Stampede®
has always been the first name in monster truck fun, but with Velineon®
brushless power on board , the ground-pounding, high-speed wheelie popping
antics are completely over-the-top. The included wheelie bar keeps the altitude
in check but with this kind of power, the wheelies don’t stop just because your
going over 50mph. If you have you're nerve, and the skill, the fun is just
getting started! With a top speed of over 65mph, the Velineon Brushless Power
System is designed to let you explore the outer limits of what’s possible with
brushless. Chances are you’ve never experienced throttle response and speed like
this in a monster truck. Tough and unbelievably fast, Stampede is the ultimate
play truck that’s always at hand, ready for instant R/C fun. No matter what kind
of R/C racing you’re into, a Stampede VXL belongs in your arsenal.
Stampede was the first high-performance monster truck and now Stampede VXL is
setting new, previously unthinkable speed benchmarks. The world of electric
monster trucks will never be the same!
Out of the box, the Velineon Brushless Power System is optimized to put down
the rock-crushing torque, massive horsepower, and precision throttle response
you expect from brushless. Most of all, it’s brushless done the Traxxas way:
brutally fast and easy to use. Just plug it in and satisfy your need for extreme
horsepower.
The Velineon Brushless Power system takes the guesswork out of enjoying the
benefits of world-class brushless power. The system components work together as
an optimized package, engineered from the start to deliver the ultimate in
efficiency, speed, and run time. With the Stampede VXL, your battery selection
determines your speed and skill level. Velineon accepts the widest range of
battery types, including the latest 3-cell Lithium Polymer packs (3S LiPo
packs). These packs pump out over 11 volts of power for intense, skill level 5
speeds beyond 65mph! Nothing else even comes close. Built-in low-voltage
detection in the VXL-3s™ Electronic Speed Control conveniently helps you
maintain your LiPo battery packs in top condition.
The
quest for ultimate speed began with the battery connector. As today’s batteries
store more and more energy inside their cells, traditional battery connectors
became a roadblock, unable to deliver all the energy the battery is capable of
outputting. The new Traxxas High-Current Connector and Maxx® Cable 12-gauge wire
opens the door for unrestricted current flow.
The
Velineon 3500 Brushless Motor is precision-matched for use in the 1/10th scale
Stampede, delivering the perfect balance of brutal horsepower and efficiency.
The sensorless design works with the sophisticated circuitry in the VXL-3s
Electronic Speed Control for smooth starts and precise control, without the need
for additional sensors and wiring. Since there are no brushes or commutator to
cause friction and wear, Velineon brushless power is always full of muscle, run
after run.
The
Velineon VXL-3s forward/reverse electronic speed control simplifies brushless
technology with easy operation that gives you all the control you need for
maximum fun. Quickly choose from 3 drive profiles in exactly the same manner as
other Traxxas electronic speed controls (such as the XL-5). Profiles include:
Sport, Race, and Training Mode (patent pending). Training Mode™ limits
full-throttle power to 50% allowing young or new drivers to safely develop their
control skills before unleashing the full-throttle capability of the Velineon
system. Stampede VXL’s performance can be tailored for drivers of any age and
experience. High-frequency transistors and advanced circuit design deliver
incredibly smooth and refined throttle control. With the VXL-3s you have the
flexibility to use conventional brushed motors, brushless motors, and sensored
brushless motors. The VXL-3s auto detects the motor type for you. High-current
capacity (320 amps peak) and two-stage thermal protection frees you from motor
limits.
The
Stampede VXL is equipped to handle serious horsepower with features such as the
advanced Revo®-Spec Torque-Control™ slipper clutch. The patent-pending design
delivers smooth operation, precise adjustment, and consistent traction control,
even when tortured with massive amounts of horsepower. New upgrades to the
Stampede VXL include high-grade hex hardware, precision metal turnbuckle links
with heavy-duty rod ends, and larger 5x11mm rubber-sealed ball bearings at the
wheels. The transmission is beefed-up as well with tough new steel gears. With
its huge monster truck tires, the Stampede VXL benefits most from the all-new
digital high-torque steering servo. 125 in-oz of torque deliver lightning-quick
steering response with confidence-inspiring precision.
The Stampede VXL is 100% Ready-To-Drive® right out of the box with the TQ™
2-channel radio system, and the Velineon Brushless Power System. Just take the
Stampede VXL out of the box, charge up a battery, and go have fun! Stampede VXL
is the ultimate thrill ride that is perfect for monster bashing or
wheelie-popping madness. Hot new Stampede VXL graphics combine with the
black-chrome wheels for a mean monster truck stance.
