Looking to add some excitement to your RC adventures? The Traxxas Sledge is the ultimate off-road beast built to dominate any terrain. Here at RCSuperStore, we understand the thrill of owning a top-tier RC vehicle. The Sledge is engineered for the toughest terrains and the most exhilarating adventures, blending power, durability, and advanced technology in one formidable package.

Unmatched Power and Performance

At the heart of the Traxxas Sledge lies a brushless Velineon 2000kV motor and a VXL-6s ESC, delivering unprecedented power and speed. This isn't just speed; it's raw, unbridled power that lets you conquer any terrain, from rugged trails to wide-open fields. Whether you're tearing through mud, sand, or gravel, the Traxxas Sledge delivers relentless performance that leaves the competition in the dust.

The driveline of the Traxxas Sledge is engineered for extreme durability and performance. Featuring heavy-duty steel driveshafts and a steel dogbone center driveline, the Sledge is built to handle the immense power delivered by its brushless motor. The stub axles and drive cups ensure effective power transmission to the wheels, providing relentless acceleration and top-end speed.

Unbreakable Durability

Traxxas has engineered the Sledge with durability in mind, ensuring it withstands the most extreme off-road conditions. The robust chassis is crafted from high-strength materials, providing a rock-solid foundation for all your high-adrenaline adventures. The heavy-duty driveshafts, reinforced suspension arms, and rugged steel gears work in unison to absorb the harshest impacts, keeping your Sledge running smoothly no matter how intense the action gets.

GPM Racing Aluminum Upgrades

To elevate your Sledge to the next level, consider incorporating GPM Racing upgrades. GPM Racing is renowned for producing high-quality aluminum parts that enhance the durability and performance of RC vehicles. For the Traxxas Sledge, GPM offers a range of aluminum upgrades, including:

  • Aluminum Front and Rear Shock Towers: These upgrades provide increased strength and stability, allowing your Sledge to absorb the harshest impacts without compromising performance.
  • Aluminum Suspension Arms: Replace the stock plastic suspension arms with GPM's aluminum versions for superior durability and reduced flex, ensuring consistent handling and control.
  • Aluminum Steering Assembly: Upgrade to an aluminum steering assembly for more precise steering response and improved durability, essential for high-speed runs and tight cornering.

Advanced Suspension System

One of the standout features of the Traxxas Sledge is its exceptional handling, made possible by its advanced suspension system. The GT-Maxx shocks are a key component, offering superior stability and control. These oil-filled, adjustable shocks are designed to absorb the toughest impacts, ensuring a smooth ride even on the roughest terrains. GPM Racing takes this a step further with their aluminum shock upgrades.

Innovative Technology

The Sledge is not just about brute strength, it’s packed with cutting-edge technology that enhances your driving experience. The TQi 2.4GHz radio system offers precise control and a range of customization options. With the Traxxas Link app and the optional Bluetooth module, you can fine-tune your truck’s performance settings, monitor real-time telemetry data, and set custom profiles for different driving conditions. This advanced connectivity ensures you're always in control, optimizing performance for maximum enjoyment. It's like having a virtual dashboard for your Sledge, providing essential insights for optimizing performance and enjoyment.

Eye-Catching Design

The Traxxas Sledge is a visual powerhouse as well. Its aggressive stance, bold graphics, and attention to detail make it a head-turner wherever you go. The sleek body design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also aerodynamically optimized to reduce drag and improve performance. With GPM Racing’s aluminum parts, you can add a splash of color and style to your Sledge, making it as unique as it is powerful.

Want to go above and beyond? Make it even more exciting by opting for a clear body to unleash the ultimate customization. You can truly make your Sledge reflect your unique style with endless possibilities for paint techniques, graphics, and decals.

Enhanced Protection with Skid Plates

Skid plates are a crucial upgrade for the Traxxas Sledge. These protective components shield the underside of your truck from rough terrain, rocks, and debris, ensuring that vital parts like the chassis and driveline remain intact and functional. Designed to withstand heavy impacts, these skid plates reduce wear and tear, extending the lifespan of your Sledge. With these in place, you can bash harder and longer with the confidence that your RC truck is well-protected.

Maintaining Your RC: Tips for Peak Performance

  • Regularly clean and inspect your Sledge after each run to ensure optimal performance.
  • Replace worn-out or damaged parts as needed to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
  • Check electronics periodically for any issues or updates to maximize performance and longevity.
