XL-10 Electronic Speed Control (land version, fwd/rev/brake, 150 amp) Logo
overview

Powerful 10-turn Motor Limit!

Traxxas’ XL-10™ 7.2-volt electronic speed control is the muscle car of reversing speed controls. It’s built from the ground up to pack a serious punch and flows rivers of hardcore power. The XL-10 harnesses that current with smooth, precise full-proportional control of your forward/reverse speed and the powerful brakes. It features three easy-to-program drive profiles and EZ-Set® push-button setup. Efficient high-frequency operation, MOSFET transistors, and thermal shutdown protection allow a generous 10-turn motor limit. The same low-loss design that puts down the power also provides longer run times. Note: the XL-10 speed control does not feature Low Voltage Detection and is not compatible with LiPo batteries.

Patent-Pending Training Mode™
An exclusive feature that places the XL-10 ahead of the pack is the patent pending Training Mode. This feature reduces the overall power output of the XL-10 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!
