Open the dashboard from the Traxxas Link home screen to view data from telemetry-ready accessories and sensors. The application recognizes installed auto-detectable telemetry sensors for easy setup. Record and save all displayed data to share with friends and other RC enthusiasts. The Telemetry Expander adds even more functionality with up to six additional sensors and the GPS module. Installation is quick and easy utilizing a single high-speed communications cable to the receiver, or to the High-Voltage Power Amplifier or ESC with optional data cables. Unlock a whole new world of convenience and fun with Traxxas telemetry!

Precise GPS-Based Speed

Standard telemetry sensors use your vehicle’s gear ratio and tire size to calculate speed based on RPM. This system works well for hard surfaces, but wheelspin on loose surfaces causes inaccurate speed readings. The Telemetry Expander 2.0 with GPS Module provides the most accurate speed data possible. The GPS Module 2.0 uses both GPS and GLONASS global positioning to deliver precise, real-time speed information via the Traxxas Link App on your TQi Radio System with Traxxas Link Wireless Module.

Easy to Install

The Telemetry Expander 2.0 is easy to install with custom, vehicle specific mounting kits from Traxxas. These mounting kits ensure that the Telemetry Expander 2.0 is secured in the model with a clean and rugged solution that delivers the durability you expect from Traxxas.

Optional telemetry components let you monitor your model's speed,

temperature, and other parameters from your Android or Apple iOS device
