Been working good!!

I don't know why other people say it doesn't work. It works with my.Trx4 bronco with The traxxas TQI remote, it has worked seamlessly. Most others say it doesn't work. It works very good. even after updating it, it worked perfectly. which other say it does not work.

Bricked my XMAXX ESC

This app is useless and bricked my xmaxx esc during the update. I thought the esc will break while bashing. I was wrong, the app broke it while the car was sitting in the garage. Now my esc was stuck on infinite update loop!

Un usable

A lot of the main menus cover half the text won’t go away. Can’t even read the options or cycle through them properly because the menu to go back in the way.

Won’t update

Just got the Traxxas Bluetooth module and connected it to my transmitter but for some reason it won’t work. It keeps asking me to do an update and I have done the same update three times now and it keeps asking me to do another update. And that’s really annoying because I had to spend 35 dollars on a little pice of plastic with a light on it an 8th the size of your hand. But over all it is a really good app and it’s Traxxas can fix this it would be really cool app ( they would also make a ton of money from everybody buying the module ). But I still love Traxxas and love a lot of there RC’s. :)

Can wreck your experience

This app needs to be fixed it can absolutely ruin your driving experience, you would think with all the money Traxxas makes they would put some time into their app

Junk transmitters

Just team up with spektrum and start putting them in the boxes. The factory tq remotes and app are junk. I’ve had to convert all my traxxas cars transmitters and receivers.

Broken on current OS

Current version is absolutely broken on current os - changes don’t seem to make any difference in handling back to the remote. Design wise there are UI elements blocking labels and controls. Was always finicky, but this version of the app makes the link module a wasted purchase

Won’t updated

Stuck in a loop, just says update after you just updated. If the goal is to stop everyone from buying Traxxas products, they should achieve their goal in 2 years with this product.

Good app, needs a UI bug fixed

The app is very handy to set up custom profiles. There is a bug on the drive effects screen that cuts off the top line.

My transmitter wouldn’t connect.

When i downloaded the app it looked promising. I selected my rc car model which is a traxxas drag slash. When i tried pairing the transmitter to my phone i realized that I didn’t have the pairing button on the back like the rest. I opened the back of it and still found nothing.after various attempts and reading the instructions on how to link it and multiple YouTube tutorials i eventually gave up after an hour. If anyone can help me figure this out please tell me.

This apps glitchy and full of bugs

It worked for the first day, but then the drive affects is zoomed in and I can’t see the TSM at the top. I contacted Traxxas and they want me to send truck and controller in, but that wouldn’t work because I’d have to send in my phone as well. It’s the app not my phone. I’m on a iPhone 17 Pro Max with the newest update iOS 26.1.

October update messed up some things

The update from late October caused some problems with screens being displayed in proper size.

Almost great

Very cool app that lets you do many vehicle adjustments you can't normally do and the interface works well. I just wish you could customize the gauge cluster more. More gauge faces, custom pointers, and custom backgrounds would rock.

make a video game

so i got my traxxas TRX4 chevy and it’s red please make a game that’s freeroam

Xmaxx receiver update broken

My Xmaxx receiver won’t update; it forces you to update and doesn’t allow you to tap anything in the app until you do. Since then it refuses to update for the past year even after trying all the methods traxxas support has given me. I update, it finishes, it immediately tells me I need the same update… for a year. I pressed “disable” on the update screen after having no telemetry for a year and now the receiver is impossible to update… you can’t force it by manually going to the update screen and refreshing as it doesn’t pop up after pressing disable and now the in app dashboard doesn’t populate. Everything stays as 0 and it’s impossible to fix (apparently). TLDR; this app has a built in button that makes it impossible to update in the future. (which is for some reason required even if everything works fine without it). Updating is broken. It worked fine and didn’t NEED an update but now it’s broken.

Traxxas Link app

The Traxxas Link app is awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome

Beware of new releases

Every release seems to correct one problem and create two. The latest release is so full of bugs Traxxas Support suggested I stop using the software and go back to pushing the set button until the next release is available.

Update your app it’s not 2012 no more

I feel like the app is from 2012

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
