This is the most informative video I've watched in a long time. IDK that turning on and off the radio isn't better than scrolling on a different radio to find your model. Thanks for the video.
What about trims and other setting for each vehicle? Wouldn't you have to reset everything when you changed models? I don't like the traxxas transmitters myself, but that might be a question that needs to be answered.
Thank you for pointing this out. I get tired of all these radios, not to mention the batteries. I will do this. I know every vehicles comes with the transmitter.
I didn’t have the same experience with the TQI radio being selective. Spektrum radios also do what you’re describing. Only one at a time, but multiple can be powered on simultaneously and hot swapped between
I actually like the TQI radio. It fits better in my big hands than my Spektrum radios. The Bluetooth module is great with the app to set steering end points, throttle,and brake. My TQI radio controls 5 different vehicles. Perfect.
Question. If you're TQI is installed with the remote for the TRX4 WITH 2 speed and locking and unlocking switches, will that work with all your vehicles? Or do you need to keep those separate because of the switches? Or does it matter?
FUN FACT: Traxxas has the ONLY receivers that I know of that have multiple car memory. Most transmitters have that feature but not the receivers! So you can bind multiple controllers to a car. Which most people don’t know that.
Good info. The one thing you didn’t mention is, even when having multiple vehicles synced to the one controller, if you want to operate any of the other vehicles not currently being controlled by the multi-controller, can you use the original vehicle controller to operate any of the other vehicles!?! And do you have to do the “Bind” process with every vehicle you want to use on the one controller when using the T-Link?
The receiver/remote went out on my Team Associated buggy. Does this me if I replaced the OEM Team Associated receiver to a Traxxas, then it should be no problem to run my buggy with the Traxxas receiver from my Rustler VXL right?
I have three 6528 radio's, and one of them has the two switch button in front of the knobs, just like yours. How come there are two different 6528 and does they work in a different way, or will they bind in the same way?
Thanks, not exactly a secret, but there’s very few videos on it and you’ll see most YTers have like 10 radios in the background all labeled for different cars. I also didn’t see a good video on how to go from one car to the next - people seem to think you have to use the Bluetooth app, which you don’t. 🤷♂️
Great vid. I use one radio for models that I wouldn't run at the same time with family (crawlers, 1/10 scale, larger scale, etc). I learned that if you use the app to set endpoints and such, you have to have the app running for these settings to take place every time you run that vehicle. At least on mine. Bought a phone holder for this. The MOST important feature of the app for me is setting the low voltage alarm on each RC (that has the voltage reading capability) so the Lipos don't run down so far. LVC's on all brand RTR's are much too low. Very aggravating 🙄
That’s what i do i own 14 Traxxas vehicles, & TQI radio can control up to 20 vehicles, very cool feature, is great to use one remote for all my vehicles
So I have a Trx4 and a Trx4m, if I bind the TQi transmitter to the Trx4m will it cancel out the original TQ transmitter?? Sometimes I go out with both vehicles and a friend uses one whilst I’m using the other, so I’m wondering how this will work?!
I've known about the TQi's ability to be paired to multiple vehicles (although I forget if the max is 10, 20, or 30), and I've known about it's auto-switch ability (ie. turn off vehicle, turn off TQi, turn TQi back on, then turn on 'other' vehicle)...but, one thing I am uncertain of is whether said TQi NEEDS the Link module, or whether a TQi can be paired to multiple vehicles without a Traxxas Link module (since you didn't specify in the video, and we can see your TQi has a Traxxas Link installed). Speaking of the Traxxas Link module, I had one several years ago, and had nothing but problems with it. I purchased it shortly after purchasing the Rustler 4x4 VXL. It was constantly 'refusing' to connect to my phone (a Samsung Note)...and, on those rare occasions is actually connected, or would disconnect shortly thereafter. It would work one time, and not the next...and, yes, it had been updated to the latest firmware (at that point in time, which was 4-6 years ago). After less than a month, I was so fed up work the problems, I returned the Traxxas Link, and for my money back. Hopefully, whatever was causing this problem has been corrected/fixed. Were you aware of the problem I'm speaking of? And, if so, can you confirm that the problem is 100% corrected/fixed?
Its 30 vehicles and you don't need the Bluetooth module. I have only recently gotten it within the last year but I don't have any issues connecting to a phone (I have an Iphone). The only downside in my opinion is that the App can only pair with one bluetooth module at a time.
