This is the Traxxas Sledge 1/8 scale 4WD brushless monster truck. Fully assembled, Ready-To-Race, with TQi 2.4GHz radio system, VXL-6s brushless power system, Belted Sledgehammer Tires and ProGraphix clipless body.
The new 6S Sledge has been beefed up with Belted Sledgehammer Tires and Color-Matched Blue, Red, Green, and Orange Aluminum Parts.
Belted Sledgehammer Tires
Explore Sledge’s top speed with confidence and control. New belted Sledgehammer tires provide more precise feel, with instant response to control inputs. Traxxas' belting process results in less tire distortion, allowing Sledge to feel even faster with a larger, more consistent contact patch on the ground.
Game-Changing Stability
Experience the full power of Sledge in a whole new way. Traxxas belted tires resist ballooning to provide ultimate stability and control at high speeds.
Geared For Belted Tires
With new belted tires, hardened steel 15/52 gearing is now standard to maintain the incredible speed and relentless acceleration Sledge is known for.
Color-Matched Aluminum
All-new graphics are available in four colors with color-matched aluminum chassis, shocks, wheel hubs, shock towers, tie bars, T-bar, and more.
