Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the Traxxas 6532 Transmitter Phone Mount onto your compatible Traxxas transmitter.
- Identify Mounting Point: Locate the designated mounting point on your Traxxas TQi or Aton transmitter. This is typically a screw-in port or a clip-on area designed for accessories.
- Attach Mount Base: Securely attach the base of the phone mount to the transmitter. Depending on your transmitter model, this may involve screwing the mount into place or clipping it onto a specific feature. Ensure the connection is firm to prevent wobbling during use.
- Adjust Angle: The mount features an adjustable arm. Loosen the adjustment knob or lever, position the phone holder at your desired viewing angle, and then tighten the knob or lever to lock it in place.
- Insert Mobile Device: Gently pull apart the spring-loaded clamp of the phone holder. Carefully insert your smartphone into the clamp, ensuring it is centered and held securely. The spring-loaded mechanism will automatically adjust to the width of your device.

Important: Ensure your phone's dimensions are compatible with the mount's spring-loaded clamp. While designed to accommodate most smartphones, very large phones or those with exceptionally thick cases may have a tight fit or may not fit at all. Always ensure your device is securely seated before operating your RC vehicle.
Operating Instructions
Once installed, the phone mount allows for convenient use of your mobile device in conjunction with your Traxxas transmitter.
- Telemetry Monitoring: If your Traxxas vehicle and transmitter are equipped with telemetry capabilities and connected to the Traxxas Link app on your smartphone, the mount provides an ideal viewing position for real-time data such as speed, temperature, and battery voltage.
- Recording Video: The mount can be used to position your phone for recording video of your RC vehicle's operation from your perspective. Adjust the angle to capture the desired field of view.
- App Integration: Utilize other compatible applications on your smartphone that enhance your RC experience, such as GPS mapping or timing apps, while keeping your hands free for transmitter control.
- Angle Adjustment During Use: The mount's adjustable arm allows for quick angle changes. If you need to modify the viewing angle during operation, carefully loosen the adjustment knob, reposition the phone, and re-tighten.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your phone mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all connection points and the spring-loaded clamp for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure all screws and fasteners remain tight.
- Storage: When not in use, store the phone mount in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with the Traxxas 6532 Transmitter Phone Mount.
- Phone Does Not Fit Securely:
Ensure your phone's dimensions, including any case, are within the maximum capacity of the spring-loaded clamp. If your phone has a very thick or bulky case, it may prevent a secure fit. Consider removing the case if necessary, or verify the mount's specifications for maximum phone width.
- Mount Feels Loose or Wobbly:
Check that the mount base is securely attached to your transmitter. Tighten any screws or ensure clips are fully engaged. Also, verify that the adjustment knob for the arm angle is fully tightened after positioning.
- Phone Holder Not Centered:
While the mount is designed for optimal positioning, slight variations in transmitter design or personal preference may lead to the phone appearing slightly off-center. Adjust the angle of the mount and the phone within the clamp to achieve the most comfortable viewing position for your use.
