The Traxxas TQi 2.4GHz radio system is reliable and easy to use; however, when paired with the Traxxas Link App, it opens the door to a wide range of functions that allow you to tune your vehicle to your personal driving style. The Traxxas Link App and TQi radio system give you the ability to use telemetry. We’re going to look at one specific function—the ability to track speed. We are The Fastest Name in Radio Control, but there are times that it’s nice to know how fast you’re actually going. Using the Traxxas Telemetry GPS Module, you can get accurate real-time feedback of your Traxxas model’s actual speed. This isn’t a scale mile per hour. We’re talking about averaging around highway speeds! Having actual data is better and more reliable than having to guesstimate how fast your model is going. Here are some quick features about the Traxxas Telemetry GPS Module: The GPS module uses Global Positioning Satellites to give you accurate, real-time speed. The speed readout is not affected by your model’s gear ration or tire size. The GPS module is user friendly; quick and easy plug-and-play installation with no programming required. The GPS module is automatically configured by the Traxxas Link App. When installed in the Telemetry Expander, the GPS module is safe from wet conditions. You can run through water, mud, and snow with confidence. To use the GPS Module you will need the following parts/accessories: GPS Module (#6551) Telemetry Expander (#6550) Traxxas Link app (download for free) TQi transmitter with Traxxas Link Wireless Module (#6511); you may also use the Docking Base for previous generation TQi transmitters Source Traxxas: https://traxxas.com/pitpass/hopup/articles/gps-module-support
