Key Features

• Plastic Endbell — The endbell is a critical component that houses the rear bearing and contributes to the structural integrity of the motor. A replacement endbell ensures proper alignment of internal components and prevents performance loss caused by damaged or worn original parts.
• 5x11x4mm Ball Bearings (2 pieces) — High-quality ball bearings are essential for smooth motor rotation and efficient power delivery. These precision bearings reduce friction and heat generation, directly contributing to reliable performance and extended motor life. The kit includes two replacement bearings to address the most common wear points in the Velineon 3500 motor.
• 2.5x5mm Button-Head Machine Screws with Threadlock (4 pieces) — These precision fasteners secure critical internal motor components and are supplied with threadlock compound to prevent loosening during operation. Properly secured fasteners maintain motor alignment and prevent catastrophic failure caused by internal component movement.
• Rear Bushing — The rear bushing provides essential support and alignment for the motor shaft, reducing vibration and ensuring smooth operation. A worn bushing can cause performance loss and unusual noise, making this component vital for optimal motor function.
• Genuine Traxxas Component — This is an official Traxxas rebuild kit designed specifically for Velineon 3500 and 540XL motors, ensuring perfect compatibility and OEM-level quality that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
• Complete Maintenance Solution — Unlike purchasing individual replacement parts, this kit provides all the essential wear items needed for a proper motor rebuild in one convenient package, saving time and ensuring nothing is overlooked during maintenance.

Technical Performance

The Velineon 3500 and 540XL brushless motors are renowned for their exceptional power delivery and reliability across the Traxxas RC car UK range. These brushless motors operate at high RPM with minimal friction, delivering consistent torque and speed that serious RC enthusiasts demand. The rebuild kit addresses the components most likely to wear during extended use: the ball bearings that allow the rotor to spin freely, the bushings that maintain proper shaft alignment, and the endbell that houses these critical components. By replacing these wear items, you restore the motor to factory specifications, ensuring the tight tolerances and smooth operation that define Traxxas brushless performance. The precision ball bearings reduce drag and heat generation, the properly aligned bushings prevent shaft runout, and the intact endbell maintains the exact geometry required for optimal magnetic field interaction between rotor and stator. Whether you run 2S, 3S or higher voltage LiPo batteries with your brushless RC vehicle, keeping these components in top condition ensures you're getting maximum efficiency and power transfer. Regular maintenance using this genuine rebuild kit is significantly more cost-effective than replacing an entire motor and helps maintain the speed and acceleration characteristics that make brushless RC cars so satisfying to drive.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What Traxxas vehicles is this rebuild kit compatible with? — This kit is designed for any Traxxas RC car or truck equipped with a Velineon 3500 or 540XL brushless motor. This includes many popular ready to run Traxxas models sold throughout the UK. Check your vehicle's documentation or motor label to confirm which Velineon motor your vehicle uses before purchasing.
• How often should I rebuild my brushless motor? — The frequency depends on usage intensity and environment. Casual weekend bashers might rebuild annually or every 50-100 hours of use, whilst competitive racers may rebuild more frequently. If you notice reduced speed, unusual noises, or increased heat from your brushless motor, it's time to perform a rebuild using this kit.
• Do I need any special tools to perform this rebuild? — Basic RC hobby tools are required, including small screwdrivers, tweezers, and possibly a small socket set depending on your specific motor design. Traxxas provides detailed rebuild instructions with each kit. If you're unfamiliar with motor rebuilds, RC Model Shop staff can provide guidance, and many local RC clubs offer assistance to members.
• Is this a complete motor rebuild kit or just maintenance parts? — This is a maintenance and wear parts kit rather than a complete rebuild kit that includes brushes or windings. It focuses on the mechanical components most subject to wear: bearings, bushings, fasteners and the endbell. For issues with brushes or windings, a complete motor replacement would be necessary.
• Will this kit work with other Traxxas brushless motors? — This kit is specifically designed for Velineon 3500 and 540XL motors. Whilst Traxxas makes other brushless motors in different sizes (like the Velineon 775, 3660 or 4000), they use different internal components. Always verify compatibility with your specific motor before purchasing.
• Can I use aftermarket rebuild kits instead of this genuine Traxxas kit? — Genuine Traxxas components are engineered to OEM specifications and tolerances that directly impact motor performance. Aftermarket alternatives may have slightly different dimensions or materials that compromise performance or longevity. For best results with your brushless RC vehicle, Traxxas genuine parts are recommended.
