Key Features
- Dual Satellite System (GPS and GLONASS) — The device receives signals from both GPS and GLONASS satellite networks simultaneously, providing superior accuracy and faster lock-on times compared to GPS-only trackers. This dual-constellation approach ensures reliable positioning even in challenging environments such as urban areas with tall buildings or wooded terrain where signal obstruction might occur.
- Extremely High Speed Capability — With a maximum readable speed of 560 mph (900 kph), this GPS meter can accurately track even the fastest RC models, from high-speed racing drones to full-scale simulation vehicles. Most typical RC cars operate well within this range, but the headroom ensures the device will never become obsolete as your RC ambitions grow.
- Fast 10 Hz Update Rate — The device refreshes its positional data up to 10 times per second, providing extremely responsive tracking that captures rapid changes in your model's position and velocity. This makes it far more accurate than basic GPS units with slower refresh rates, particularly valuable when tracking performance on technical courses with sharp turns and acceleration bursts.
- Crystal Clear LCD Display — The onboard LCD screen delivers instant feedback in the field, displaying current speed, average speed, peak speed, current altitude, maximum altitude, total distance travelled, and GPS coordinates in real time. You don't need to wait until you get home to see your results.
- Exceptional Sensitivity and Reception — The receiver achieves a satellite signal reception sensitivity of -167 dBm, enabling reliable positioning even in marginal conditions where weaker receivers might struggle. The built-in antenna is optimised for RC applications and requires no external components.
- PC Interface and Google Maps Integration — Download your data to any computer via the included USB cable and use the Dynamite GPS Logger software to map your drives, flights, and runs directly onto Google mapping products. This allows you to visually trace your exact route, identify performance hotspots, and compare multiple runs side by side.
- Metric and Imperial Unit Selection — Switch between metric (kilometres per hour, metres) and imperial (miles per hour, feet) units via the PC software, catering to your preference and making it easy to compare data with international competitors or different regions of the RC hobby.
- Waterproof Design for All Weather Use — The sealed construction allows safe operation in rain, wet grass, mud, and water-based environments. Mount it on your RC boat, helicopter, or off-road truck with confidence that moisture won't damage the electronics.
- Worldwide Compatibility — Built-in support for WAAS (North America), EGNOS (Europe), MSAS (Japan), and RTCM (Russia) correction systems means the device works accurately anywhere in the world. Take your RC models on international trips knowing your GPS tracker will function precisely.
- Extended Recording Duration — The integrated 1 MB flash memory provides 18 hours of continuous recording at 1 Hz, or 2 hours at 10 Hz. This is sufficient for multiple full-day RC sessions without requiring data downloads between sessions.
- Universal RC Model Compatibility — The lightweight package fits RC planes, helicopters, cars, trucks, and boats alike. Whether you're interested in circuit racing, off-road bashing, fixed-wing aircraft, or watercraft, this GPS meter adapts to your chosen discipline.
- Integrated High-Capacity Battery with Convenient Charging — The built-in 200 mAh LiPo battery charges via standard micro USB, compatible with any USB charger including computer ports, wall adapters, or portable power banks. No proprietary charging cables required.
Technical Performance
The Dynamite GPS Speed Meter 2.0 delivers exceptional technical performance in a package measuring just 64 × 37 × 20 millimetres and weighing a mere 41 grams. The L1 frequency receiver (1575.42 MHz) utilises concurrent GPS and GLONASS satellite reception to achieve positioning accuracy that rivals much larger, heavier devices. The -167 dBm satellite signal reception sensitivity is amongst the most sensitive available in consumer RC GPS units, meaning the device acquires satellite locks rapidly even in marginal signal conditions. The engineered plastic construction provides an excellent balance between durability and weight savings; this isn't a fragile device, but rather a purposefully designed piece of equipment that won't significantly impact your model's weight distribution or flight characteristics.
The 1 MHz receiver architecture combined with the 1-10 Hz configurable update frequency provides genuine flexibility for different applications. Use 1 Hz recording for extended sessions with minimal data density, or switch to 10 Hz mode for detailed technical analysis of specific high-performance runs where every positional change matters. The 200 mAh internal LiPo battery delivers up to 150 minutes of continuous operation under typical conditions, though factors such as ambient temperature, satellite signal quality, and update frequency will influence actual runtime. The low-power design means the device draws minimal current from your RC model's systems; in most applications, you could power the GPS meter independently if desired, though the battery management is sophisticated enough to handle integration into existing RC setups. Operating temperature range of 0°C to +40°C ensures reliable function throughout the UK's typical weather conditions, whilst the storage temperature range of -10°C to +70°C protects the device during off-season storage. Operating humidity tolerance of 5-90% accommodates everything from dry summer days to damp winter conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use the Dynamite GPS Speed Meter 2.0 on my RC car? — Absolutely. The compact size and lightweight design make it ideal for RC cars, trucks, and buggies of all scales. The device mounts easily using foam tape or small brackets and won't significantly affect your vehicle's weight distribution or performance. The waterproof design also means it's safe for off-road bashing in wet conditions.
- How long does the battery last on a single charge? — The integrated 200 mAh LiPo battery provides up to 150 minutes of continuous operating time under typical conditions. This is sufficient for multiple RC sessions throughout the day. Charging via the included USB cable takes only a few hours.
- What's the difference between 1 Hz and 10 Hz recording modes? — The 1 Hz mode records one data point per second and allows up to 18 hours of continuous recording, ideal for casual tracking and extended sessions. The 10 Hz mode captures ten data points per second for extremely detailed positional and performance analysis, but limits recording to approximately 2 hours due to storage constraints. Use 1 Hz for general tracking and 10 Hz for technical analysis of specific high-performance runs.
- Does this work worldwide? — Yes. The device includes built-in support for WAAS (North America), EGNOS (Europe), MSAS (Japan), and RTCM (Russia) correction systems, ensuring accurate positioning anywhere globally. You can use it at home in the UK or take it abroad for international RC events.
- Can I view my data on a Mac? — The included USB cable allows data transfer to any computer with a standard USB port. The Dynamite GPS Logger software is compatible with standard PC environments; you should verify Mac compatibility directly with the manufacturer or retailer support team before purchase if you exclusively use Apple computers.
- How accurate is the speed reading? — The dual GPS/GLONASS receiver with -167 dBm sensitivity provides accuracy rivalling dedicated automotive GPS units. In open-sky conditions, you can expect positional accuracy to within a few metres, which translates to speed accuracy within 1-2 mph for typical RC applications. Urban environments with signal obstruction may show slightly reduced accuracy, though the dual-satellite approach mitigates this significantly.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, the Dynamite GPS Speed Meter 2.0 is straightforward to operate. Simply charge the battery, mount the unit on your RC model, and press the power button. The LCD display provides instant feedback, and no complex setup is required. Post-run analysis using the PC software is optional; beginners can simply enjoy real-time speed and altitude data on the LCD without any computer involvement.
- What recording times can I expect? — At the default 1 Hz setting, you'll achieve approximately 18 hours of continuous recording before the 1 MB memory fills. At the faster 10 Hz setting, expect approximately 2 hours of recording. For a typical RC session lasting 1-2 hours, you'll rarely need to download data unless you're conducting intensive technical analysis.
