Precise GPS-Based Speed

TQi Expander 2.0 (#6550X) with GPS Speed Telemetry Module 2.0 (#6551X) Installed (Three-Quarter View)
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.

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.
