Works great on the Maxx V2
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.

Ok 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

Decent but can majorly improve for crawlers, trail trucks and scalpers.
Works as advertised, pretty easy setup and straightforward to use.
My issues with it are just personal preference. For example with the trx4, or other multi channel trucks, as well as running the pro lighting systems, I feel the dashboard could use a little more direct functionality.
Examples, would be being able to add switches direct in the dashboard for switching servos between normal and reversed. (Diff lockers) yes I know there's a switch on my TX, but many times I want to lock just my rear diff. But I'm set up as full open, front lock, full lock.
And change up the lighting controls so we can switch between blinkers or hazards on and off without having to pull the body and push the button on the module itself. Even just being able to switch lighting from the 3 presets right on the dashboard would be nice.

X-maxx 8s esc update 1of2 failed
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.

Updates cause your RC to fail
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.

New update is bad
The new update has bricked my transmitter for my Trx4 …. Had no problems before until the latest update and now the controller no longer turns on or links with the reciever
Great App, but a few odd things
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.

Bring back the original
I want the old version of the app, the one that suits my remote with the docking station.
No TRX4M Support?
App works OK, I’ve used it on my TRX4 with no problems but I’ve tried to use it on my new TRX4M and the model isn’t recognised by the app! Come on Traxxas!! The TRX4M has been out since last year and it’s still not on the app?
Connection
This app is in need of a lot of work,updated and now won’t link up😡
