of your Traxxas model with stunning visuals and absolute precision. Install 
Traxxas Link telemetry sensors on the model, and Traxxas Link displays 
real-time data such as speed, RPM, temperature, and battery voltage.

powerful tuning options. Control 
Drive Effects settings such as 
TSM assistance percentage; 
steering and throttle sensitivity; 
steering percentage; braking 
strength; and throttle trim by 
simply touching and dragging the 
sliders on the screen.

Real-Time Telemetry

When you equip your model 
with sensors, the Traxxas Link 
dashboard comes to life showing 
you speed, battery voltage, RPM, 
and temperature. Set threshold 
warnings and log maximums, 
minimums, or averages. Use the

your dashboard view, with 
sound, so that you can keep 
your eyes on your driving and 
not miss a single apex.

automatically keeps track of 
what vehicles it has bound to

interface to  name the models, 
customize their settings, attach 
profiles, and lock them into 
memory. Simply choose a model

and start having fun.
