The electronic speed control is factory set with
Low-Voltage Detection turned on. Low-Voltage Detection
can be turned off for a slight increase in run-time when
using NiMH batteries. Traxxas recommends leaving Low
Voltage Detection on at all times. When Low Voltage
Detection interrupts driving, NiMH batteries will already
be at the end of their useful charge and voltage will be
decreasing rapidly. Never use LiPo batteries while Low-
Voltage Detection is turned off.
Verify that Low-Voltage Detection is turned on:
1.
Turn on the transmitter (with the throttle at neutral).
2.
Connect a fully charged battery pack to the VXL-3s.
3.
Press and release the EZ-Set button to turn the VXL-3s
on. If the LED is solid green, then
Low-Voltage Detection is ON). If the LED is solid red, then
the Low-Voltage Detection is OFF (not safe to use LiPo
batteries).
To turn Low-Voltage Detection off (NiMH setting):
1.
Make sure the LED on the VXL-3s is
on and green.
2.
Press and hold the EZ-Set button
for ten seconds. The LED will
turn off and then light red. Also,
a “falling” musical tone will be
emitted from the motor.
3.
Low-Voltage Detection is now OFF.
