Belted Sledgehammer Tires
Sledge’s belted Sledgehammer®
THE TRAXXAS EXPERIENCE
Sledge delivers a powerful and fulfilling Traxxas experience. This means class-leading power, ultimate quality, and durability that is engineered to be second to none.
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.
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.
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 a cooling fan (3476, sold separately). 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 (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)®
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.
DETAILS
GT-Maxx Shocks
GT-Maxx®
High Downforce Wing
Sledge’s high-downforce wing puts the wind to work with molded-in wear pads to protect the wing against ground-scraping wheelies.
High-Tech Suspension Arms
Formed from our toughest composite material, heavy-duty suspension arms use high-grade steel pins that press into the arms for tighter tolerances.
Heavy-Duty Chassis Braces
Sledge’s heavy-duty front and rear braces combine with the aluminum chassis and rigid T-Bar™ to create a radically strong triangulated structure.
VXL-6s Speed Control
The proven Velineon®
Aluminum T-Bar
The unique shape of Sledge’s aluminum T-Bar™ brace delivers cross-sectional stiffness no round tube can match. The T-Bar also keys perfectly into the bulkheads so they absorb impact forces, and not the attachment screws.
High Strength Aluminum Plate Chassis
Sledge’s chassis uses flanged edges from bulkhead to bulkhead to eliminate weak points. Additional strengthening ribs add extra rigidity in high-stress locations and the side guards fit tightly to the chassis for a seamless look.
Rigid Battery Tray
Sledge’s roomy battery tray accepts a variety of 4s and 6s configurations. Battery changes take just seconds with no clips or straps required.
Aluminum Motor Cradle
Sledge secures its 2000 Kv brushless motor in place with a wrap-around aluminum cradle to eliminate all flex points. Built-in bosses make it easy to attach the accessory cooling fan (part 3476, sold separately).
Belted Sledgehammer Tires
The Sledgehammer’s thick tread blocks bite into rough terrain for outstanding all-surface grip. Traxxas’ tire bonding innovation keeps them locked onto the 3.8" wheels with a vise-like grip. Lightweight belting maintains the tire’s shape for a larger contact patch, more grip, and responsive handling at any speed.
Total Steering Authority
Sledge’s waterproof 2275 metal gear servo competes with expensive aftermarket servos with over 20 pounds (347 oz-in) of torque @6.0 V—eliminating the need for servo upgrades.
6061-T6 Aluminum Shock Towers
Sledge’s shock towers are cut from 5 mm thick 6061-T6 aluminum and tie directly into the center brace for bulletproof strength and durability.
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.
