Thank you for purchasing the Velineon ™
3500 sensorless brushless motor.
The Velineon 3500 brushless motor is
precision-matched for use in 1/10th scale
Traxxas models, delivering the perfect
balance of brutal horsepower and long
run times. Smooth-running performance
is built in with ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets,
high-speed ball bearings, and a precision balanced rotor.
The Velineon 3500 can be used with many after-market brushless
electronic speed controls, but is designed to work with the Traxxas
VXL-3s Electronic Speed Control for optimal speed and efficiency.
The key to the Velineon’s extreme power output is total system
optimization. Each component is carefully engineered to work with
the other system components to eliminate restriction and allow
maximum power flow.

If you are planning to operate the motor at the higher limits of its
capabilities, cut ventilation holes into your model’s Lexan ® body.
Monitoring temperatures will extend the lives of the batteries and
motors. To accurately monitor motor temperature and prevent
overheating, a telemetry temperature sensor (part #6523) can be
installed on the motor to continually monitor temperature as you
drive. Generally, try to keep your motor below 200° F.
