This compact sensor is a simple way to add useful telemetry without complicated wiring or extra modules. It's a great pick for club racers and weekend bashers who want actionable temperature and voltage information to protect motor and battery life.
About the Brand
ESC Voltage Only
It's okay for what it does. Manual said it would fit my Rustler, and it does, but it only shows ESC voltage and never really goes below 6v. I decided to get the longer version to check motor temp and will splice it into the battery-to-motor wire. You'll need two adapters: a retro plug and one that connects to the sensor wire for battery voltage. Long version is Traxxas #6521 and the plug is #6549. I put my sensor under the ESC. Use #6543 or #6541 for power tap. Couldn't figure out another way. Some reviews go deeper into the details, but at least on my RTR, this won't reach the motor.
