Traxxas Link Reviews

Bought Bluetooth module to track battery life and speed, but neither are working on dashboard view.

Everything else works though. Excess setup and fine tuning. Easily switch to training mode. BUT no speed of battery life in dashboard view :(

If I cannot get this fixed/figured out I will return the product and uninstall TraxxasLink.

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.

Just bought the traxxas link Bluetooth module, followed all steps in setting it up and got an error message saying unable to verify the update and to make sure everything is connected.. triple checked everything and tried again.. same issue.. been trying for hours now to see if I can get the firmware on the TSM to update but to no avail. Must be traxxas link software. Please update TraxxasLink to fix this potential bug.

Less than a month old Slash Ultimate in training mode from my son using it last. I went to you use it yesterday, and it needed another update, no problem. Tried yesterday it would not finalize the update. Ran it in training mode, all good. Tried to update last night, again will not finalize. Today nothing works, blinking green all over.
Not pleased Traxxas.

Would not advise buying any Traxxas vehicles. They have all of these great sounding options but they are hard to find and when you do find them they don’t work. I’ve contacted Traxxas to help and all that they suggest is that I send them the equipment at my expense (and I will get it back two weeks from when they get it). I have read many reviews and most have the same story. Buy Horizon!

When TraxxasLink causes your RC to quit working, remove the Bluetooth TQi module from your transmitter and your RC will work again.

After TraxxasLink 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 TraxxasLink 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.

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 TraxxasLink 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

After the last update TSM has stopped working. For a while I could only turn TSM on in TraxxasLink for it to work. If I used the multifunction knob to turn it on it would malfunction now no matter how I turn it on it doesn’t work. Wheels barely turn when activated and servo doesn’t return to center. I turn TSM off it works fine. I am very disappointed because I paid for this separately from my truck and now it doesn’t work. It takes forever for Traxxas to put out updates to fix these problems. I guess customers who spends good money on their products isn’t important enough. smh PLEASE UPDATE TSM!! Thats the reason I bought the Tqi Rx/Tx.

Bizarrely, TraxxasLink immediately inverts my throttle and steering servos when I open TraxxasLink . 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 TraxxasLink looks cool and has a lot of functionality.

I started using TraxxasLink a while ago and I thought TraxxasLink was pretty cool. But now, I change my gearing a lot and I don’t like having to change the drive gear ratio. I always think I put the correct one in and it never is right. Otherwise, TraxxasLink is pretty good.

Not a bad app. Would be cool to have some more skins or design customizations but I connected to my X-Maxx no problem. Seems like different menus let you change the same things (going into garage, drive effects) and I think it could all be integrated into something way more simple. Theres like 3 places where I can adjust the TSM. We should be able to go into a profile and edit all the settings for that specific profile (Instead of making changes and then going into profiles and choosing which specific profile to save those changes to).

I have the same problem with pairing my controller with my phone, an iPhone 7plus iOS 11 and TraxxasLink will open and run and do all of the functions but when you hit the this app wireless module it dose nothing, it’s a bug and I have set my truck in training mode for my sister when it worked and now my slash is stuck at 50% throttle and I have yet to find a way to reset this. Please fix ASAP.

The most recent update caused the temperature to not be displayed on TraxxasLink

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

Maybe you should make a new car that has a heat sensor and the it broadcast the heat and when I gets too hot it should send notifications to your phone like it’s getting to hot and the car beeps loud to and a button to make it stop beeping on the phone

If you are having this trouble, try changing the radio batteries. I did that and the connection came right back. I guess the link is dependent on good batteries.

I downloaded TraxxasLink and tried to connect my stampede with TraxxasLink and it wouldn’t find it. Should this work with different cars or something. Very upset if so😭😭😭😭
Otherwise that TraxxasLink seems very useful👍👍😄

It would be nice if we can label the gauges on the temp because their are 3 different temp motor, esc and battery. Most of the time I usually forget which is which. So I would have to reset it to know for sure.
Other then that I have no problems with TraxxasLink

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 TraxxasLink .

Got a new xmax 8s and down loaded TraxxasLink. Bought the 35 dollar module for the remote and plugged it in. Then opened TraxxasLink and hit the rectangle box that says pair. Said it needed a update so I clicked yes (makes car undrivable during update). It was 2 step update taking 5+ minutes then went into another screen with a 2 step update same as before. After the update it said power off both and I did. Waited few minutes powered them up and it worked I can now see real time speed with out installing anything new into the car. Very pleased:)
