Traxxas XL5 Waterproof Brushed Speed Controller ( ESC ) TRX3018R
The Traxxas XL-5 Waterproof Brushed Speed Controller (TRX3018R) delivers smooth, fully proportional throttle control with a rugged, water-sealed design. Engineered by Traxxas, it combines ultra-low resistance, high-frequency operation and a built-in BEC to keep your electric RC model responsive in all conditions.
Three selectable throttle profiles include the patented Training Mode for new drivers, while two-stage low-voltage detection supports LiPo use. Clear EZ-Set push-button setup, a multi-colour LED and thermal shutdown protection make day-to-day running straightforward and reliable.
