I just installed my GPS on my T Maxx 3.3. The green light came on and I thought all was ok. The system then did a frimware update and now the GPS is solid red. I have tried uninstalling the app, rewiring, and using fresh batteries. I even tried unbinding and then rebinding the Reciever and transmitter. Still have a solid red light on the expansion for the GPS.....anybody have any ideas. Or is a call to Traxxas needed???

I never even knew about this module on these trucks lol. Learned something new today. But, the information out there is limited so I'm going to start with, do a factory reset on it and see what that does. I'm sure Traxxas will want you to do this as well. If that doesn't work, I would call them and see what they say. The firmware update may have messed something up and if it is still under warranty they will send you a new one, or should.
If you do find a solution, please post it here so we can help others in the future.
Below is what I found in the manual about restoring factory defaults. I'm not even sure if this will help the GPS, but it's worth a shot. Again, this is all in your manual on page 28 if you want to do some reading about complete TQi setups. And obviously I'm just spitting in the wind with this one. Hope it helps.
