How do I reset my VXL-3s ESC?
With the VXL-3s off, press and hold the EZ-Set button until the LED turns solid green, then solid red and then begins blinking red (indicating the Profile numbers). 3. When the LED blinks red three times, release the EZ-Set button.
How do you calibrate a Traxxas VXL-3s?
ESC Setup Programming (Calibrating your ESC and transmitter)
- Connect a fully charged battery pack to the ESC.
- Turn on the transmitter (with the throttle at neutral).
- Press and hold the EZ-Set button (A).
- When the LED blinks RED ONCE, pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle position and hold it there (B).
What does it mean when my ESC blinks red?
Your Traxxas ESC blinking red may indicate thermal shutdown protection has kicked in to prevent overheating. Another possibility is that LiPo battery voltage is nearing its minimum discharge level. On some ESCs, flashing red light means there’s been a current spike.
Why is my ESC not calibrating?
Ensure your transmitter’s flight mode switch is set to “Stabilize Mode”. Give a small amount of throttle. All motors should spin at about same speed and they should start at the same time. If the motors do not all start at the same time and spin at the same speed, the ESC’s are still not properly calibrated.
Why is my Traxxas ESC not working?
You may need to reprogram the ESC for proper operation. Check the connector that plugs into channel #2 on the receiver to make sure that it’s tight. Test, replace, or Return the receiver to Traxxas for service.
Why is my Traxxas ESC blinking red and green?
A Traxxas ESC that’s flashing red and green is giving an over-voltage warning. It usually indicates the connection of an overcharged battery to the ESC. It can also happen when trying to use a NiMH battery if the ESC is in Low-Voltage Detection (LVD) or LiPo battery mode.
Can the vxl-3s control a sensorless brushless motor?
The VXL-3s electronic speed control is capable of controlling sensorless brushless motors. The VXL-3s auto-detects the motor type and has numerous built-in safeguards to prevent damage from miswiring or damaged wiring. Sensorless brushless motors
What should I do if my vxl-3s is not working?
• Check to see if VXL-3s is in Profile #3 (50% throttle) • Bad battery or motor. Check the operation with known good battery and motor. • Incorrect transmitter or speed control adjustment. Refer to the Transmitter Setup and VXL-3s Setup Programming sections. • VXL-3s is in Thermal Shutdown Protection.
How do I install the speed control on the vxl-3s?
The VXL-3s can also be installed in the chassis with double-sided servo tape (part #1589, sold separately). When mounting the speed control with double-sided servo tape, clean both application surfaces thoroughly with alcohol. The surfaces must be perfectly clean for maximum adhesion.
What is low-voltage detection on the vxl-3s?
The Velineon VXL-3s electronic speed control is equipped with built-in Low-Voltage Detection that alerts the driver when LiPo batteries have reached their minimum voltage (discharge) threshold. It is the driver’s responsibility to stop immediately to prevent the battery pack from being discharged below its safe minimum threshold.
