Precision Engineering
Look anywhere on Sledge to find parts that are beautifully integrated, formed, and assembled with precisely maintained tolerances. Overall fit, finish, and attention to detail on Sledge are superb.
Ultra-Solid Foundation
A full-length formed-edge aluminum chassis with four stiffening ribs is just the beginning. Huge front and rear support trusses attach at six points across the chassis and then integrate seamlessly into the patent-pending aluminum T-Bar™. Each of these engineered solutions combine to deliver class-leading chassis strength that has been proven in thousands of hours of brutal testing.
Strength to the Extreme
Sledge channels explosive 6s brushless power through a properly sized all-steel driveline that is engineered for maximum strength and long life. Massive steel gears and proven 4-gear differentials transfer the power to high-strength steel driveshafts. Smooth-running CV joints are used in front. The center shafts feature greased and boot-protected outboard joints for cool-running, long-lasting performance.
Engineered for 6s Power
Steel differential gears are built to handle the Velineon’s aggressive power curve. Sledge’s ring gears pack on 20% more steel than traditional 1/8 scale trucks so you can hammer the throttle and not hold back.
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.
Our Most Potent VXL-6s Power System
The VXL-6s speed control is loaded with a hot new tune to extract maximum torque from the all-new Velineon 2000 Kv motor. Greater efficiency delivers more power under the curve for additional mid-range punch and acceleration you can see and feel. Cooling fins are machined into the motor housing for cooler running and peak power.
Zero-Flex Aluminum Motor Cradle
A cast aluminum motor cradle with fixed gear mesh provides full-contact support for the entire motor. The cradle dissipates heat through the chassis, and features an integrated fan mount that allows for installation of an optional cooling fan (3476). Zero motor movement. Zero spur and pinon crash. Period.
Rugged C-Hubs
Sledge's heavy-duty C-hub front suspension design allowed Traxxas engineers to make the parts bigger and tougher for ultimate durability and impact-resistance. Precise steering alignment and geometry are maintained while the steel pin bushing inserts minimize wear. Beefy hardened-steel suspension pins are secured with locknuts for extra security.
Fully Waterproof
There’s a difference between waterproof and water resistant. Sledge continues the Traxxas legacy with our patented, industry-leading waterproofing solutions.
TQi Radio System
The high-output Traxxas TQi™ 2.4 GHz radio system delivers superior range, 30-model memory, and maximum control. Add the Traxxas Link™ Wireless Module (part 6511, sold separately) to send real-time telemetry to your smart phone using the free Traxxas Link app.
Traxxas Stability Management
Traxxas Stability Management (TSM)® makes it easy for anyone to experience full 6s Velineon horsepower. TSM works behind the scenes to control oversteer, avoid spinouts, and keep the focus on high-performance fun. Learn More
Reinforced Clipless Body
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.
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.

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.

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.
