Here's a great design idea to help protect the Traxxas VXL-3S ESC (Traxxas #3355X). It is an electronic speed controller (ESC) cage. The primary speed control shipped with most Traxxas VXL brushless systems has two small mounting tabs holding it in place. Unfortunately, these tabs break quite often, leading to potential damage of an expensive ESC.
The RPM solution is simple and effective. RPM has eliminated the two undersized mounting tabs on the ESC and designed a complete cage system that locks it into place solidly. By completely surrounding the VXL-3S ESC, damage from broken tabs and possible ejection from the vehicle has been eliminated.
The new RPM VXL-3S ESC Cage works perfectly even if both mounting tabs have been broken or cut off! You no longer need to rely on unpredictable adhesives or zip ties to secure your speed controller when this new RPM ESC Cage will lock it in place for you!
Tech Notes: RPM VXL-3S ESC Cages are designed for the Traxxas VXL-3S ESC (Traxxas #3355X) only. While this ESC Cage will fit a variety of applications, it has only been tested and is guaranteed to fit the following vehicles in stock form only Stampede 4x4, Slash 4x4, Slash 2wd & Rally. Also fits the following vehicles as long as Traxxas #3725 Mounting Plate (stock item on VXL models) is used Rustler, Stampede 2wd & Bandit.
