Characteristics
The new Sledge RC model car is designed to exceed the existing standards and become the best-built, durable and fun RC model. Powered by a 6S LiPo and a powerful AC motor, the Sledge reaches speeds of up to 112 km/h , making it one of the fastest 1:8 scale models. All components have been rigorously designed and tested for hundreds of hours to achieve maximum quality. The parts are beautifully shaped, assembled and the plastic parts are precisely integrated into the metal chassis. With this model, you will have a lot of fun both when riding freely in the terrain, when jumping in the skatepark, or thanks to the excellent controllability and low center of gravity, even on the race track.
The model now includes Sledgehammer tires with an integrated belt for greater durability.
The chassis of the model is made of blue anodized aluminum undercarriage plate. The chassis is consistently reinforced in exposed parts such as the axle necks. A new center brace and additional cross braces leading to the aluminum damper towers are used. Richly dimensioned metal gears are used in the drive train. The suspension has been completely reworked, classic heavy-duty bars are used, new arm covers, the suspension is adjustable and powerful blue-anodized GT Maxx aluminum shock absorbers are used. Premium SledgeHammer wheels ensure perfect traction. Changing the battery is lightning fast, thanks to the clip-free fastening of the body and the patented partition in the battery compartment.
The latest electronics are used for drive and control along with a powerful 2000Kv AC motor. The VXL-6 controller provides all telemetry that you can view on your phone (must add a Bluetooth module to the transmitter, sold separately). The receiver is equipped with the exclusive TSM electronic stabilization technology, which helps with the control of the model. Of course, a wide range of accessories is available, including complete spare and tuning parts.
Aluminum chassis
The chassis of the RC model consists of a light and durable aluminum plate with a thickness of 3.2 mm. Along the entire length, the edges are shaped to increase strength. Giant front and rear cross braces, attached at six points, provide increased resistance at the model's most exposed impact points, which are the chassis necks at the suspension. A patented T-shaped central reinforcement is used for overall connection and reinforcement. Like the chassis and center brace, the damper towers are aluminum with a beautiful blue anodized finish.
Powertrain
The extreme power of the engine is transmitted to the wheels via a sufficiently dimensioned drive train, which has been designed for a long service life. Solid steel gears and three metal-geared differentials transfer power to high-strength steel half-axles. Smooth-running parallel CV joints are used on the front axle. The center shafts are equipped with a sleeve that keeps the oil inside, so the joints are always lubricated.
Front, rear and center differential
The power distribution between the individual wheels is handled by three differentials with metal gears, which are stored in ball bearings. The center differential is filled with thick oil to provide adequate traction and distribute power evenly between the axles. The front and rear differentials use heavier steel gears that are 20% larger and 75% thicker than conventional types in this category.
GT-Maxx oil dampers
Four extra-large GT-Maxx shock absorbers effectively absorb even the hardest impacts. The oil-filled aluminum body of the shock absorbers is equipped with a thread and a nut for easy adjustment of spring preload. The shock absorber is equipped with double X-rings to prevent oil leakage around the piston rod.
Axles with robust bars
The Sledge features an all-new C-arm front suspension. The parts are large and robust while maintaining accurate geometry. The massive hardened steel suspension pins are secured with lock nuts for added security. You can easily change the suspension setting by re-screwing the connectors.
Engine bed
The new engine bed is cast from aluminum and provides engine support along its entire length. In addition, the bed effectively dissipates heat through the chassis and is equipped with an integrated fan holder. The fan can be purchased as a tuning part TRA3476.
SledgeHammer tires
The model uses 3.8" spoked wheels with 6.7" SledgeHammer tires that were inspired by motocross. The high rigid pattern ensures long life and durability. These tires have an improved wheel connection system. Until now, these tires were available as a tuning part on Traxxas models. They are now already in the base for this model!
Accumulator bed
Changing the battery is easy and lightning fast, thanks to the snap-on partition. At the same time, the battery stays firmly in place even under the hardest impacts.
High off-road traction
The proven Sledgehammer tread pattern provides maximum traction on a variety of surfaces, especially rough terrain, gravel and grass.
Durability and stability
Sledgehammer ® tires feature a lightweight belt in the carcass that prevents bulging at high speeds for rock-solid confidence and stability.
Servo steering
The all-new, waterproof* Traxxas 2275 power steering has a whopping 25kg.cm of power. The servo is equipped with metal gears, two ball bearings for smooth operation and a metal center box for efficient cooling.
Powerful AC motor
The model is powered by a powerful 2000 rpm AC motor with a robust 5 mm shaft. The 4-pole design gives the motor smooth operation with smooth acceleration. For effective cooling even under high load, the motor is equipped with a metal body. Gold-plated connectors 6.5mm.

Furthermore, a telemetry expansion module can be connected to the 4-pin connector, into which you can connect up to 6 more sensors, including a very accurate GPS speed sensor.
Traxxas Stability Management
The Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) stability system allows you to experience not only power, speed, acceleration and cornering at extreme speed, but also guarantees much easier steering and control on slippery surfaces such as dust, smooth concrete or even ice and snow.
The receiver has a MEMS 3-axis gyro and an accelerometer, which evaluates the movement of the model on the order of 100 times per second and corrects the model's direction of travel by appropriate interventions in the steering of the front wheels. Traxxas TSM does not limit engine power - you have 100% control over engine power. Algorithms are tuned for each model separately. The level of assistance is set using the multi-function controller on the transmitter or possibly in the Traxxas Link application.

Accessories for normal operation
For normal operation of the Traxxas RC car, you need bolt glue, good quality tire glue, silicone shock oil and a set of screwdrivers. We recommend an affordable set of tools for cars from our range.
The thread or head of the screw is dripped with screw glue, which fixes it and the vibrations caused by driving prevent the screw joint from loosening. The screw adhesive has a special composition that allows the screw connection to be easily loosened with an adequate torque without damaging the screw head. Never use ordinary instant glue, it might be impossible to loosen a screw stuck like this!
Tire glue is used to glue the tires to the disc rim. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly stuck to the wheel rim all the way around! If the tire is not glued all the way around, it may tear. Tire glue has a special composition that is able to glue materials such as rubber or nylon, and at the same time, after hardening, the glue is flexible. Never use ordinary instant glue - it is not flexible after hardening and cracks would gradually form in the tire around the rims!
Sometimes it is necessary to add silicone oil to the dampers of the model. During normal operation, there are only slight leaks of silicone oil on the piston rods of the shock absorber. In the event that the surface of the damper pistons or the condition of the seals is in poor condition, the oil leakage may be large. So-called repair kits are supplied for these cases. In the range of tuning parts, piston rods with an extremely hard TiN (titanium nitride) coating are delivered to all shock absorbers. Piston rods with a TiN surface are easily recognized by their golden-green color.
