Expanded Innovation

Traxxas telemetry changes the game by allowing you to monitor and record real-time data from your vehicle while you drive. Add the GPS module to the water-sealed Telemetry Expander and track the actual speed of your vehicle in real-time! The Telemetry Expander accepts up to six auto-detectable sensors in addition to the three standard Traxxas sensors. There are currently three auto-detectable sensors to select from: voltage, temperature, and GPS. The Traxxas Link application automatically recognizes sensors, so setup takes only a few moments! Advanced communication bus technology allows you to connect the telemetry expander to your TSM receiver or to your High-Voltage Power Amplifier, or directly to the VXL-6s and VXL-8s electronic speed controls with optional data cables. Install the Telemetry Expander, choose your sensors, and prepare for an all-new RC driving experience!

Important Note

The new GPS Module 2.0 (6551X) and Telemetry Expander 2.0 (6550X) replace the original Telemetry Expander (6550) and GPS Module (6551). The originals are not compatible with the new 2.0 versions.

TRAXXAS TELEMETRY EXPANDER (6550) FEATURES
  • Includes receiver data cable (optional data cables available)
  • Installs quickly and easily; no parts to replace or swap
  • Waterproof case keeps the expander safe from the elements

They have EVERYTHING and the best scale models selection within 150miles! Great family things to do too...race car track role-playing games. Trains and much more!

I needed something very weird for a 3d printer part and crossed my fingers when I went to this shop as they deal mostly with a different style of hobbies. They not only had the screws I need but also had something that I didn't know existed and was exactly what I needed to make my repair. They have my business now and I am excited to return for more items.

This place is awesome! They had just about every scale model manufacturer represented. Some of the decals in the huge drawers were out of production rare! The largest scale aircraft section between Little Rock and Kennesaw I have seen.
Half the hobby side is train stuff, and they have a large RC section. There was also a more thrift-type side that was interesting to browse. Just come and look!

Absolutely love this store. Am a kit builder and they have a wide collection of those, most any brand you can think of. I try and spend my money here as opposed to the almighty eBay or Amazon since I'd like to think I help keep this place open. All sorts and brands of paint to feed my airbrush. For non modelers, they have a phenomenal collection of RC, an inside slot car track, an offroad RC test track for smaller off road cars. An amazing collection of train models and trains. Ho type stuff. I'm not into those but they have a huge variety of this stuff. Then a bunch of collectibles and a card playing corner. Definitely worth a visit!

I have been a big fan of the store for a while, but the recent renovations are blowing me away. This is a great store full of every materials for all hobbies. Trains, RC cars and planes, models, games, and all the paints you could want. The staff are super friendly and will order anything they don’t have.
