For the uninitiated, prepare yourself... the sheer brutal power combined with the 4-Tec 2.0 VXL chassis four-corner grip results in tire-melting acceleration and lightning fast speed. The Velineon 3s brushless power system features system components that work together as an optimized package, from the patented Traxxas High-Current connector to the custom-wound motor. It's engineered together from the start to deliver the ultimate in efficiency, speed, and run-time along with precision throttle response and refined control. It's brushless performance the Traxxas way: wicked fast and easy to use. Just plug it in and it works, no special knowledge or programming skills required.
Traxxas Stability Management (TSM)Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) lets you experience your 4-Tec 2.0 VXL's extreme power, speed, and acceleration by making it easier to control on slippery surfaces where traction is not ideal. Go ahead, punch it off the line! TSM senses the vehicles direction and makes steering corrections to provide full throttle acceleration without fishtailing or spinouts. When cornering, TSM intuitively corrects the 4-Tec VXL's line for faster exit speeds. TSM even improves braking by keeping the car arrow straight until you reach a complete stop. TSM does all this without intruding on driving fun or introducing unexpected side effects. TSM can be fine-tuned (or turned off) for different surfaces by simply adjusting the multi-function knob on the TQi transmitter, or by adjusting the slider in the Traxxas Link app. Drive faster and have more fun with TSM. You may not even realize how much it is helping until you try to drive without it.
