XL-2.5™ Waterproof FWD/REV ESC

Designed and engineered by Traxxas, the XL-2.5 Electronic Speed Control delivers smooth throttle control in 1/16 scale and smaller models, and is completely waterproof for all-weather R/C driving fun. This high-performance ESC is packed with impressive specifications that are normally only found on more expensive high-end replacement units. The XL-2.5 features three throttle profiles, Thermal Shutdown Protection, 6-8 cell NiMH compatibility, and built-in BEC. High-frequency operation combined with ultra-low resistance make the XL-2.5 an efficient and ultra-smooth fully proportional speed control. The XL-2.5 is manufactured by Traxxas to ensure the highest level of quality and support and is backed by the Traxxas Lifetime Electronics Warranty. Note: the XL-2.5 speed control does not feature Low Voltage Detection and is not compatible with LiPo batteries. 


Traxxas High-Current Connector
The XL-2.5 ESC is equipped with the Traxxas high-current connectors for restriction-free current flow.

Patent-Pending Training Mode™
An exclusive feature that places the XL-2.5 ahead of the pack is the patent pending Training Mode. This feature reduces the overall power output of the XL-2.5 by 50% making it easier for new drivers to control their model.  When they're ready, simply change profiles to unleash full-throttle action. Only Traxxas has it!
