Traxxas Temperature Sensor Mount for Electric Motors TRX6535

Overview

The Traxxas Mount, temperature sensor (electric motors) / wire tie / thermal pad TRX6535 is an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts who want to monitor their electric motor temperatures during operation. Whether you're running a brushless RC car, truck, boat or crawler, maintaining optimal motor temperatures is crucial for performance, longevity and safety. This purpose-designed temperature sensor mount from Traxxas makes it incredibly easy to securely attach a temperature sensor (sold separately) to your brushed or brushless electric motor, giving you real-time thermal data during your runs.

For anyone serious about RC performance in the UK, temperature monitoring is a fundamental aspect of responsible motor management. This compact accessory is designed to work across the entire Traxxas range, from high-speed 1/10 scale vehicles to powerful 1/5 scale machines. The mount uses a thermal pad to ensure accurate sensor readings whilst the included wire clip keeps everything securely in place, so you can focus on driving rather than worrying about sensor stability.

Whether you're a competitive racer pushing your RC vehicle to its limits, a weekend basher enjoying outdoor RC action, or someone new to the RC hobby discovering the world of brushless power, this temperature sensor mount is the practical solution you need. It's particularly valuable for those running high-performance electric motors where thermal management directly impacts reliability and runtime.

Key Features

• Universal Motor Compatibility — This mount works with both brushed and brushless Traxxas electric motors, making it an incredibly versatile accessory that fits across numerous Traxxas models including rock crawlers, short course trucks, rally cars, desert racers, and marine vessels, meaning you won't need multiple mounts for different vehicles.
• Thermal Pad Included — The integrated thermal pad ensures proper thermal contact between the sensor and your motor housing, which is essential for accurate temperature readings and prevents the sensor from slipping or moving around during intense driving sessions.
• Secure Wire Tie Mounting System — The included wire clip provides a simple yet effective mounting solution that holds the temperature sensor firmly in place without requiring tools or modifications to your motor, making installation and removal quick and straightforward.
• Easy Installation — Designed for simple fitment on both brushed and brushless Traxxas motors, this accessory allows you to add temperature monitoring to your existing setup in minutes without complex assembly or specialist knowledge, making it ideal for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels.
• Genuine Traxxas Engineering — As an official Traxxas component, this mount is manufactured to the same quality standards as the rest of the Traxxas product range, ensuring reliability and durability through countless RC sessions.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas temperature sensor mount represents thoughtful engineering specifically tailored for electric motor thermal management in RC vehicles. Unlike makeshift mounting solutions, this purpose-designed accessory provides consistent, reliable temperature readings thanks to the thermal pad that ensures proper contact between the sensor probe and the motor surface. The construction is compact and lightweight, meaning it adds negligible weight to your RC vehicle whilst providing essential functionality. The wire tie system is robust enough to withstand vibration, acceleration and rough terrain, yet simple enough that anyone can install it without technical expertise. Whether you're running brushed or brushless motors in your 1/10 scale RC car, 1/8 scale RC truck, 1/6 scale RC crawler or brushless RC boat, this mount adapts seamlessly. The thermal pad material is specifically chosen to transfer heat efficiently from the motor casing to the sensor probe, ensuring your temperature readings are accurate rather than delayed or inaccurate. This is particularly important when running high-performance brushless setups where motor temperatures can climb quickly under load, and you need real-time data to make informed decisions about throttle management and run duration.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas models is this temperature sensor mount compatible with? — This mount is compatible with a wide range of Traxxas vehicles including the Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL and BL-2S Rally cars, the DCM M41 Catamaran, the Spartan SR VXL and Spartan TSM VXL marine vessels, the TRX-4 Defender 4WD rock crawler, and the UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale truck. However, it's designed to work with any Traxxas model featuring brushed or brushless electric motors, so it offers broad compatibility across the Traxxas range.
• Do I need any tools to install this temperature sensor mount? — No, the wire tie mounting system is tool-free and requires no modifications to your motor. Installation is straightforward and can be completed in minutes, making it accessible to beginners and experienced RC drivers alike.
• Is the temperature sensor included with this mount? — No, the temperature sensor is sold separately. This mount is designed to securely hold a compatible Traxxas temperature sensor (which you'll need to purchase additionally) in the correct position on your motor with the thermal pad ensuring accurate readings.
• Why is accurate temperature monitoring important for RC vehicles? — Temperature monitoring is crucial because it helps you understand how hard your motor is working and whether it's approaching thermal limits. High motor temperatures can reduce performance, shorten motor lifespan, and in extreme cases cause motor failure. By monitoring temperature with this mount, you can adjust your driving style, reduce run duration, or improve cooling to keep your motor in the optimal operating range and extend its life significantly.
• Will this mount work on my brushless RC car? — Yes, this mount is specifically designed to work with brushless electric motors as well as brushed motors, making it suitable for modern high-performance brushless RC cars, trucks, buggies and boats throughout the Traxxas range.
• What is the thermal pad for? — The thermal pad creates an interface between the temperature sensor probe and your motor housing, ensuring efficient heat transfer so the sensor provides accurate temperature readings. Without proper thermal contact, your temperature readings would be inaccurate or delayed, making the thermal pad an essential component of reliable temperature monitoring.
