Opening My Traxxas Sledge AND Fixing Some Issues

[@rcmiamimozzy1210]

Your excitement and love for the Hobby is unmatched. When you drop a video it’s always a must watch and you never fail to leave me with something new that I learned just from your video. I just moved to Ga a few months ago and I hope to run into one day at a Hobby Shop or Park so I can get a Autograph and Pic with you and more than anything run some RCs with you. Keep up the awesome work Outsourced RC!!!!

[@earlmoorhead5555]

That smile when seeing a new rc you have makes me smile 💪💪

[@dustinspencer8641]

I got my sledge today it the blue body ,the tires were all glued but check all the screws. Most of the screws were loose, especially on the diff covers on the front an rear. I used fuel line for my rear shocks. It runs an handles great, one of the best handling RC CARS I'VE ever driven.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks for the o-ring part numbers ima go grab some 👍👍

[@BigJeezie]

This video and your enjoyment pushed me over the edge to order myself a Orange Sledge. Can’t wait for it to come!

[@Rch_P]

Colors out of the box are always different then the press photos. I just picked up a green X-maxx yesterday and I was disappointed that my least favorite livery was the only one available at Hobbytown. But the color is growing on me and I’m really glad it’s what I got.

[@rogueFactor]

i'm sooo stoked i saw the thumbnail with your ear to ear grin!

[@mattiasrc]

Looks really nice in black/orange.

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Sweet unboxing and prep before running it. 😂😂😀

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Really love your videos. I'm in the UK and the sledge is on sale from 8th April. I have one on order. So exciting. Can't wait to see your video tomorrow. Keep up just doing what your doing. Brilliant, informative and entertaining. John. Well done.

[@thomaskaufmann226]

I swear there was a Kraton on the bench with the Sledge. You DID buy it😲

[@Art-zs6sl]

The orange is my favorite body color for the Sledge, it looks perfect! Would love to see you run this against the Revo. Prices are going up, let's hope the durability and performance scales with it!

[@kopykat3975]

Very nice truck! Enjoyed watching your video.

[@davidigra]

From what I understand, there's supposed to be an O-ring in there already. It's there in the schematics but seems to be missing in many Sledges.

[@lazy986]

My sledge didn't come with o rings and it doesn't show them in the diagrams. I think this was a good, quick catch by Traxxas.

[@ron486]

Great video. Awesome tech tip. Thanks for sharing.

[@moneymanjoe9639]

This rig looks awesome, this for sure will be my present to myself for Christmas.

[@kmarkdR1]

Looks Awesome. Matches your cap and logo perfectly 😃👍

[@vitodambra72]

I checked my sledge and the o-rings where there, do you think i should add an extra O-ring? Thanks for the video love your content

[@rhoads3120]

Lol,nice try, Orange is one of my favorite colors as well, alongside the black and charcoal colors my new Hoss is red and black, but I love the dark colors, I’m glad you get the chance to compare them at the same time, can’t wait to see what you think, keep the good stuff coming 🤪

[@vildebill2000]

In Sweden that is a 900usd car w/o battery. And I would have to start to fix "some issues" right out of the box??? No way my money is going in that direction until obvious flaws are fixed !

[@michaelmacisco2566]

Yesssss !! Cant wait ! Supposed to get one tomorrow

[@zerrickdracing6784]

Right a red one lol like the one in back of you lol. 🤣 glad you got one and I'm glad you got both I really hope you have fun with both and they both blow your mind

[@thomasrussojr4603]

I may be crazy or blind but isn't that a Kraton on the table with your Sledge?

[@bobbyeskey1526]

Just got a sledge the other day glad u posted the oring trick ill be doing that to mine

[@jimeikevag3146]

Look foreward to tomorrow. If this car in your eyes exceeds the erevo 2.0, then I'm all in. I respect your opinion.👍 Thank you for making these videos.

[@fredramsey]

Thanks for telling us what O rings to get! Amazon has them too.

[@kevinerickson2595]

Haven’t seen you in awhile, wishing you a great Halloween 🎃

[@samlinworth5440]

I wanna get me one of those sledges for sure! Gotta save for a while!

[@RCRoads]

You seem real excited about the Sledge. It sure looks like an extreme basher. Almost indestructible. It's almost a shame to get it dirty it's so nice looking. Have fun man ...

[@chrisryder4709]

I'm driving my sledge for the first to time today , I'll get someo rings first , thanx !!!

[@SOMNIOHM]

If only Losi would now pick up where Traxxas left off! *and Arrma for tha matter*... they should release a "Basher Truggy" in the form of a "TLR Roller Kit".. 😅😂😂Ohhh how I'd be all about that!!! They had the LST... now just give us the TLR LBT!! LosiBasherTruggy!😂 They did the collab with ARRMA for the TLR Typhon... they need to do a collab with Traxxxas for the TLR Sledge!!!

[@FilipRadelic]

April what?! You… 🤣 Really looking forward to this vid. I’m moving later this year and was planning to get the E-Revo since I’ll finallyhave room for a bigger RC (my son and I got minies and love them), but Sledge came out and now I’m only 98.4% sure about E-Revo 😅

[@nvl2691]

I decided to keep my E-Revo. It's so unique, nothing else out there like it. Might write a guide for the 2.0 if I ever find the time to !

[@FilipRadelic]

@@nvl2691 yeah, I don’t see the Sledge causing as much emotions as E-Revo. It’s basically just another truggy.

[@charlescarpenter1330]

Sweet first one to your video for the first time lol love your channel! I can relate to you!

[@PitviperCPVP]

Sledge vs e revo

[@davidtodd3435]

I’m real excited about the Sledge. I’ll still waiting to see reviews on the RC, but most of it has been really good. Can’t wait to finally to buy it.

[@truerc]

Styrofoam is usually preferable. Had a Losi came loose bouncing around in the box because of cardboard.

[@DB-qm4jx]

Absolutely. For the cost we pay for the Saints it is nice to have Styrofoam when you know it’s pretty dang not likely for to get broken

[@ogrc9590]

It matches your hat that's cool😃👍🏽

[@chancecamp4752]

Awesome video!

[@Watermoehlen]

I feel like you’re the first I’ve seen with the orange body, and I’d have to say, it’s my favorite color now

[@Xaero324]

I'm new to RC - why do you need to glue the wheels together? I've seen people mention this before.

[@williamoleary9330]

Sad we have to do these pre checks with a lot if not all the new Traxxas vehicles. Their quality control has need bad the last 2 years or more

[@michaelgarland579]

Need to check the dog bones there should be a wasser rubber where the dog bones come out it doesn't have that the dog bones come out

[@villaribabambule]

I am excized to see you running Sledge in comparison to the E Revo.

[@j.v.k7022]

Sledge VS Erevo!!! Who will win??? You will find out!!! Greaaaaaaaaaaaat VIDEOS!!!

[@runnerbaba]

you are da Man!! thank you Sir

[@brettradecki]

You comedian you! Look forward to tomorrow.

[@thebandit188]

Has anyone used the Sledgehammer tires on the Rustler 4x4 VXL? I’ve broken a front axle during 3ft jump off a grass hill onto grass (It landed on the edge of the tire). I contacted Traxxas and they told me to loosen the slipper clutch half a turn to remove pressure off the driveline. I wasn’t sure about this response from Traxxas. I do release the throttle when landing any jump to avoid driveline shock.

[@erichowell5370]

Cool!!! I have to get one!!

[@michaelmacisco2566]

Scoobie doo ending !! Lmao ❤️🍿🍾💪⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@uan588]

O rings ✅ now everyone ✅ center diff. Then good to go.

[@kyleburton8034]

I see what you did there. 😂

[@dylanwhite6539]

But would you get rid of the erevo?

[@zerrickdracing6784]

Denver Broncos colors nice

[@314biggy]

Let’s go!! Been waiting for this.

[@lazy986]

Don't forget to check your center diff oil. 20 mil weight. Ya might need some silicone ear plugs.

[@HNunyabusiness]

Do you like it better then the Erevo?

[@DiggingRob]

Is this replacing the E Revo

[@BreydonsRC]

Beautiful truck man. I hope she holds up to the Revo. Sharing this on RCTalk forum in a discussion about this. Love how excited you get when you get a new RC 😁

[@butzaman5139]

Almost bought the Sledgehammer. But I have so many Traxxas cars I went with the Losi super Baja rey. Real world problems

[@nickpacello2597]

The Orange on the Sledge looks like it matches the orange in your hat

[@meanf1502]

The sledge is from Florida like all the 4x4 truck guys squat the rear an do 6 inch lift to the front

[@outsourcedrc]

Lol should I mulch it?

[@whiskeytrigger31]

I found a random pice of metal inside my front shock on my maxx. I waited 3 months drove for a week until I sent it 20 feet up. The shock didn't come back down I thought it was bent untill I took it apart. If I could add pictures everyone would be surprised what it did to the shock.

[@DashzRight]

In the exploded view it shows o rings inside the cups, so they forgot…

[@outsourcedrc]

Some people have reported that their manuals don’t show the O rings. I think those are an earlier version

[@P.Trick93]

Wait do you have a Kraton now or not?

[@latorriesmith123]

Love the enthusiasm brother....I'm glad to be a newbie in this hobby!!!

[@outsourcedrc]

Welcome to the club!

[@lesforemoremoreforeles8626]

🔥🔥🔥

[@chrischupp9760]

Think the Sledge will be a hit

[@tonydetwiler2624]

Traxxas needs to make a nitro version of it now or add a new nitro keep nitro alive #nitrogang

[@codenamethecleaner7519]

Not gona happen, especially with the worlds emissions problem global warming etc, gas is being pushed out little by little I doubt they’re gona allow toys to have them

[@Moggmodels23]

Brilliant video mate and a lot of talking 👄 mate 👏

[@onemansvideos2134]

Its also missing droop screws

[@blaketundra3216]

I wonder if the sway bars fix the dogbone issue

[@Johnwick-ed7vo]

Lol kraton in red on the table

[@landonwiebe7815]

so badly want one!!

[@RCBasherLiMa]

I have the kraton and sledge and the sledge is nothing but problems

[@itzzgraham]

Great video man I just subscribed!

[@dstjamesrc6395]

I think the Kraton EXB 6S is the closest rival to the Sledge.

[@codenamethecleaner7519]

Any truggy is a rival lol

[@lambyg2802]

Kraton EXB is number 1. No other car compares to that class of car

[@Brayrfd1192]

​​@@lambyg2802kraton exb is 900+ after electronics. sledge is 700 with electronics and the diffs are better

[@szaboarpad9518]

But where did you put it? You didn't show....!!!!!!

[@staccatoglock]

Good to know you gotta buy o-rings and put in an $800 model to keep the dog bones from popping out😑🐒💩SMFH

[@spike--]

😭

[@luiscastillodelao9839]

I love that RC so happy for u

[@ImThatGhostz]

Not a fan of the sledge but decided to watch anyway and decided i needed to subscribe lol. Great vid

[@kaiarneberg9203]

Haha who's kraton is that? 😅😅

[@imserious2187]

i want one, but 800 is too much (in my opinion)

[@michaelczombel725]

I'll run my ho bao hyper the against that anytime, hyper the 6s with a 2000kv brushless,150amp esc. I'll smoke that

[@mikegregory8917]

Dont understand why the body is orange and everything else is blue

[@rraphamonkey8312]

What kraton is that on the table?? 😂😂😂😂

[@backdada]

yeah yeah...) you don't have a kraton, especially red)

[@chriswagner6310]

Hi

[@ktmjay9920]

Drive it like u stole it

[@XratedRC]

Traxxas charge top dollor yet cant glue their tyres properly. really annoys me

[@zerrickdracing6784]

Lol

[@darrellwright3105]

Hahaha! You would never have a kraton to compare to ..awesome photo bomb on the table 👍

[@Mr450pro]

You can’t hide that you don’t like Kraton 😂

[@outsourcedrc]

I don't dislike the Kraton. It's kind of a running gag that I don't like it.

[@runnerbaba]

There is/should be a special TRX Number for these o ring, but not just yet: trx9680

[@bryanpeterson7720]

Traxxas uses Elmer's Glue on the tires

[@bryanpeterson7720]

Wow an 800 truck and all you can talk about is the color yeah the whole thing turned out to be a sad story glad I didn't waste my money on it buy a serpent

[@bryanpeterson7720]

He's not a very good liar
