Motor Options
The VXL-3s electronic speed control is capable of
controlling brushed, brushless, and sensored brushless
motors. The VXL-3s auto-detects the motor type and has
numerous built-in safeguards to prevent damage from
miswiring or damaged wiring.
Sensored brushless motors
The VXL-3s is fully compatible with sensored brushless
motors. Sensor motors use an additional sensor installed
in the motor to communicate rotor position to the speed
control. The VXL-3s features a covered auxiliary port that
accepts aftermarket motor sensors on the front face of the
unit. The VXL-3s has built-in Sensor
Motor Backup Protection to prevent
damage if the sensor leads or phase
leads become disconnected. If a
sensor lead becomes damaged

or is disconnected, the VXL-3s automatically switches to
sensorless brushless operation. The VXL-3s also features
Sensor Phase Detection. When a sensored brushless motor
is connected, the VXL-3s will check for proper wiring. If the
motor phase wiring is incorrect, the VXL-3s will not apply
power to the motor until it is wired correctly.
Brushed motors
For the ultimate in versatility, the VXL-3s has no motor
limit when used with a brushed motor. This allows you
to use any readily available 540 or 550 size brushed
motors in your VXL-3s equipped vehicle. Always be
sure to follow all break in and maintenance instructions
set forth by the motor manufacturer. The VXL-3s
automatically detects what kind of motor it is connected
to so no programming actions are required to use
brushed motors. Simply be sure to properly connect the
motor to the speed control as shown.
