Top Selling Traxxas Sledge 4WD 1/8 RTR (Blue)

REDEFINING 1/8 SCALE OFF-ROAD

Engineered. Tested. Built to a higher standard. The all-new Sledge is made to exceed your expectations for quality, toughness, and fun. The rock-solidchassis, massive steel drivetrain, ferocious 6s power, and race-inspired handling leave everything else in the dust.

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.

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™. Built on a solid foundation, Sledge is strongest where it matters most.

NEW 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.

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.

VXL-6s POWER SYSTEM

The Velineon VXL-6s features new hardware and new tuning specifically for the 2000kV motor. Together they deliver substantially more power under the curve for increased mid-range punch and hard-charging acceleration you can see and feel.

SLEDGEHAMMER TIRES

Premium Sledgehammer® tires are standard equipment. No tire upgrade required. Durable foam inserts are designed to not  bunch up or break down. Patent-pending Traxxas innovation improves the tire bonding process to reduce the chance of a blown-out bead while exploring the upper range of Sledge’s capability.
