features and capabilities. Firmware updates are performed via a microSD
card (not included) that installs on the main board. The microSD card slot
can be accessed by removing the front canopy (two screws). Visit Traxxas.
com for the latest firmware updates and instructions for how to install
them on your model.

overlay your path onto maps, and see your altitude.*
