7. To turn the XL-2.5 off, press and hold the EZ-Set button for 1½ seconds or

until the red LED turns off.

8. The XL-2.5 is equipped with thermal shutdown protection to guard against

overheating caused by excessive current ﬂow. If the operating temperature

exceeds safe limits, the XL-2.5 will automatically shut down. The LED on the

face of the XL-2.5 will rapidly blink red, even if the throttle trigger is moved

back and forth. Once the temperature returns to a safe level, the XL-2.5 will

once again function normally.

XL-2.5 Proﬁle Selection

The speed control is factory set to Sport Mode (100% forward, brakes, and

reverse). To disable reverse (Race Mode) or to allow 50% power (patented

Training Mode), follow these steps. The speed control should be connected to

the receiver and the transmitter adjusted as described previously. The profiles

are selected by entering the programming mode.

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: 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, 100% Reverse)

1. Connect a fully charged battery

pack to the XL-2.5 and turn on your

transmitter.

2. With the XL-2.5 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 ONCE,

release the EZ-Set button.

4. The LED will blink and then turn solid green (Low-Voltage Detection ACTIVE)

or red (Low-Voltage Detection DISABLED). The model is ready to drive.

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

1. Connect a fully charged battery

pack to the XL-2.5 and turn on your

transmitter.

2. With the XL-2.5 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 TWICE,

release the EZ-Set button.

4. The LED will blink and then turn solid green (Low-Voltage Detection ACTIVE)

or red (Low-Voltage Detection DISABLED). The model is ready to drive.

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

1. Connect a fully charged battery

pack to the XL-2.5 and turn on your

transmitter.

2. With the XL-2.5 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.

4. The LED will blink and then turn solid green (Low-Voltage Detection ACTIVE)

or red (Low-Voltage Detection DISABLED). 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 the button is released and a Mode

is selected.

LED Codes and Protection Modes

• Solid Green: XL-2.5 power-on light. Low-Voltage Detection is ACTIVATED

(LiPo setting).

• Solid Red: XL-2.5 power-on light. Low-Voltage Detection is DISABLED

(NiCad/NiMH setting). Never use LiPo batteries while Low-Voltage

Detection is disabled.

• Fast Blinking Red: The XL-2.5 is equipped with thermal shutdown protection

to guard against overheating caused by excessive current ﬂow. If the

operating temperature exceeds safe limits, the XL-2.5 will automatically shut

down. Let the XL-2.5 cool. Make sure your model is properly geared for the

conditions.

• Slow Blinking Red (with Low-Voltage Detection on): The XL-2.5 has entered

Low-Voltage Protection. When the battery voltage begins to reach the

minimum recommended discharge voltage threshold for LiPo battery packs,

the XL-2.5 will limit the power output to 50% throttle. When the battery

voltage attempts to fall below the minimum threshold, the XL-2.5 will shut

down all motor output. The LED on the speed control will slowly blink red,

indicating a low-voltage shutdown. The XL-2.5 will stay in this mode until a

fully charged battery is connected.

• Fast Blinking Green: The XL-2.5’s LED will blink fast green if the speed

control is not receiving a signal. Make certain the speed control is properly

plugged into the receiver and the transmitter is switched on.

• Flashing Red and Green:

The

XL-2.5

has entered Over Voltage Protection. If a

battery with too high voltage (3S LiPo) is used, the

XL-2.5

will go into a failsafe

mode. The XL-2.5 is only compatible with 2S LiPo.

ADJUSTING THE ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL

*Patented

Patented 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.
