Traxxas Link

Thank you❤️

I had some issues with my servo acting up after initial startup. Figured it might be voltage related, the Traxxas link was easy to install, updates available on the controller and TSM was done rather quick, fixed my issue with the firmware updates. I was able to see a few info, temp, voltage, speed/rpm. Plenty for my needs and works great with the app.

I have a traxxas TRX 4 and I hooked everything up and I have very hot summer days about 110 a day to 100 and the battery voltage and speed and the motor temperature would not work… I also I have very decked out trx4 it may be because that I have the long arm kit and lights and costum bulky bumper I built my self. If I was you don’t get the app if you need theses things things.. NOW if you need it for races and all of that get it it’s spot on and it’s not very expensive

Updated only 1 of two updates, left my xmaxx with all green and red lights flashing, unable to do anything but steer. It kept giving me fail to update errors, be warned… if you update and only does half the update ur screwed. I’ll be calling them in the morning to hopefully solve this, then I’ll update my current review & hopefully tell ya if it was solved & how.

When this app causes your RC to quit working, remove the Bluetooth TQi module from your transmitter and your RC will work again. After the app updated the firmware on my TQi module in the transmitter, the RC no longer worked. ESC (VXL3) was flashing throttle trim error, receiver was flashing low voltage error. I contacted traxxas support and they said I needed to buy another receiver for my RC, but I could use their “lifetime warranty” to buy another one. They offered no other suggestion other than to spend more money with them. There is no way to get an old version of the app or an old firmware version according to traxxas. I removed the Bluetooth TQi chip from my transmitter and my RC worked again… indicating the problem is with traxxas firmware and not the receiver. Hopefully traxxas doesn’t sue me for this review like they do other people that review their products.

So I got the Link module a few days ago, for a few reasons. First, so I could set the steaming endpoints on my models (because when I try to use the TQi programming system on the transmitter, it makes the servo go haywire. Second, so I could run my models from the same transmitter without having to deal with the aforementioned TQi programming system. And lastly, so I could put telemetry on my Hoss to keep track of the motor temperature on hot days, since I don’t have the spare money to burn up a motor. I haven’t gotten the telemetry yet, so I can’t attest to how well it works, but so far the experience has been pretty good. The steering endpoints set without much problem, and it’s cool that I can now fiddle with different settings that were unavailable before (like throttle trim). My one issue I have with the app is the fact that there is no picture for the Bigfoot. I have two models: A 2 1/2 year old Traxxas Bigfoot, and a practically brand new Traxxas Hoss. Every other vehicle (including the discontinued E-Maxx) have their own picture, but for the Bigfoot there is nothing. It’s really weird and something I hope Traxxas will fix.

Forced me to update VXL6s and failed 2 of 2. Now I have to acceleration. Keeps failing, so basically my $600 truck is useless now.

It will not delete old models off of my vehicle list I deleted all inactive ones and every time I close and re open the app it brings it back. It’s VERY annoying but only thing wrong with the app. Very helpful with end point adjustments on servos. Please fix this

Bizarrely, this app immediately inverts my throttle and steering servos when I open the app. Nobody can explain why, so I’m not able to use it at all. Need to manually reverse the servos every time which is obviously a huge pain. Needs fixing. Two stars instead of one because the app looks cool and has a lot of functionality.

Where is the XRT in the app?
