Designed and manufactured by Traxxas, the world's leading RC technology company, this telemetry magnet holder integrates seamlessly with the TQi™ radio system, the 6511 Traxxas Link™ Wireless Module, and the free Traxxas Link mobile app to create a comprehensive telemetry ecosystem. Unlike basic RC cars that offer only surface-level information, this system gives you unprecedented insight into what your vehicle is doing in real time. The magnet holder is engineered to precision standards and includes everything you need to get started with telemetry monitoring on your RC model, making it an absolute must-have for anyone serious about maximising their RC car UK experience.

Key Features

• Precision 5x2mm Magnet — The compact magnet included in this package is specifically engineered to trigger the RPM sensor mounted on your vehicle, providing reliable, consistent data transmission to your TQi radio system without interference or dropped signals, ensuring you always get accurate speed and RPM readings.
• Secure Spur Gear Mounting — The magnet holder attaches directly to your vehicle's spur gear, the optimal position for capturing real-time rotational data that translates directly into speed and motor performance metrics displayed live on your mobile device through the Traxxas Link app.
• Dual Scale Compatibility — This package includes both smaller 1/16 scale magnet holder and larger 1/10 scale magnet holder, making it compatible with a wide range of Traxxas RC vehicles from compact crawlers to full-size basher trucks, expanding your options when upgrading multiple models in your collection.
• Complete Hardware Package — All necessary mounting screws are included with this product (3x8mm and 3x10mm screws in two sets), eliminating the need for additional purchases and ensuring you have everything required for installation straight out of the box.
• Traxxas Link Ecosystem Integration — This telemetry magnet holder is specifically designed to work with the TQi™ radio, 6511 Traxxas Link™ Wireless Module and the free Traxxas Link app, creating a unified telemetry system that provides real-time data streaming to your smartphone or tablet for advanced vehicle monitoring.
• Real-Time RPM Monitoring — Combined with an RPM sensor, this magnet holder enables live RPM data transmission, allowing you to track motor performance, identify acceleration patterns, and diagnose drivetrain issues with precision that standard speed indicators simply cannot provide.
• Real-Time Speed Data — The telemetry system displays current speed, average speed, and maximum speed achieved, giving you comprehensive speed analytics that help you optimise your driving technique and understand vehicle performance across different terrain and conditions.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Telemetry Trigger Magnet Holder represents precision engineering at its finest, combining robust mechanical construction with electromagnetic reliability. The 5x2mm magnet is engineered to trigger the vehicle's RPM sensor with absolute consistency, eliminating measurement errors and ensuring that the data displayed on your mobile device through the Traxxas Link app reflects exactly what's happening with your motor and drivetrain in real time. The dual-scale design—featuring both 1/16 and 1/10 scale magnet holders—demonstrates Traxxas's commitment to compatibility across their entire vehicle range. The included mounting hardware (3x8mm and 3x10mm screws) is precision-cut stainless steel, resistant to corrosion and designed for secure, vibration-proof attachment even during intense bashing sessions or high-speed track racing. The magnet itself maintains its magnetic field strength across a wide temperature range, crucial for consistent performance whether you're running your RC vehicle in summer heat or cooler UK weather conditions. Installation requires only basic tools and takes minutes to complete, with the mounting design allowing for precise alignment with the spur gear for optimal sensor triggering. This telemetry component works exclusively with Traxxas TQi™ radio systems equipped with the 6511 Traxxas Link™ Wireless Module, establishing a wireless connection that streams performance data to your mobile device with minimal latency, typically updating multiple times per second for real-time feedback. The system has been field-tested across countless RC vehicles and driving conditions, proving its durability and reliability in both casual backyard bashing and competitive racing environments throughout the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is telemetry and why do I need it on my RC car? — Telemetry is the real-time transmission of performance data from your RC vehicle to your mobile device, allowing you to monitor exact RPM, speed, battery voltage, temperature and other critical metrics as you drive. Unlike guessing based on feel and sound, telemetry gives you concrete data that helps you optimise your vehicle setup, diagnose performance issues, and improve your driving technique through measurable feedback.
• Is this telemetry magnet holder compatible with all Traxxas vehicles? — This product is compatible with any Traxxas 1/16 or 1/10 scale vehicle equipped with a TQi™ radio and the ability to add the 6511 Traxxas Link™ Wireless Module. The package includes both 1/16 and 1/10 scale magnet holders, so you can use it across multiple vehicles in your collection. Compatibility includes RC boats like the Spartan series, as well as trucks and buggies—check your specific model's documentation to confirm telemetry support.
• What do I need to get telemetry working on my RC vehicle? — To use this magnet holder for telemetry, you'll need: this magnet holder (TRX6534), an RPM sensor, a Traxxas TQi™ radio with the 6511 Traxxas Link™ Wireless Module installed, a compatible smartphone or tablet, and the free Traxxas Link mobile app. Once all components are connected and configured, real-time data will stream to your device during driving.
• Does this magnet holder work with other radio systems or brands? — No, this telemetry magnet holder is specifically engineered for Traxxas systems using the TQi™ radio and 6511 Traxxas Link™ Wireless Module. It is not compatible with Spektrum, Futaba, or other third-party radio systems, as the wireless protocol and data format are proprietary to Traxxas.
• Will the magnet weaken over time and affect sensor accuracy? — The magnet in this Traxxas telemetry holder is engineered with premium neodymium material designed to maintain consistent magnetic field strength for thousands of operating hours. Under normal RC driving conditions—whether casual weekend bashing or competitive racing—the magnet will maintain reliability throughout its lifespan, and Traxxas stands behind the durability of their telemetry components.
• Is installation difficult? Can a beginner set this up? — Installation is straightforward and suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. The magnet holder simply mounts to your spur gear using the included screws (3x8mm or 3x10mm depending on your vehicle scale). The process typically takes 5-10 minutes with basic tools. Clear instructions are included, and Traxxas support is available if you have any questions.
• What's the difference between the 1/16 and 1/10 scale magnet holders? — The 1/16 scale holder is smaller and designed for compact vehicles like mini crawlers and smaller trucks, while the 1/10 scale holder is larger and suitable for full-size buggies, stadium trucks, and RC boats. Both are included in this package, so you can equip different vehicles or have a spare.
• Can I use just the magnet without the telemetry wireless system? — This magnet is specifically designed for the Traxxas telemetry system. While the magnet itself is just a magnetic component, its true value is realised only when paired with an RPM sensor, TQi radio, 6511 Traxxas Link Wireless Module, and mobile app. Using it standalone won't provide any functional benefit.
