Rich ProGraphix Paint

Screened-on Graphics don't chip or peel which is why Sledge's bold and bright ProGraphix Body will keep it's custom looks run after run.

High Downforce Wing

At the speed that the Sledge goes, a high down force wing puts that wind to work!  Plus it has moulded in protection to help with those ground scraping wheelies.

Roof Skids

When things go sideways... or upside down... the thick roof skids take the beating instead of the body.  It keeps that body looking fresh and they're inexpensive to replace when they've seen a little too much action.

Extreme Sledge (hammer) Grip

The Tires that are included with the Sledge are Traxxas' own Sledgehammer truck tires.  They have thick tread blocks to bite into rough terrain for outstanding grip on all surfaces.  Plus they're locked with a vice like grip onto their 3.8" wheels with a new patent-pending tire bonding process.

Molded Body Reinforcements

Traditional Body Posts and Clips can pull through lexan bodies.  Sledge uses Moulded reinforcements to transfer the impact forces to it's frame rather than to the thinner lexan.

GT-MAXX Shocks

X-ring seals glide on large diameter shafts for ultimate suspension smoothness.  Spring retainers are secured with screws so they stay put and the large bore GT-Maxx aluminum shocks mount to the shock towers with 4mm screws for ultimate strength. 

High - Tech Suspension Arms

Sledge demands the toughest in composite materials from which these suspension arms are made.  As an added bonus, these heavy duty suspension arms also use a pressed steel pin to attain tighter tolerances which translates into a more precise suspension movement.

Heavy Duty Chassis Braces

Triangles are strong and Sledge's Aluminum Chassis is made even more rigid with the heavy duty front and rear braces which create a triangulated structure for the ultimate in strength and rigidity

VXL-6s Speed Control

Incredible punch and power throughout the RPM Range is achieved with the custom tuned, proven Velineon VXL-6s electronic speed control.  Punch and acceleration response is rocket-like!

Aluminum T-Bar

Excellent cross-sectional stiffness is achieved by the unique shape of Sledge's aluminum T-Bar Brace rather than a traditional round tube.  The T-Bar also keys directly into the bulkheads and doesn't rely on the attachment screws to absorb impact forces.

High Strength Aluminum plate Chassis

The Chassis is the heart and soul of any RC Vehicle and the Sledge's chassis eliminates weak points by using flanged edges from bulkhead to bulkhead.  Extra rigidity is achieved in high stress areas with additional strengthening ribs and a seamless look is made possible by side guards that fit tightly to the chassis.

Rigid Battery Tray

4s and 6s battery configurations are no problem for Sledge's roomy battery tray.  Packs can be quickly changed thanks to it's clip-less/strapless design.

Aluminum Motor Cradle

A wrap-around aluminum cradle is used to secure Sledge's 2000kV brushless motor in place.  As an added bonus, the cradle has built in bosses to attach the optional cooling fan accessory (TRA3476)

Total Steering Authority

347 oz-in of torque keeps the Sledge headed in the right direction and with the TRA2275 waterproof, metal gear servo, you won't need to look for servo upgrades any time soon.

6061-T6 Aluminum Shock towers

Bullet-proof strength and durability are found with Sledge's 5mm thick 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum shock towers which tie directly into the centre brace.

High Strength Hinge Pin Retainers

Sharper handling is achieved with tighter tolerances than traditional sliding pin configurations.  HD 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum retainers hold the hardened steel hinge pins firmly in place. 

Extreme Duty Composite Camber and Toe Links

Flexibility in a crash is important.  It's Better to flex and return to shape than pull apart or bend when a crash happens which is why the camber and toe links are made out of one piece composite.  Plus, optimal camber and toe settings are pre-set for the track. 

Rugged C-Hubs with Double Shear Connections

Precise Steering Alignment is important for any RC Vehicle and Sledge's C-Hubs combine superior impact resistance and durability.  And, even during hard hits, the double shear connections keep the toe links securely fastened.

Steel Centre Driveshafts

What good is a torque-biasing heavy duty centre drive if the driveshafts were made out of weak plastic?  Super Duty Solid steel driveshafts keep things strong plus sport rubber boots to keep the dirt out and the grease in.

Oversized Steel Bearings

Traxxas equips sledge with oversized bearings throughout the drive-train to make sure that things stay precise and perform at their peak.

Torque-Biasing Centre Drive

6S Power can be a handful for traditional centre differentials.  The Torque-Biasing in Sledge's centre drive is filled with high viscosity silicone fluid to help distribute power evenly to maximize power, launch capability, and corner acceleration.

Steel Outer Driveshafts

Massive 6S Power can twist traditional composite drive shafts which is why the shafts in Sledge are made out of solid steel.  With a dog-bone at one end and a CV Drive at the other, you can rest easy and mash the throttle all you want.

Steel Gear Differentials

Sledge's ferocious power is kept in check by the use of true 6s differentials.  Gear pitch is intentionally coarse on the 20% larger and 75% thicker steel components. (compared to traditional 1/8th scale components)
