Pro-Level Response from the Tamiya Volac Brushless BL2 ESC

Designed for racers who demand crisp control, the Tamiya Volac Brushless BL2 ESC combines fine throttle response with durable construction. Its race history includes use by Marc Rheinard at the 2008 IRMAR World Championship, showing it can perform at the highest level.

Ten Power Modes for Tuned Output

The BL2 offers 10 configurable power modes so you can tailor acceleration curves and torque delivery to suit tight circuits or loose surfaces. Adjusting profiles makes it easy to adapt to different tyres and track conditions.

Adjustable Braking and Strong Heat Control

With 10 automatic brake adjustments, you can control the neutral-throttle braking effect to match your driving style. The ESC also benefits from a design focused on heat dispersion, and the supplied fan helps keep temperatures in check during extended sessions.

Styled Metal Casing with Protection

Encased in a blue metal plated shell bearing the Tamiya logo, the Volac BL2 looks the part while shielding the electronics from impact and dust encountered during hard running.

Specifications

  • Power Profiles: 10 adjustable settings
  • Brake Settings: 10 adjustable levels
  • Cooling: Advanced design for optimal heat management
  • Design: Blue metal plated case with Tamiya logo
  • Contents: ESC unit, detachable cooling fan, screws, sensor wire, tie-wraps, double-sided tape
  • Compatibility: Sensored brushless motors only

The Volac BL2 is best in the hands of those who understand motor timing and ESC setup. When tuned correctly it delivers predictable power and reliable temperature control across long runs.

Yes, it is compatible with sensored brushless touring motors, though you should verify the sensor connector and wiring are fitted correctly.
Use one of the lower power profiles to soften throttle response during practice; this helps conserve tyres and makes the car easier to handle while learning a track.
The BL2 is not specified as waterproof, so avoid running in heavy wet conditions unless you add proper sealing and protect the connectors and fan.
Mount the fan where it can push air across the ESC body without obstructing wiring; secure it with the supplied screws and use the tie-wraps to keep cables tidy.
