This powerful governor has impressive features normally found only in more expensive high-end replacement units. The XL-5 features a fully waterproof design, three throttle profiles, undervoltage detection, thermal shutdown protection, compatibility with 4-7 cell NiMH and 2-cell LiPo, and a built-in BEC. High frequency operation combined with ultra-low resistance make the XL-5 an efficient and ultra-smooth fully proportional speed controller. The exclusive and patented Training Mode\u2122 reduces the XL-5&#8217;s overall power by 50%, making it easier for young or new riders to develop their control skills before unleashing full power.
