Traxxas Sledge 4WD Monster Truck Red 1/8

Engineered. Tested. Built to a higher standard. The all-new Sledge® is made to exceed your expectations for quality, toughness and fun!
The rock-solid chassis, 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. 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 aluminium 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 aluminium centre 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.
The Traxxas Experience
The all-new 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.
