Velineon 3500 Brushless Motor Instructions
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 solder
tabs for the motor wires are protected from damage by a unique
composite end cap.
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.

using 3x8mm screws and tighten finger
tight (white arrows).
2. Mount the motor pinion to the motor shaft,
make sure to tighten set screw against the
flat portion of the shaft.
3. Set the gear mesh by running a narrow strip
of notebook paper between the pinion and
spur gears. Loosen the motor screws and
slide the motor and pinion gear into the spur
gear. Retighten the motor screws and then
remove the strip of paper.

If you are planning to operate the motor at the
higher limits of its capabilities, cut ventilation
holes into your model's Lexan
temperatures will extend the lives of the batteries
and motors. An on-board temperature gauge
