Product Description

Expanded Innovation

Traxxas telemetry changes the game by allowing you to monitor and record real-time data from your vehicle while you drive. Add the GPS module (#6551X) to the water-sealed Telemetry Expander and track the actual speed of your vehicle in real-time! The Telemetry Expander accepts up to six auto-detectable sensors in addition to the three standard Traxxas sensors. There are currently three auto-detectable sensors to select from: voltage, temperature, and GPS. The Traxxas Link application automatically recognizes sensors, so setup takes only a few moments! Advanced communication bus technology allows you to connect the telemetry expander to your TSM receiver (#6533) or to your High-Voltage Power Amplifier (#6590), or directly to the VXL-6s and VXL-8s electronic speed controls with optional data cables. Install the Telemetry Expander, choose your sensors, and prepare for an all-new RC driving experience!

Important Note

The new GPS Module 2.0 (#6551X) and Telemetry Expander 2.0 (#6550X) replace the original Telemetry Expander (#6550) and GPS Module (#6551). The originals are not compatible with the new 2.0 versions.

Easy to Connect

Traxxas models equipped with the TQi radio system

The Telemetry Expander 2.0 connects directly to the TQi receiver using the supplied #6525 communication link cable.

X-Maxx, E-Revo, and Unlimited Desert Racer

Install the Telemetry Expander 2.0 and GPS Module for even more accurate speed measurements compared to the built in speed output from the VXL-6S and VXL-8S electronic speed controls. Plus, add the ability to install additional sensors to monitor parameters such as motor temperature. The Telemetry Expander connects directly to the VXL-6S or VXL-8S electronic speed control using the new Traxxas Data Link Cable #6566 (sold separately). Using the #6566 cable is a plug-and-play solution that conveniently eliminates the need to open the waterproof receiver box to add additional cables.

Vehicles equipped with the #6590 High Voltage power amplifier

The #6590 High Voltage Power supply is used for lighting accessories such as the #8485 off-road lighting set for the Unlimited Desert Racer. The #6550X Telemetry Expander can be conveniently connected directly to the #6590 high voltage power amplifier using the new #6565 Data Link Cable (sold separately). This provides a quick and easy plug-and-play connection without having to open the waterproof receiver box to add additional cables.
