WOW ! I thought those were indestructible!! I even machined the heatsink down on one so it would fit under a buggy body back in the day..Damn these VXL3S ESC’s don’t like me another one died i dont know what happend because I want even driving it but came out and it wasn’t working plugged it in and all the magic smoke came out but have one coming hopefully before Christmas
See the last one I owned was about 2007 Thing was a tank! I kept it in my box for a spare as at the time I was running Novak XBR's ,which were really good at letting the magic smoke out,LOLThere is a reason I left Trx electronics. I found VXL esc unreliable. I had one that even shot black liquid out and puffed my lipo.. I sent so many vxl3s to Traxxas I knew a few workers by name and recognized their voice on the phone. I have 1 Bandit and 2 Stampedes that had vxls from the factory.
It's been around 10 years since I owned one.
Although I broke 3 motors, they seem to be better quality and held up to my abuse.
