Overview
The Traxxas Mount, telemetry expander (TRX6555) is an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts who want to monitor real-time performance data from their Traxxas vehicles whilst bashing or racing. Whether you're sending it at the skatepark, competing in a stadium truck event, or pushing your RC car to the limit on a construction site, this heavy-duty mounting solution ensures your telemetry system stays secure and properly positioned. This mount is specifically designed to work with the Traxxas Telemetry Expander 2.0 and integrates seamlessly with vehicles already equipped with the optional Heavy-Duty Chassis Brace.
If you're running a Slash 4X4, Stampede 4X4, Rally, or Jato, this is the mount you need to take full advantage of Traxxas's advanced TQi telemetry system. The telemetry expander accepts up to six different plug-and-play sensors, allowing you to monitor motor temperatures, ambient temperatures, battery voltage, and more—all in real time. For serious RC car UK enthusiasts and competitive drivers, this data is invaluable for tuning and performance optimisation. The mount comes with all necessary installation hardware and includes clear guidance to ensure a straightforward setup process.
This is not a standalone product; it requires installation of the Heavy-Duty Chassis Brace first, which provides a solid foundation for secure mounting. Once installed, the Telemetry Expander Mount allows you to position your sensors exactly where you need them without straining any wires, ensuring maximum reliability during intense driving sessions.
Key Features
- Secure mounting solution for Telemetry Expander 2.0 — The mount is specifically engineered to hold your telemetry expander firmly in place on the chassis brace, preventing movement or vibration that could affect sensor readings or cause physical damage during aggressive driving.
- Compatible with multiple Traxxas 4WD models — Designed to fit Slash 4X4, Stampede 4X4, Rally, and Jato platforms, making this a versatile upgrade for owners of these popular RC vehicles. This compatibility extends your options when choosing which Traxxas ready to run RC model to upgrade.
- Supports up to six plug-and-play sensors — The Telemetry Expander 2.0 that this mount holds can accept up to six different sensors, including motor temperature, ambient temperature, and battery voltage sensors, giving you comprehensive performance monitoring capabilities.
- Heavy-duty construction — The mount features solid and composite half components that work together to create a robust holding solution capable of withstanding the vibrations and impacts of serious RC bashing or competitive racing.
- All installation hardware included — Everything needed to secure the mount to your existing chassis brace is included in the package, eliminating the need for additional purchases or improvisation during installation.
- Optimised wire routing — The mount design allows you to position it so that sensor wires reach without strain, maintaining signal integrity and preventing accidental disconnection during high-energy driving sessions.
- Test-fit capability — Before final installation, you can perform a test fit to verify that all wires will reach and that your vehicle's body cage clears the expander, ensuring a perfect final setup.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Mount, telemetry expander represents the company's commitment to providing quality accessories that enhance the performance monitoring capabilities of their brushless RC vehicles. Constructed from heavy-duty composite materials and precision-engineered components, this mount is built to withstand the demands of both casual weekend bashing and competitive racing. The mount features an upper and lower half design, with the solid half oriented on top to provide maximum support and protection for your Telemetry Expander 2.0. Installation involves securing both halves to the Heavy-Duty Chassis Brace using the provided hardware, then affixing the telemetry expander itself with two screws. The engineering allows for flexible positioning, which is particularly important when working with Rustler 4X4 or Slash 4X4 models that may have internal body braces requiring careful clearance planning. By providing secure mounting for your telemetry sensors, this accessory enables accurate data collection during driving, which is essential for tuning your 3S or 4S LiPo-powered brushless RC truck to peak performance. The mount works in conjunction with Traxxas's TQi telemetry system and the optional GPS Module, forming part of a comprehensive performance monitoring ecosystem that serious RC car UK drivers rely upon for competitive advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas vehicles is this mount compatible with? — This mount is designed to fit the Slash 4X4, Stampede 4X4, Rally, and Jato models. It requires the Heavy-Duty Chassis Brace to be installed first on your vehicle before you can mount the telemetry expander.
- Do I need the Telemetry Expander 2.0 to use this mount? — Yes, this mount is specifically designed to hold the Traxxas Telemetry Expander 2.0. The expander itself is sold separately and accepts up to six plug-and-play sensors for comprehensive performance monitoring of your RC vehicle.
- Is installation difficult for someone new to RC car UK hobbies? — The installation is straightforward if you already have the Heavy-Duty Chassis Brace installed. However, this is an intermediate-level accessory that assumes basic mechanical competency with RC vehicles. The instruction sheet provides clear guidance, and test-fitting before final tightening is recommended to ensure proper wire routing and clearance.
- What performance data can I monitor with this setup? — By mounting the Telemetry Expander 2.0 on this bracket, you can monitor motor temperatures, ambient temperatures, battery voltage, and up to three additional parameters using compatible sensors. This data helps you optimise tuning and understand your vehicle's performance characteristics during driving sessions.
- Will this mount work with my Rustler 4X4? — The manufacturer page specifically mentions Rustler 4X4 compatibility and notes that you should position the mount to ensure it clears the internal body brace on these models. Whilst Rustler 4X4 is mentioned in the context of chassis brace compatibility, verify with Traxxas that this specific mount is compatible with your exact model variant.
- What's included with the mount and what do I need to buy separately? — The mount includes all hardware needed to attach it to the chassis brace and two screws for securing the expander. You will need to purchase the Heavy-Duty Chassis Brace separately if you don't already have it, plus the Telemetry Expander 2.0 and any sensors you wish to use.
