Can this be used on my Rustler VXL to monitor the temperature of the Velineon motor?

Technically you can. It is more made to wrap around a nitro engine but if you get traxxas part # TRA6535, it should work fine

Yes, i have used it to display live abs data on 01 crv, and tpms on 08 bmw 3 series and live O2 sensor data on 97 rav4. I can see wheel sensor data change but Disconnect from crv above 5mph on my vehicle but easily reconnects. Not a big deal for my for i can varify they all work and are in sync

I use it on just the rv 4 sensor. I called the tech service they can tell you how to set it up for what your wanting to use it for

Not sure about fitting the rustler, but it was an easy swap in my slash. I also ran on NIMh. But in order to do that you need to either purchase the connector cable or know someone with it. With the connector you can set the speed controller to recognize nimh and shut OFF the low voltage detector. They come from the factory set with that detector ON, so it will think your NiMH is just lipo with low voltage and not run the truck. Most hobby shops will make the 2 second adjustment for you for free with their own castle link connector. I bought one because its cheap and gives you full adjustability of the setup.

should work, has adjustible pressure and temp settings. The only thing you would have to do is tap into the wire harnes for power to the monitoring unit needed to see information.

Yes. You will need the vxl esc to go with it though. I did this to my rustler xl5 and it rips now. Definitely a recommended upgrade.

It will work perfectly. Expect to see at least one line lower on your temperature gauge...because the Ice does wonders for V8 platforms.

Yes You just need to hook the sensor to a part of your motor that gets hot so it can read the temperature. I hooked this up to the the intake manifold on a carbed cadillac 500 big block motor in a 76 sedan deville

I didn't try. I'm not sure it even does read out Ferenheit temps. I just converted the F temps I wanted to C to acheive the desired results. Sorry...

No you can not run the brushed motor with the velineom power system it wont work, ive asked at my hobby store....as far as a replacement they make rebuild kits for the the brushless motor :-)

You can try it, worse case just send it back, but I don't think it will work. Maybe you could see if you can mount it on your meter. It's a very helpful tool.

May not work well. Meter needs a clear shot of the spinning part and all but the reflective tape needs to be practically black for contrast. I could not get a good reading on an electric fan shaft nor when I tried to put the reflective tape on a blade to measure RPM

This combo will make an unbelievable difference in a rustler. That brushless motor will seem like its too fast at first. Excellent upgrade. Add a lipo and you're likely to destroy your rustler and or somebody's shin. Http://YouTube.com/artincbydb for lots of awesome rc vids.

I don't know, I use Kintrex IRT0421 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer with Laser Targeting now.the maverick dead after one year.

Yes you could put this in your rustler. I currently have the same thing in mine. But to answer your question about racing. You can run on the tracks ur can't compete in a class because it is a senseless motor. No however you can use the esc and hook up a sensored motor to that esc. But overall that would be a great upgrade for your rustler

This will work fine, because it uses infrared to measure temperature. I tried it on a few grills and it gives you accurate temperatures.

Eric:Like you, I was unable to get a direct read from either of my 2 remote sensors. It, supposedly, will use the readings to "average" the temps, but like you, I would love to see a direct read-out on the face of the stat!Sorry I couldn't help you . . .Mike
