TRAXXAS has developed the SLEDGE 1/8, a truck for racing and bashing.
Countless hours of development and testing have gone into this truck to eliminate weak points and ensure the highest standards. The result is pure perfection!
MODERN DESIGN
The SLEDGE was specifically designed to meet the demands of an ambitious R/C rider and proves its strengths first and foremost in skate parks and on tracks with monster ramps. The precision-machined components are nevertheless smooth-running and ultra-stable.
A RIDING EXPERIENCE FOR ALL
The SLEDGE is the perfect model for any R/C basher who wants to get the most out of their vehicle while experiencing unsurpassed TRAXXAS quality and superior R/C engineering.
TRAXXAS is ushering in a new era of 1/8 trucks that you won't find a second time in this segment. The SLEDGE is the perfect model for existing 1/8 Truck owners who want even more power and speed or for beginners who are looking for an indestructible model.
sUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY - CHASSIS DESIGN
When developing the SLEDGE, the goal was to create the strongest chassis in the 1/8 segment.
The triangulated chassis structure integrates a deep-formed T6 aluminum chassis with a multi-mount support system and a continuous exclusive aluminum T-bar brace. The SLEDGE is strongest exactly where it matters most!
HIGHER STANDARD - DESIGNED FOR 6S
The SLEDGE is the only truck in its class to feature an optimized drivetrain for 6S performance.
Bigger gears + more material = bomb-strong.
The heavy-duty center differential is filled with premium lube oil for punchy performance, and the differentials are 20% larger and 75% stronger than comparable 1/8th models.
PINLESS BODY ASSEMBLY
The patented pinless body assembly system has several advantages: The body is reinforced by a frame, mounted in seconds with the innovative clip system, and it doesn't come off until you want it to!
VXL-6s™ POWER SYSTEM
TRAXXAS most powerful 6S drive system! This VXL-6S system features special tuning settings for the 2000kV brushless motor. Efficient components and electronic parts provide more mid-throttle power.
TQi™ REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
The full-featured TQi transmitter system provides premium feel and control with the help of integrated Traxxas Stability Management. Full compatibility is provided by the free Traxxas Link App via the optional wireless module for optimized tuning and telemetry.
DIGITAL HIGH-TORQUE 2275 SERVO
The SLEDGE's servo features a powerful metal gearhead with 50-80% torque. Comparable servos are undersized and too weak to handle the heavy loads of a 1/8 truck. The 2275 servo does not require an upgrade!
OPTIMIZED ALUMINUM MOTOR MOUNT
A motor mount has only one task - to guarantee a tight fit of the motor despite loads and crashes. The SLEDGE aluminum motor mount provides due to multiple mounting points for greater rigidity of the chassis and at the same time prevents any movement by the power of the engine.
FOLDABLE BATTERY HOLDING
Velcro straps as battery mounts are unsafe and don't look good. Here the TRAXXAS engineers have done a great job. With a proven snap-on fastening, your batteries are held securely and tightly. Changing batteries is quick and easy.
HEAVY-DUTY C-HUBS
The SLEDGE uses an oversized C-HUB suspension instead of traditional pivot ball suspensions. The C-HUB suspension is the ideal solution for a modern 1/8 off-road truck, requiring significantly less maintenance, easier to adjust and impossible to misalign. Steel bushings at the pivot points reduce wear and ensure a long service life.
FIXED STEERING & CAMBER LINKS
Adjustable suspensions have their place on race tracks,but for bashing, strong tie rods provide extreme durability. With these strong tie rods there is no misalignment or breakage. Double fuses prevent the tie rods from jumping off or tearing off.
TRACK-READY PERFORMANCE
Thanks to its superiority, the SLEDGE already delivers an optimized setup for any track condition. This is ensured by the ultra-low center of gravity and the perfect vehicle design. For drivers who want a little more, TRAXXAS already offers available optional accessories to make additional adjustments or change the colors.
SLEDGEHAMMER® TIRES
The motocross-inspired aggressive tread design sticks perfectly to all ground conditions. The high quality foam insert is sufficiently resistant to the enormous stresses to which it is subjected, and a new innovative adhesive technology prevents the tire from detaching from the rim. Sledgehammer tires can be worn down to slicks without showing visible damage.
sUPERIOR WATERPROOFING
There's a difference between waterproof and water resistant. The SLEDGE continues TRAXXAS' patented waterproofing system and sets the standard for waterproofing in the 1/8 truck class.
THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF TESTING
In addition to design and engineering, TRAXXAS invested a lot of time and resources in testing new parts before they went into final production. Thousands of hours of testing have gone into the SLEDGE to prove its durability and performance.
FIT AND FINISH
Fit, finish and attention to detail are unparalleled on the SLEDGE. Parts are beautifully integrated, molded and assembled to exacting tolerances. All wiring is hidden and well protected.
THE TRAXXAS EXPERIENCE
Traxxas directly addressed the flaws and shortcomings in the 6S truck segment when designing the SLEDGE to offer one of the best performing 1/8 trucks on the market. For the R/C enthusiast, that means less frustration over broken parts and more fun driving and bashing.
The SLEDGE is built for success
