Overview
The Traxxas Mount, telemetry expander (TRX6556) is an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want to expand the telemetry monitoring capabilities of their high-performance Traxxas vehicles. This precision-engineered mounting bracket allows you to install a telemetry expander module on some of Traxxas's most popular and capable models, including the XO-1 Supercar, E-Revo, Summit, T-Maxx, E-Maxx, Revo 3.3, and Slayer Pro 4X4. Whether you're a serious competitor looking to gather real-time performance data or a weekend basher wanting to monitor your RC car UK setup, this mount provides a professional solution for integrating advanced telemetry systems into your model.
Telemetry systems have revolutionised the way RC car enthusiasts understand and optimise their vehicles. By mounting a telemetry expander to your Traxxas brushless RC truck or supercar, you gain access to critical performance metrics including battery voltage, motor temperature, ESC temperature, and other real-time data that can be transmitted wirelessly to your transmitter. This information is invaluable for tuning your ready to run RC vehicle for maximum performance, extending battery life, preventing thermal damage to components, and improving overall driving experience. The Traxxas Mount TRX6556 makes this advanced technology accessible and easy to install on your existing model.
RC Model Shop stocks this genuine Traxxas component as part of our comprehensive range of Traxxas spares and tune-up options. As an authorised Traxxas retailer, we understand that serious RC car UK enthusiasts demand quality components that integrate seamlessly with their existing setups. This telemetry expander mount has been engineered by Traxxas to fit precisely on multiple vehicle platforms, ensuring compatibility and reliable performance whether you're running a 1/8 scale E-Revo, a massive T-Maxx truck, or the ultra-high-performance XO-1 supercar.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas telemetry expander mount represents the intersection of practical engineering and advanced monitoring technology. This component is designed to work seamlessly with Traxxas's brushless RC vehicles, from the extreme-performance XO-1 Supercar capable of 100+ mph speeds running on 6S brushless power, to the legendary T-Maxx and E-Maxx trucks that have been the backbone of serious RC bashers in the UK for nearly two decades. The mount provides a secure, vibration-resistant platform for telemetry hardware, ensuring that wireless data transmission remains stable even when your vehicle is being pushed to its limits. Whether you're running one of the modern E-Revo or Summit models with their advanced chassis designs, or sticking with the proven Revo 3.3 platform, this mount integrates cleanly into the vehicle's geometry. The engineering accounts for various mounting points across different Traxxas platforms, and where additional reinforcement is beneficial (such as on the E-Revo and Summit), the compatibility with rear chassis brace #5632 ensures optimal structural integrity. This attention to detail means you can confidently mount telemetry equipment knowing it won't interfere with suspension travel, steering response, or vehicle handling characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this telemetry mount fit my Traxxas E-Revo or Summit? — Yes, the TRX6556 is fully compatible with both E-Revo and Summit models. Please note that these vehicles require the optional rear chassis brace #5632 to be installed alongside this mount to ensure proper fitment and alignment. This brace provides additional structural support and is essential for optimal performance when running a telemetry-equipped setup on these models.
- What is telemetry and why would I want it on my RC car UK? — Telemetry is a wireless monitoring system that sends real-time performance data from your vehicle to your transmitter while you're driving. Data typically includes battery voltage, motor temperature, ESC temperature, current draw, and other parameters. This information is invaluable for understanding how hard your brushless RC vehicle is working, identifying potential issues before they cause damage, optimising battery packs for your driving style, and fine-tuning your setup for maximum performance and reliability.
- Is this mount difficult to install? — No. The Traxxas Mount TRX6556 is designed for straightforward installation by RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. The package includes complete mounting instructions and all necessary hardware. Basic mechanical ability and standard RC tools are all that's required. Most users can complete installation in under an hour.
- Which Traxxas models are compatible with this mount? — The TRX6556 is designed to fit the XO-1 Supercar, E-Revo (with rear chassis brace #5632), Summit (with rear chassis brace #5632), all T-Maxx and E-Maxx trucks, Revo 3.3, and Slayer Pro 4X4. If you own any of these Traxxas vehicles, this mount will integrate with your model.
- Do I need to purchase anything else to use this mount? — The mount itself includes everything needed for installation. However, if you're planning to use it on an E-Revo or Summit, you'll also need the rear chassis brace #5632. You'll also need to separately purchase a compatible telemetry expander module to pair with this mount, though the mount provides the hardware platform for securing whichever telemetry system you choose.
- Can I use this on a ready to run RC car from Traxxas? — Yes. This is a tune-up component designed to work with ready to run Traxxas models. It's a straightforward upgrade that doesn't require rebuilding or modifying your vehicle in any significant way.
