Traxxas 3351 Velineon 3500 - Manual (Page 11)

VELINEON POWER SYSTEM • 11
The following instructions cover installation of the Velineon System in an XL-5 equipped Rustler, Bandit, Stampede, or Slash.
If your vehicle included a YELLOW XL-5 speed control as stock equipment, be aware that your model does NOT
have waterproof electronics. Although the Velineon system is waterproof, operating your model in mud, water, or
snow will damage your vehicle’s servo and receiver. Do NOT operate your model in wet conditions.
The Velineon System is capable of extreme power, and the drivetrain upgrades below are recommended to increase
the performance and durability of the XL-5 equipped model being upgraded to Velineon Power. All of the items listed
as “Minimum recommended upgrades” should be added to your model.
Minimum recommended Yellow XL-5 equipped vehicle component upgrades:
2381X Main diff with steel ring gear/ side cover plate/ screws (Bandit, Stampede, Rustler)
2753X Stub axles, rear (2)
4628R Differential output yokes, black (2)/ 3x5mm countersunk screws (2)/ screw pin (2)
3696
Idler gear, steel (30-tooth)
Additional suggested Yellow XL-5 equipped vehicle component upgrades:
3647
Nuts, 4mm flanged nylon locking (steel, serrated) (8)
3752 Stub axle carriers (2) (requires 5x11x4mm bearings)
3736 Steering blocks, left & right (2) (requires 5x11x4mm bearings)
5116 Ball bearings, blue rubber sealed (5x11x4mm) (2)
If your vehicle included a BLUE XL-5 speed control as stock equipment, this indicates that your vehicle has
waterproof electronics, and you may operate your vehicle in mud, water, and snow after you have installed your
waterproof Velineon brushless speed control and motor system. Make certain batteries and other components of your
model are waterproof or have sufficient water resistance before driving in wet conditions. Follow all maintenance
steps outlined in your vehicle manual after running your vehicle in wet conditions.
Models originally equipped with a BLUE XL-5 speed control are Brushless Ready and feature all of the items shown
above as standard equipment, except Part #5516 ball bearings. The items do not need to be purchased for your model,
but Part #5516 ball bearings remain a suggested upgrade.
