High Strength Hinge Pin Retainers

Heavy-duty 6061-T6 aluminum retainers hold the hardened steel hinge pins firmly in place. This allows for tighter tolerances than conventional sliding pins and sharper handling.

Extreme-Duty Composite Camber & Toe Links

Sledge’s energy-absorbing one-piece links return to shape if flexed and won’t pull apart or bend in a crash. They’re already pre-set for track worthy handling with optimal camber and toe settings.

Rugged C-Hubs with Double Shear Connections

Sledge’s rugged C-hub design combines superior durability and impact resistance with precise steering alignment. Double shear connections keep the toe links securely fastened even during hard hits.

Steel Center Driveshafts

Super-duty solid steel driveshafts deliver power from the Torque-Biasing Center Drive to the differentials. Rubber boots on the joints seal grease in and keep dirt out.

Oversized Sealed Bearings

Traxxas equips Sledge with oversize bearings throughout the drivetrain to ensure lasting precision and performance.

Torque-Biasing Center Drive

Traditional center diffs can’t handle 6s power. Sledge’s Torque-Biasing Center Drive is filled with thick silicone fluid to distribute power evenly for full 6s thrust with every launch and corner exit.

Steel Outer Driveshafts

Solid-steel driveshafts transfer Sledge’s massive 6s power from the differentials to the wheels via heavy-duty dogbones and constant-velocity joints in front so you can be as heavy on the throttle as you want.

Steel-Gear Differentials

Sledge uses true 6s differentials to handle its ferocious power. Oversized coarse-pitch steel gears are 20% larger and 75% thicker than traditional 1/8 scale components for lasting performance.

Sledge’s energy-absorbing one-piece links return to shape if flexed and won’t pull apart or bend in a crash. They’re already pre-set for track worthy handling with optimal camber and toe settings.

Rugged C-Hubs with Double Shear Connections

Sledge’s rugged C-hub design combines superior durability and impact resistance with precise steering alignment. Double shear connections keep the toe links securely fastened even during hard hits.

Steel Center Driveshafts

Super-duty solid steel driveshafts deliver power from the Torque-Biasing Center Drive to the differentials. Rubber boots on the joints seal grease in and keep dirt out.

Oversized Sealed Bearings

Traxxas equips Sledge with oversize bearings throughout the drivetrain to ensure lasting precision and performance.

Torque-Biasing Center Drive

Traditional center diffs can’t handle 6s power. Sledge’s Torque-Biasing Center Drive is filled with thick silicone fluid to distribute power evenly for full 6s thrust with every launch and corner exit.

Steel Outer Driveshafts

Solid-steel driveshafts transfer Sledge’s massive 6s power from the differentials to the wheels via heavy-duty dogbones and constant-velocity joints in front so you can be as heavy on the throttle as you want.

Steel-Gear Differentials

Sledge uses true 6s differentials to handle its ferocious power. Oversized coarse-pitch steel gears are 20% larger and 75% thicker than traditional 1/8 scale components for lasting performance.
