6. Replace the XL-10 Marine speed controller and the two

540 motors with the Traxxas EVX Marine speed controller 
(part #3015) and two Titan 550 marine motors (part#
1585). 

Installing the Traxxas EVX speed controller and two

Titan 550 marine motors into the Villain will double the
voltage (14.4v) to the motors, significantly increasing power.
It’s very important to use the Titan 550 marine motors with
the EVX speed control. The stock 540 motors will overheat
when powered by 14.4 volts. It is recommended to use the
Villain water-cooing kit when using the EVX speed controller
with two Titan marine motors for extra cooling. 

7. Install the Villain water-

cooling kit (part #1580).

The water-cooling kit will
provide significant cooling
to both of the motors.
Extreme heat (as
explained above) can
deteriorate the motors’ performance more rapidly, and
possibly cause failure if the components are allowed to get
too hot. The water-cooling kit is highly recommended when
replacing the two stock 540 motors and XL-10 Marine speed
controller with two Titan 550 motors and the EVX speed
controller or modified motors. It is still very important to
allow the motors to cool down between runs for 15 minutes,
even with the Villain water-cooing kit.
