TRAXXAS Sledge NEW! M2C Upgrades and MEGA Beatdown!

[@thunderrc]

Killer bash with the Sledge Bro! M2 C is killing the game right now!🙌⛈

[@RCDUDE81]

Thanks Rocky!!😁Yes M2C is going game changer level! Putting down the Thunder!😆💪💪🤟

[@jacobhenson3952]

I keep saying it the Sledge is a fun and tough truck. It has took my number one spot. I never thought the Xmaxx would get beat but it has.

[@RCDUDE81]

Yeah it is a tank! Fun to drive for sure!😁🤟🤟

[@longboardguy]

I’m liking what I see here. No doubt with your tuning and tweaking and M2C. This will be a great bashing platform and Traxxas does have great part support for the rest of the truck. I’ll be considering it strongly once M2C starts launching more mod pieces

[@twrecks116]

Skills for Days! You Got the Gearing Great on that!! Flat Out Ripper Now! 🏋️‍♀️🤩

[@MauzyrockRC]

Yes! Some needed info at the right time! ( I was popping driveshafts in my Kraton) Rubber bump stops in Shocks. I will try bump stops. 👍👍👍

Love those puddle jumps and you've certainly figured out how to manage the plastic chassis flex. Impressive bash. Good on you for tweaking Traxxas and improving it for long sends and managing bouncy lands. Looks great! You paint a new lid for it and I'll know you love it.... 😉🍻. Keep on killiin it brother!

[@TpPartsRcXtreme]

Brother Eric one thing is sure, you put some sick arse HARD test on this all new platform from Traxxas, the Sledge looks killer in your hands ( Biggest issiue are, that people missing that other brands had their platforms out for years, and like M2C making parts for them, this one been out for a few minutes 😅 ). and m2C aint killing the gane right now, they are ALWAYS killing the game ❤❤❤❤. that new MM and diffmount looks solid as few ❤❤❤

[@chadbiermann3380]

Looks like you have it dialed in perfectly!! Looks super fast and air control for days!! I'm not sure how you could see the truck through some of those dust clouds!!! But your really good at blind landings!!! Awesome video Eric!!! 💯💯😉

Nice to see the sledge is doing well with just a few hopups

RCDude81, just a heads up there is a Bot with your name and pic claiming i won a prize by texting their Number, not mad just a heads up already reported them for harassment

[@RCDUDE81]

Yes I just found out...😝Thanks for the heads up.

[@CommanderAstigRC]

Wicked wicked wicked!! M2C to the rescue. A truly proven motor mount design. This is such a killer upgrade for this truck. Awesome session and Test bro Eric. Epic sends as always Ramp Blast Bro

[@deontay79ify]

I don’t think so but better then stock ig lol, but anything was better then the stock. That esc mount design was a joke tho. But trial and ERROR.

[@RCDUDE81]

@Deontay Hieb It wasn't a joke but will be redesigned with extra support. Having the ESC up like allows for better cooling also. Pretty excited about what's coming!😁

[@robsrcinsanity1220]

Wicked bash sessions! 👍🏻🍻

[@richduperbash2966]

Wicked Rip Brother Eric 😱!!! Putting a serious test down on the mount 👊. Awesome mix of locations on this one Bro 😍. Max6 is the perfect fit for this truck. Not sure, but I'm leaning towards the lower mounting option right now. The Backflips are always a winner in my book 👌. The Sledgehammers aren't bad, but the ballooning is a bit much 😂. So stoked Mitch and Avery are working their magic to make this rig right. Should be a tank once they're done. Awesome run Brother!!! 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

[@rcpitpit700]

Bonjour de France😀 top pilotage bravo 😉👍

Thanks Brother Aaron! Yeah M2C will bring this thing next level! Can't wait for the chassis!! HUGE props to Mitch and Avery!😎🚀💪💪

[@darkki94]

Damn , amazing bash session , i hope M2C start doing parts for other brand tho, thee are A LOT of people with crazy build of Wltoys that would pay for premium parts ( especially motor mounts that are adjustable ) including me . There is something cool about having a small 1/12 that does 100km/h + and is not just street only RC.

[@codenamethecleaner7519]

He only makes parts for cars that are weak points to where enough people will need them I don’t believe WLtoys has a big enough following of those that want to dump money into them cause they’re generally for people who are on a budget which M2c is not a budget minded parts company.

[@darkki94]

@@codenamethecleaner7519 they are budget brand for sure but a lot of people build them into speed monsters and use mod1 gearing which requires another motor mount since the stock one is non adjustable.

Hey Brother, love this video, you rocked it as always. Just getting into the hobby this year, I am loving the Fireteam Buggy!! But I am not happy with the stock ESC, can I put a EZRun Max 6 in this thing without problems or just wait and put in a new motor and ESC combo? Thanks brother!!

[@Hirthirthirt]

Some questins, Sir: 1 is that the 4985-motor? 2 si the Sledge tuffer than the Kraton? I built one for a friend with all possible upgrades, even alu-diffcases/bulkheads. It is not so strong as people believe 3 please, PLEEEEEASE tell me how to secure pinion gears. No matter what car, we cannot secure them. Even the D-bore pinions on Hobbywing-motors get us loose. We let the loctite cure for days....makes no difference. Please give me a hint, Sir.

[@Dare888-MSM]

When will M2C be releasing this motor mount? It’s still unavailable on their website

[@RCDUDE81]

Yes it's still in testing! Shouldn't be too long I hope!! Stay tuned!

[@Dare888-MSM]

@@RCDUDE81 cool thanks for the super swift response! Yes looking forward to it.

[@Dare888-MSM]

Was it mentioned somewhere that the M2C wheel hubs are also compatible with the stock sledge rims?

[@RCDUDE81]

I forgot to mention but yes they are!

[@creaturerc]

Just the perfect terrain for a bash!! Like did they set you up for the weekend?? Haha

[@tktk-om8cg]

Does the hex extenders come with axle pin and grub screws

[@RCDUDE81]

No you use existing pins and grubs.

[@danimudura3213]

between xmaxx and sledge, which do you think is more durable?

[@RCDUDE81]

Neither unless upgraded. Both are durable for light general bashing but hard core both need M2C! It's 1/5 scale vs 1/8th scale so that plays a difference.

[@mikesullivan5851]

What is it that makes a car flip so fast in the air I have 2 different arrmas that I can barely get to rotate

[@RCDUDE81]

Gearing and car setup. Thicker front and center diff fluid will help too.

[@disciplinerc]

Sweet. Baby. Jesus.

[@aaronjohnson8365]

Have you ever used a Leopard Hobby or Turnigy XK brushless motor?

[@RCDUDE81]

Yes i've used both before! The Leo especially is a great motor!

[@thomashammertr9427]

how you like the traxxas diffs vs the arrma diffs? I have had so many arrma diffs blow out on me that I bought a tekno.

[@jamesflorio5115]

Great video once again! You kill it all the time! I am definitely getting the M2C motor mount when it’s available. So what do you think the safest gear ratio would be for every day bashing on the sledge? Thanks again, Jim

[@RCDUDE81]

If running stock spur I'd say 16 tooth pinion.

[@tktk-om8cg]

Hey what headmount are you using to record videos

[@RCDUDE81]

Just a standard Go Pro head strap

[@JT18260]

What kind of run times are you getting with the HRB 5200 6S?

0 bc that lipo died after 3 runs.😝🤣It wS 15-20 mins

[@omega_rc]

Hey man love your vids! Can you help me decide between a brand new Outcast 6s EXB and a very used full on M2C (every part) Tekno MT410?

[@RCDUDE81]

Yeah that's a toss up! The Mt410 will be much lighter but an EXB Outcast will probably be a better basher imo. Lots of M2C available for it too!

[@catbucketgamingmoonlightme9555]

Did you change the motor too or just max6

[@RCDUDE81]

In this vid still running a stock motor. I did later switch to a Hobbystar 4092 1480kv.

[@olds97lss]

Glad to see they are fixing the motor mount issue. Are you using traxxas pinion or something else? Any spur damage issues with the new mount yet? Sure is too bad they didn't leave some room for a longer can in that thing...

[@RCDUDE81]

So far no damages and the spur and mesh stayed perfect! M2c will make a chassis soon that you can reverse the motor mount to install a longer can! Stay tuned!

[@rebelliontotyrantsisobedie5602]

are you running the upgraded diff gears or stock ones? ... also stock motor with max6?

[@RCDUDE81]

Stock diff gears. 3 vids in and haven't touched the diffs. We'll see how long they go!

[@rebelliontotyrantsisobedie5602]

@@RCDUDE81 stock motor too with the Max 6?

Ya everytime I think of traxxas I think they purposely make there rigs where you have to upgrade allot of stuff on them for them to be jumpable. Just irritating concidering how expensive they are to begin with. Why didnt they just add those upgrades you put on it to begin with and rais the price a little higher.

[@jasoncrow2819]

Sorry I seem like a poor sport. You Made this rig kickass anyways hope it works out that traxxas gives you money for your upgrade designs
