Traxxas 6s Sledge on PowerHobby Belted Paddles, OOPS!!!

[@prestonsrc]

The slow mo of the tires eating is super rad haha!!

[@brettduncan4937]

Bravo! Awesome vid! Paddle tires were a great fit for the Sledge.

[@paulvandenrijen5761]

great car and i ordered my paddle tires yesterday 👍🏻

[@carlmartin2521]

Joe, get some proline paddles and rims. They have removable hexes so when you spin the hex, only need to replace the middle hex and bot the whole wheel. Have a set of those for my SBR and it has worked perfect

[@paulclancy2404]

You shouldn't be be spinning hexes i just got roped into that whole ordeal 130$ for ser 2.8 trenches lol

[@carlmartin2521]

@@paulclancy2404 well unfortunately once in awhile they come loose when you're not paying attention and there goes the hex lol

[@Rc-ho4sv]

Yeah . They also have a aluminum hub upgrade. And looks sick with it . Never an issue 😉

[@jessewilliamson2408]

hey joe m2c racing sells a kit for stripped out 17mm wheel hexs. i used them on my kraton but they are universal. you drill some holes in the plastic rim and it uses bolts to clamp the 2 pieces together around the rim. works great to save all those good tires with stripped hexs. great video also man

[@ExocagedRC]

I may need those. LoL

[@jessewilliamson2408]

@@ExocagedRC if you look on the arrma 6s line they are on page 3 they sell them in a set of 2 or you can get a set of 4. check them out made of 7075 also

[@paulclancy2404]

If tgey cost as much as the wheel whats the point

[@jessewilliamson2408]

@@paulclancy2404 you can use them forever. it can be used on any stripped wheels you have. not just 1. so for a 1 time buy you can use them on any wheel you strip out from then on

[@jeremycravens6973]

Gotta love the proline removable hex!

[@johnwayne666]

Pretty freaking cool.. 🤠🤙🏼

[@EJ-74]

That looks SIIIICK 🔥 and rips dirty like crazy. Very cool 😎 🔥

[@whitsrcleftovers2707]

I love my 2.8 roosters.

[@NathanStorer-RC]

I like the Proline Dumont tires because they have the replaceable wheel hexes, but unfortunately they're not belted.

[@rcilluminati26]

I ran paddles on mine last week, I posted a vid, pretty sure it was the initial cause of my rear ring gear losing some teeth. I can almost hear some clicks when I rewatch the video. Time to upgrade

[@never-stock-rc2968]

This is why I use proline sling shots with aluminum hexs ... Sick tho

[@onemansvideos2134]

M2c has a fix for the rounded out hex

[@robertdefreitas940]

looks exactly like the e-revo that i sank a ton of money into just to watch it literally burn to the ground. idk if id be able to buy another traxxas after that burndown. good lookin truggy tho

[@Brayrfd1192]

Do you like the sledge? is it worth it?

[@uan588]

Asking honestly. Hasn’t hinge pins break. And gears and dog bone pin shift. Nothing but trouble with mine. I have 8 Traxxas vehicles. Yea m not a rookie

[@paulclancy2404]

Afraid you are 😆

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Sludge has 'new vehicle' problems as most do. My LHS owner got/sold 3. Sold 2 to newbies, 1 to a dude i know thats been n2 surface vehicles for decades. All 3 have drivetrain issues. AKA Traxxas Sludge.

[@joseCalderon1976]

It's too heavy! That's what I've noticed from the videos. And the metal used is not that good 👎

[@paulclancy2404]

I don't feel so bad about my kraton diffs now lol 😆 I own alot rcs and exactly right the heavier the vehicles and more we can get vehicles planted the more strain on the diffs . The maxx is good example even if increase the rotational mass ( i just put kraton wheels on mine) the truck can't really get the power to the ground so diffs realky aren't that stressed. The kraton sledge super-sized truggys with mt wheels the diff maintenance is the tradeoff no other vehicles going bash as well

[@SIRICKO]

I know with awd and all but idk it's just something about seeing paddles on the front is just not right to me. lol

[@ryand5665]

Maybe the plastic rims are weak

[@xalos700r]

It sucks how the sledge nose dives because of motor placement

[@paulclancy2404]

Sure uk but because its not a actually a hex and traxxas pritoratary crap and not the wheels fault have you stripped any paddles not using a traxxas rig. I just used your link for some wheels adds up fast I probably spend 1000 year on rc wheels lol

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Because YOU are a newbie/rookie. Typical mistakes.

[@scottdaubenspeck2291]

Seems like traxxas jus needs to retire the revo & proceed with this platform

[@ExocagedRC]

yeah
