I wound up putting some earplugs in my center diff which has helped with the ballooning as well. Those tires look pretty amazing though.

[@ronbusa3735]

Went from great to superior .. awesome hooking grip very nice

[@jhicks1774]

Thanks for the review and info.

[@justinhopkins2203]

Love watching your videos great content I got a sledge the day it came out I’m a traxxas guy but I’m going next week to buy either a kraton 6s or typhon both have there pros and cons but sooner or later they all break

[@rogueFactor]

oh my gosh that is so beastly now. i can't wait to see it rip some terrain! the servo has high torque but slow speed. I'm not real sure an upgrade is necessary but i'm stickin' my Savox SA-1230 into mine.

[@kasperstasiewicz4965]

Ballooning tires aren't per se bad! If you need much air control, ballooning will help to flip the RC-trucks. If you prefer to speed run or speed driving (like in this video) belted tires will be the first option. But yeah, the Sledgehammer's 3,8"or Talon's EXT 3,8" are ballooning in my opinion just a litten bit to much. Thanks for the nice video! 👍🏻 Greetings from Germany

[@DashzRight]

Belted tires simply make the car less fun, like I would use a road car for speed running, these 1/8 truggies are just bashers…

[@ryanfisher6402]

I use the talon tires stopped my excessive ballooning and pack that center diff full of 20 million weight to that really helped mine

[@TwigoGamer]

Thx for the tires suggestion I’m going to get some

[@SunpadowLipos]

WOW Great

[@stevenbell7566]

Ran my sledge on stock tires with stock gearing for about 5 hours and exploded at 55mph so thank you

[@CeeBeeW19]

I broke the motor out of mine within about a month, they warrantied it and as soon as I got the new motor I tried it on high-speed gearing and blew a rear tire out. Looking at some belted ones for after I inevitably blow my new set out!

[@Iinustechtips]

I like the trencher 3.8 belted on mine.

[@jasonedwards5292]

I've been running the power hobby raptor tires on my sledge and it is night and day difference. The raptor tires are slot more controllable in the dirt allowing me to get to full throttle sooner w/I it trying to back flip. Not as much "air control" as stock tires but I. Still able to make corrections mid flight. Anyone that hasn't I suggest getting the IQ module so you can turn down the braking. At 65% I am still able to do stoppies w/o the truck just doing cart wheels.

[@robertmaines1153]

Put the 18/46 spur and pinion on my sledge the day I got it and second day both rear tires blew off badly lol. Continued to give it hell with it vibrating around like crazy then this sheared off the rear pins that hold the carriers in. Operator error of course. Got a pair of proline badlands 3.8 and have not had a problem since.

[@dtrim7450]

Nice! My question, how quickly do these tires roll the car in air compared to stock? Air control?

[@CarltonMorrow-ce5lt]

Yep belted proline badlands on mine same green color but built got the gpm reverse motor mount thicker black chassis full gpm build except the shock towers carbon fiber and castle mamba monster x 8s castle 1650 kv short can twin 4s spectrum 5000 mah 100 c ic5’s not sure its top speed but Definitely over 80 mph it gets hot but not too much

[@kc7ozc]

In the short time, and light usage, of the Sledge I noticed what I consider excessive front tire ballooning (even on 4s). I replaced the stock sledghammer tires with ProLine belted Badlands tires with very much the same results shown with the PowerHobby tires.

[@pooljunki1]

how is everything holding up, i worry about the extra weight taking a toll on the drive line

[@dustinreilly1221]

If the front rear tires are ballooning differently (dramatically) check your diff fluid levels

[@Aussieknuckleheads]

the center diffs need more fluid in them too as most of them I've seen aren't even half full. Those power hobby tyres are sweet tho.

[@jdpasl]

LOL Front wheelies, that is awesome!

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Hey jd hope you are doing well. It’s the first rc car I’ve ever had that will pull a ‘stoppie’ I tried to get it to front flip under hard braking but no joy!

[@jdpasl]

@@DriftomaniacsRC still fun to watch. You did great!

[@zachyurkus]

@@DriftomaniacsRC I got mine to go completely end over end upon hard braking on both pavement and grass! It’s pretty insane!

[@gaming_with_masila]

Wow

[@daniloreyes2]

What would be the difference in weigh from these to the stock tires?

[@nutec6034]

Can you mount Xmaxx tyres in sledge, and how does it drive compared to the xmaxx?

[@Martin-mp8mu]

what do you thing are the best tires for e revo 2.0 on 6s ? the sledgehamer tires 3.8"? or some belted?

[@taxpayertroy]

Are you running stock sledge hubs w these tires?

[@anthonylattanzi3199]

What's the top speed with the 20 46 gearing on 6s?

[@BreinGames]

Out of curiosity, why aren’t all rc tires belted? Do they cost more or something?

[@jacobrjager]

Wax earplugs in the center diff will help lessen the ballooning and put egual power to the front and back. The front balloons while the back doesn't because it's diffing out and a thicker center will prevent that but you need REAL thick....like silicone swimming ear plugs

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Jake cheers for the feedback I run a lot of serious speed run cars. I shot this without thinking about the center diff. I will try some 250k diff grease/oil in over the weekend as it’s a 5 min job to take this thing apart. Going to skatepark next week as it’s rained every day this week

[@jacobrjager]

@@DriftomaniacsRC if you're going to send it, silicone ear plugs will very nearly lock the center diff while leaving it with just enough play to help prevent breaks...all depends on what you're trying to accomplish over all but I've found locking up the center diff definitely helps with air control 😉

[@zachyurkus]

@@DriftomaniacsRC I just got mine a couple days ago and have a similar issue. The stock fluid is 20 million weight. Traxxas part number for more is 5040. Supposedly many went out low on fluid. I have the fluid in front of me now (just came home with it, a sway bar kit, and some belted street tires for top speed pavement runs) but haven’t topped her off yet to see how dramatic of a difference it makes. Can report back, but yours is looking sweet too! Look forward to seeing what you do with it.

[@theforerunners5171]

@@DriftomaniacsRC 250k oil for the center diff is too low, stock it comes with 20mil. Just wanted to make you aware.

[@Barbariandisks]

Div grease will help stop the ballooning

[@edgaralmeida5496]

Do you suggest any good belted tires for Traxxas udr?

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I would contact power hobby as they cover pretty much every Traxxas car. Sorry I sold my use a while back

[@edgaralmeida5496]

@@DriftomaniacsRC thanks

[@HeadBassVTEC]

they're almost exact copies of Proline Badlands MX38, exactly the same size, very similar thread pattern, tire compound who knows....$60 vs $70 for the Prolines personally I would rather buy the real thing from a tire specialist for $10 more than risk them suck and wasting $120...if they were half the Badlands price then I would give them a try but not at that price....I am not saying the do suck but it's like buying $60 dollar wallmart noname tires instead of $70 for Michelins ;o]] the Proline wheels also have replacable hex adapters and they give you 0 offset and 1/2" offset ones...so more flexibility plus in case you strip the hex adapter you can easily replace it and save the wheel & tire so imo a better value than these

[@rcsendandblast1579]

It needs a new something else tires ain’t the main cure. I believe the servo is what needs some upgrading to I’m glad yours hasn’t broke yet
