How to Program a Traxxas XL-5 ESC 

Great video Man! I was having problems with my new Traxxas stampede with the esc blinking green. I watched the video and tried it and it works perfectly..

Can you help! This video was great and it helped me understand the XO five speed controller. Thank you very much. But I have an issue. It seems like my 2 Wheel Dr., Traxxas wrestler has higher speed and higher torque in reverse than it does going forward. Any thoughts? Thanks for all your help.

great video thanks a ton!! im getting 2 lipo batteries for my Son-uva Digger 2wd and I didn't even know you needed to change the modes on the ESC thanks again :)

EXCELLENT!!!!! step by step i just wish some of the drone "advocates" knew what they were talking about like that....great help thank you!!!

Great video man! Professional, informative, not dumb or annoying... Mine was blinking Green & Red w/a NiMh battery & ran fine w/a 2S Lipo. Baffleing, so on to RU-vid I went. I was able to switch back to NiMh mode by just repeating the procees that you used to switch into Lipo mode. Good point about using the whole Nimh battery as well. AMain needs to give you a raise... or just hire me, I'll work there for free?! ;) It's looks dreadful :)

NICE,THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL MY STAMPEDE HAD THE GREEN LIGHT ON AND KEPT SHUTTING OFF SO KNOW I CHANGED IT TO THE RED AND I GOT LONGER RUN TIME.

Thank you so much my stampede has been stuck on training mode and i did it axidentaly while replacing my reciever. Thanks again

I've been looking at Traxxas vehicles as converting my HPI Savage .25 to electric would be pricey & make more sense to just get a brand new RTR. The Traxxas Slash 2WD comes with a nimh battery & XL-5 esc, but I wasn't too sure if I could run lipo batteries in the car also. This video helped out alot thanks

Great video straight to the point

This helped me program my Traxxas Slash, ty.

thank you dude it helped me programed my rustler

Thank you. You saved my love for my brushed slash 1/10

Everything i need to know. Got my first traxxas electric. Used to nitro. But anyway, bought lot set of rc's under 300. 1 nitro 4wd drifter, carpet car or pan car, bowie 4x4 truck, rustler with xl-1 and mini e-revo. Been building quite a few rc's over past 5yrs. With these electric ones going to traxxas esc xl-5 . with exception to the carpet car. Wanna go castle. Want this one to be crazy fast. Do have cpl question? What is the motor turn range for the xl-5? Also, is the titan 12t the stock motor for most traxxas with xl-5? What is the real difference between the titan 12t and the stinger 20t and a hpi 27t? Is the 27t usable with xl-5? Great information ty.

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the info, Can you tell me how to get more drag braking? I have a new traxxas bigfoot classic xl5 esc

I have a Traxxas Monster Truck addition now the receiver should that be on 50 50 or 70 30 I'm trying to get this as fast as I can for my son

Someone gave me a Stampede, and I've had to tinker with it a little bit to get it put back together. Now all the parts are connected, the wheels turn when it is turned on, but squeezing the trigger won't make the car move. Can you help me diagnose the problem?

The method to change to lipo works in the bandit model?

great video my question is that I think I ran a nickel batt in lipo mode , I think now how do I reset the esc xl5 , its not running other than the 2 frt wheels turn lft / rgt. no action in the rear. help with answer please

sorry but I'm trying to program this ESC xl5 on my son's monster truck addition I'm getting more speed in reverse then I am forward I did the race mode the training mode but still not getting enough throttle forwards

Just do what you did to put it in lipo mode...turn off esc then press and hold til solid red, then press and hold til the beep and youre good

This dude is much more entertaining than Brett.

good video

What if when you push and hold the button the green light comes on and changes to red then changes back to green and continues to blink? Then you push the button again, no change unless you hold the button for a couple seconds, then shuts off. Is ESC fried, or???

I also heard this XL 5 esc has a trail mode, can you tell me about that. thanks again

My esc tends to not want to reverse and reverses only when it wants to and also I program I to standard mode but it goes extremely slow

How do you put back to NiMH mode?????

will that handle 2s and 3s or just 2s lipos.

Hy AMainHobbiesVideos i have a xl5 bandit, i was driving it in my neighborhood and it stops going sideways, it just goes front and backwards. After a few minutes it doesnt wants to run and neither go sideways. What is happening to my rc?

Thanks. I have one question how come in my trottle forward is reverse and reverse is forward?

Can you set drag brake?

Thanks

How do we reset it

You kinda look like, Mack 10!!

my XLR light is red

Errrr…. How do I make the brakes stronger lol… there basically non existent rn

It will Kill a lipo battery in nickel mode by draining the lipo voltage down too far. You should have mentioned that.

How can i turn off the lipo mode

*****

Hu??

Lipo

All the talk is garbage. Get to the point already!!

You didn't even mention calibrate mode on the XL5. Another video...

At no point do you mention how to program the max forward the max reverse or the neutral section all the rest of the s*** you mentioned is in the instruction manual from traxxas

lol 40 seconds of intro is a bit much.

How do you put back to NiMH mode.

Can i run 3s lipo on it
