Redefining 1/8 Scale Off-Road - Engineered. Tested. Built to a higher standard. Sledge® is made to exceed your expectations for quality, toughness, and fun. The rock-solid chassis, massive steel drivetrain, ferocious 6s power, and race-inspired handling leave everything else in the dust. New belted Sledgehammer® tires limit high-speed tire expansion for a larger, flatter contact patch and game-changing high-speed precision and control.
 
Engineered for 6s Power
Sledge is the only truck in this class with a properly sized, 6s-capable driveline. Bigger gears. More steel. Basically bombproof. Sledge smashes the status quo to be the new standard for extreme 6s durability. Steel differential gears are built to handle the Velineon's aggressive power curve. Sledge's ring gears pack 20% more steel than traditional 1/8 scale trucks so you can hammer the throttle and not hold back. The Velineon VXL-6s features new hardware and new tuning specifically for the 2000 Kv motor. Together they deliver substantially more power under the curve for increased mid-range punch and hard-charging acceleration you can see and feel.
 
Superior Chassis Strength
Sledge is engineered to have the strongest chassis in the class. The triangulated chassis structure integrates a deep-formed aluminum plate with a multi-point composite truss system and the patent-pending full-length T-Bar(TM). Built on a solid foundation, Sledge is strongest where it matters most.
 
Clipless Body
Remove and replace the body in just seconds with exclusive patent-pending clipless body solutions engineered by Traxxas. Sledge’s clipless body goes on smoothly with a satisfying snap. The body is designed to come off when YOU release it. Sledge's innovative clipless body system is a game changer designed for ease of use and to protect the integrity of the body. The body slips on smoothly and snaps in place in just seconds. It comes off when YOU release it.
 
Monster Servo
Sledge is equipped with a high-performance metal gear servo that packs massive torque inside a heat dissipating aluminum center case. Powerful and reliable steering authority is assured with no upgrade required.
 
Belted Sledgehammer Tires
Sledge’s belted Sledgehammer® tires deliver game-changing stability and control whether you’re slinging mud or setting speed records. The wide, open-block tread design won’t clog up with dirt or debris and the lightweight belting maintains the tire’s shape for a larger contact patch, more grip, and responsive handling at any speed.
 
Razor Sharp Handling
Sledge delivers track-worthy handling thanks to superior design and an ultra-low center of gravity. Color-matched GT-Maxx aluminum shocks and precisely tuned spring rates combine for outstanding response and control.
 
Fully Waterproof
There's a difference between waterproof and resistant. Sledge continues the Traxxas legacy with our patented, industry-leading waterproofing solutions.
 
Easy Battery Access
Sledge's snap-lock battery retainer secures your batteries deep in the chassis for ultimate protection while still allowing lightning-quick battery swaps.
