The Most Insane Traxxas Sledge Video Ever!

Jesus man that ramp is insane and that sledge sounds like a nitro.

[@thunderrc]

Thanks dude! The Sledge did awesome today!⚡️⚡️⚡️🔥

[@jonk967]

DUDE, front flip to back flip, body coming off, and just killer run man!!!! That was an awsome and absolute test for any rig!!! Traxxas should take a look at this video and see where they can correct some issues!! Great stuff!!

Thank you so much brotha! I try to push the limits daily here at Thunder🔥🏆🧨⚡️

[@Jarcademis]

@@thunderrc did you have to upgrade the shock oil?

[@chapocanal3450]

Honestly I think it perform better than what they say in the box I don’t think Traxxas is gone say it good for 30 to 40 feet high jumps I mean let’s be honest this cars are bashing jumping but this is extreme and I think it handle really well if it was me I couldn’t complain about anything

[@thunderrc]

@@Jarcademis Nope the shock oils are completely stock ⚡️👍🏆

[@TylerSaleik]

For the stripped screw, if it happens again, grab a dremel with the circular cutting bit, cut a notch in the screw for a flathead screw driver

How do you do these front flips?? When I try them with my kraton it always flys sideways and lands on an arm and kills it. Do you just hit the brakes after it takes of? Please tell me. Awesome vid, that sledge is really taking a beating. I can’t wait for m2c to come out with some killer parts to make it really bulletproof!

[@Blehme]

Haha dat rage mang, i can feels it! And I do like the sledge, but you shouldn't have to pay 200$ MORE than the competition, just to spend even more for M2C to fix their half assery... I'll stick to a Maxx/XMaxx and ARRMA Outcast/Kraton for bashing. We really don't need a flat chassis Traxxas IMO when you have your creative design teams coming up with things like the Xmaxx and Revo etc... Those are some crazy fun engineering to play with!
