ESC Proﬁle Selection

The speed control is factory set to Proﬁle #1. To change the proﬁle,

follow the steps on described on the next page. The speed control

should be connected to the receiver and battery, and the transmitter

should be adjusted as described previously. The proﬁles are selected

by entering the programming mode.

ESC Proﬁle Description

Proﬁle #1 (Sport Mode): 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, 100% Reverse

Proﬁle #2 (Race Mode): 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, No Reverse

Proﬁle #3 (Training Mode): 50% Forward, 100% Brakes, 50% Reverse

Selecting Sport Mode (Proﬁle #1)

1. Connect a fully charged battery

pack to the ESC and turn on

your transmitter.

2. With the ESC off, press and hold

the EZ-Set button until the light

turns solid green, then solid red

and then begins blinking red

(indicating the Proﬁle numbers).

3. When the light blinks red once, release the EZ-Set button.

4. The light will then turn red and the model is ready to drive.

Selecting Race Mode (Proﬁle #2)

1. Connect a fully charged battery

pack to the ESC and turn on

your transmitter.

2. With the ESC off, press and hold

the EZ-Set button until the light

turns solid green, then solid red

and then begins blinking red

(indicating the Proﬁle numbers).

3. When the light blinks red twice, release the EZ-Set button.

4. The light will then turn red and the model is ready to drive.

Selecting Training Mode* (Proﬁle #3)

1. Connect a fully charged battery

pack to the ESC

and turn on your transmitter.

2. With the ESC off, press and hold

the EZ-Set button until the light

turns solid green, then solid red

and then begins blinking red

(indicating the Proﬁle numbers).

3. When the light blinks red three times, release the EZ-Set button.

4. The light will then turn red and the model is ready to drive.

Note: If you missed the mode you wanted, keep the EZ-Set button

pressed down and the blink cycle will repeat until a Mode is selected.

LiPo Battery Mode with Low-Voltage Detection

The VXL-3m ESC is equipped with built-in Low-Voltage Detection

for safe use with Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries. 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-3m

will limit the

power output to 50% throttle. When the battery voltage attempts to fall

below the minimum threshold, the

VXL-3m

will shut down all motor

output. The LED on the speed control will slowly blink red, indicating a

low-voltage shutdown. The

VXL-3m

will stay in this mode until a fully

charged battery is connected. The electronic speed control is factory

set with Low-Voltage Detection disabled. Be certain to activate Low-

Voltage Detection if you install LiPo batteries in your model.

To activate Low-Voltage Detection (LiPo setting):

1. Make sure the LED on the ESC is on and red.

2. Press and hold the EZ-Set button for ten seconds. The LED will

turn off and then light green. Also, a “rising” musical tone will be

emitted from the motor.

3. Low-Voltage Detection is now ACTIVATED.

To disable Low-Voltage Detection (NiMH setting):

1. Make sure the LED on the ESC 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 DISABLED.

Never use LiPo batteries while Low-Voltage Detection is disabled.

Patent Pending Training

Mode (Proﬁle #3) reduces

forward and reverse throttle

by 50%. Training Mode

is provided to reduce the

power output allowing

beginning drivers to better

control the model. As driving

skills improve, simply change

to Sport or Race Mode for

full-power operation.

Tip For Fast Mode Changes

The ESC is set to Proﬁle 1

(Sport Mode) as the default.

To quickly change to Proﬁle 3

(Training Mode), with the

transmitter on and the ESC

turned off, press and hold

the SET button until the light

blinks red three times and then

release. For full power, turn off

the ESC then quickly change

back to Proﬁle 1 (Sport

Mode) by pressing and

holding the SET button until

the light blinks red one time

and then releasing.
