Whether you just got your first Traxxas or you're looking to hit the track, understanding your Electronic Speed Control ESC is key. In this video, I walk you through the simple steps to toggle between the three built-in driving profiles on both the Standard XL-5 and the VXL-3s Brushless systems.
What You’ll Learn: We dive into the "One-Button" programming method to access: 1. Sport Mode (Mode #1): 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, 100% Reverse. 2. Race Mode (Mode #2): 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, No Reverse (Required for most RC tracks). 3. Training Mode (Mode #3): 50% Forward, 100% Brakes, 50% Reverse (Perfect for kids or learning to handle a new 3S setup!).
Quick Reference Guide:
- 1 Green Flash: Sport Mode
- * 2 Green Flashes: Race Mode
- * 3 Green Flashes: Training Mode
Pro Tip: Always make sure your transmitter is ON before you start programming your ESC!
