Traxxas Sledge 1/8 4WD

TRAXXAS SLEDGE 1/8 4WD RC CAR

NEW FORM OF 1/8 SCALE OFF-ROAD!
The brand new Sledge® is built to exceed your expectations for quality, durability and fun. The rock-solid chassis, massive steel drivetrain, wild 6s power and race-inspired handling leave everything else tiny next to it!

VXL-6s Power Unit

The Velineon VXL-6s has new hardware and new tuning features specifically for the 2000kV motor. Together they deliver significantly more power under the curve for increased mid-range punching and fully charged acceleration you can see and feel.

MONSTER SERVO
The Sledge is equipped with a high performance metal gear servo that packs enormous torque inside a heat dissipating aluminum center case. Powerful and reliable steering authorization is provided without any upgrades.

STRONG UPPER CHASSIS
The Sledge is designed to have the strongest chassis in its class. The triangular frame structure integrates a deeply formed aluminum plate with a multi-point composite cage system and patent-pending full-length T-Bar™. Built on a solid foundation, Sledge is strongest where it matters most.

NEW CLIPLESS BODY
Remove and replace stems in seconds with exclusive, patent-pending clipless stem solutions designed by Traxxas. The clipless body of the Sledge goes on smoothly with a satisfying snap. The body is designed to come out when you release it.

DESIGNED FOR 6S POWER
The Sledge is the only truck in this class with a properly sized 6s powertrain. Bigger gears. More steel. Basically bombproof. The Sledge is breaking the status quo to become the new standard for outstanding 6s durability.

SLEDGEHAMMER TIRES
Premium Sledgehammer® tires are standard equipment. No tire upgrade required. Durable foam inserts are designed not to clump or splinter. The patent-pending Traxxas innovation explores the upper range of Sledge's capacity while improving the tire bonding process to reduce the chance of a tire bursting.

Sledge offers track-worthy handling thanks to its superior design and ultra-low center of gravity. GT-Maxx shocks and finely tuned spring rates combine for exceptional response and control.

It is completely waterproof! Sledge continues the Traxxas legacy with our patented, industry-leading waterproofing solutions.

TSM GROWTH SYSTEM

(TSM) makes it easy for anyone to experience the full 6s Velineon horsepower. TSM works behind the scenes to control excessive drift, avoid drift, and focus on high-performance entertainment.

WHAT YOU NEED TO COMPLETE

LiPo Batteries
Traxxas recommends dual 5000mAh 3-cell 11.1V Power Cell LiPo batteries for maximum performance. Dual 7600mAh 7.4V LiPo batteries or a single 6700mAh 14.8V LiPo battery will run the vehicle with poor performance. NiMH batteries are not supported.

LiPo Balance Charger with iD™
Traxxas EZ-Peak® Live 4s-enabled charger is recommended for easy and fast charging performance (model #2971).

AA Alkaline Batteries
Four AA alkaline batteries for the transmitter.
