Traxxas 1/8 Sledge 6S 4WD Truggy Orange

The Traxxas Sledge RTR 6S 4WD Electric Monster Truck, is an all out basher designed to give you the power and performance for serious off-road fun. This monster truck features a rock solid chassis, massive steel drivetrain, 6S power system and race inspired handling. These features lead to a truck that is designed to push the limits of off-road bashing and look good in the process. Pick up the Traxxas Sledge and leave everything else in the dust.

Powering this monster truck is a Traxxas VXL-6S Velineon ESC and a 2000kV Brushless Motor. Traxxas then used massive steel gears, a triangulated chassis and a center T-bar brace to hold up to the 6S power. A special aluminum motor cradle is used to secure the motor in place eliminating motor  flex. The drive train features a torque-biasing center differential that distribute power evenly throughout the chassis. Solid steel axles are used front, center and rear to deliver the power to the wheels. The shock towers are 5mm thick and are tied directly to the center brace for further durability. Holding the truck up are large-bore GT-Maxx aluminum shocks mounted with 4mm hardware. Traxxas left no stone unturned and developed a truck that is ready for any terrain.

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. 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.

The Traxxas Experience
