The Traxxas Sledge was announced a few weeks ago and it continues to be a hot topic in the RC community. Thank you to everyone that took the time to watch our first video on the beast. In that video Greg mentioned a revisit where he would take the Sledge out for a speed run and this is that video. But beyond speed testing, Greg takes a few minutes to chat about some comments and messages he received about the Sledge. He’ll address some questions in this video and even do a truggy comparison too for those interested in design differences of a few of today’s popular models.

The trouble is we seem to have a younger age group that have developed a fanboy mentality and if you say anything derogatory about their choice of manufacturer or model, and except for a few anomalies all the different class's or styles are going to have a similar look, and at the end of the day does it matter, but I must admit I do not like TRAXXAS go sue anyone that uses any ideas or even part of a registered name, and at the end of the day the things that TRAXXAS hit ARRMA about they should not have as they poached the ideas from 1-1 vehicle designs so I think a little of live and let live should be applied in this hobby.

As someone who doesn’t own a sledge or Kraton it’s interesting to see all the differences. There’s no way the sledge isn’t more durable. The C hubs and 1 piece plastic links should make it stupid tough, and you can still adjust your links with the different mounting points. Only issue I’ve seen is the motor mount moving on the sledge, could be solved with loctite? Maybe?

@rcdriver 2 жыл бұрын
I haven’t had an issue with mine. But I did remove it when I tore the truck down to show it in my first video. When I do something like that I always add fresh locktite since I broke the original bond. But this setup is just like a nitro engine motor mount design that has been used for decades. It should be fine or extra locktite should the fix if it does move.

what would be the best battery that fits the sledge. I saw that the 6s lipo Gens Ace 5000 MAH with 45C fit perfectly. I think I want to run the 6s single battery over the two 3s Lipo. I heard you get better throttle response. I am new to this and I am not sure which route to go. Money is no object. I just want the most performance. I did see an RC power battery that is 6S lipo with 6000 MAH and had 100C. This seems more powerful but I am not sure if it fits. There should be a good video out there if someone found the best battery for the sledge to give the best performance.

Of course Arrma didn't invent the Truggy class, just like Traxxas didn't invent the lay down shock design. Only one RC company is suing it's competition 😜

When I first started out in media, and doing reviews on everything, the first thing I was told is to be honest with my reviews. In the publication that I worked for, I never once seen a honest review. Good or bad, it just need to be said. As far as comparisons go, I just feel that you're doing a great job in creating separate videos and keeping the focus on each subject that you are reviewing. Then when you put the two subjects together, then that's when it becomes a comparison video. Don't listen to anyone that hasn't done reviews before. Your channel is great, I subscribed a while ago because I love the videos you have up. You don't ever need to explain yourself to anyone. Keep the awesome videos coming. Aloha

Well its simple, everyone knows Traxxas sues even 3rd parties in the past for making parts that work on their platform, AND YOU KNOW THIS. So if Arrma released a 1/5 scale that looked like the X-Maxx, you KNOW there would be lawsuits from Traxxas. And hiding behind "the same class" isn't true, because there's a Kraton 1/5 and it looks NOTHING like the X-Maxx. Look i live within walking distance from Traxxas headquarters. I own the X-Maxx, HPI, ARRMA, Tamiya..ect, I'm a rc enthusiasts, I love your videos, I'm a longtime subscriber...but I think its a little disingenuous to pretend that with the history of Traxxas, they wouldn't attempt to sue. Great video brother.

Such a sound overview! I run both cars - a modded V5 Kraton and an out the box Sledge. I got a second shipment Sledge - no QC issues re O-rings, pinion or bolts. Always run-in a new RC with a couple of 4S and tighten everything each time! Out the box, the Sledge is much better quality and a stronger design. Better chassis strength, better servo/electrics, better body, tougher suspension. Stock, the Kraton feels faster, with a more aggressive ESC. The Sledge is more expensive, but you have to spend more on the Kraton to get it as good. The Sledge feels next generation, but we'll see what Arma come out with next - tougher chassis and higher quality, I hope!

Buy what you want and don’t care what others do. Or maybe that is the problem? Its a hobby with no organized sport that guys can compete in. There are no basher competitions so the best they can do is crap on other people on line.

I'm fairly new to the hobby but one thing I've noticed is that I've yet to see a negative reaction to any hobby-grade brand besides Traxxas. They seem to get a lot of flak, I assume because they've been litigious in the past? Like no one ever has anything negative to say when Losi puts out a new car, or Arrma, or Axial etc. RC cars have been around for quite a while and naturally the designs that work and are in style and have proven track records will shape (literally and figuratively) car designs going forward. Notice how most airplanes look the same? Yeah, cause they stay in the damn air that way. Cars tend to have four wheels and the engines are in the front. No one really experiments because _it just works_. Same thing is going to go with scaled down cars.

Have had a blast with mine. Far more durable than my Kraton EXB hands down. Actually I havent driven it much myself. My 7yr old has been beating the poop out of it. 1 hinge pin, 1 lower rear hub pin and 1 wing mount so far. He has been back flipping it like crazy. For those that think arrma invented the truggy, that is kind of funny. Thunder Tiger ST-1 is where it all REALLY started. Everybody under the sun converted them to brushless and installed a tower to tower brace etc. Super tough truck! Then thunder tiger realized what they had on their hands and they came out with the MT4 G3! Still a great basher truggy to this day!

And is also dismissive of the Sledge copying the Kraton. Again, thanks for all the great content and I’d never feel pressured to explain yourself. You provide very detailed reviews and consistent formatting that makes it easy and enjoyable to get as much of a feel for the truck as possible through a video. Any vehicle I consider buying, I immediately search your channel. And all of that is FREE for us viewers. All that to say - ignore silly comments. 👊🏼🤞🏼

What is discouraging is all the fanboys that hate Other brands bashing someone like you or others and what is reviewed by the rc community are completely CLUELESS.

Be glad we have choices in the hobby and just buy what you like!!! Me personally I've sold all my Arrma's and I run Traxxas. Just my preference. They serve me well and most parts are interchangeable so I can keep a few spares on hand for multiple trucks. Got a few different brand of crawlers and Traxxas and Element are my two favorites in that bunch. Love the videos and in depth reviews!!! Keep up the good work and thank you!!!!

The people who whine about Traxxas suing Arrma have never read the full lawsuit. There are other laydown shocks in other models (which only work well in Formula 1) but Traxxas never sued them, wonder why.....hmmm, because of the entire lawsuit details. People dont ever talk about all the details and it seems they never cared to look. I enjoy the RC hobby no matter the brand (though i have more Losi products than any other brand). I call it the lawsuit crutch as every Arrma extremist keeps coming back to it. Copyright infringment effects every company not just Traxxas. If people want to cry about a company, why not cry about the companies, like certain chinese companies, that copy part for part of Traxxas, Arrma, Losi, Axial, corally, Team associated and so on and so forth, then sell at a very cheap price. The two reasons they can sell so cheap is the dont need a research and development team and dont use quality materials. Our companies cannot sue those scam companies and direct copy companies because of the lack of coralation.

Nobody more knowledgeable than you on KZbin. These reviews have greatly helped me in my decision making process and just overall understanding of the various brands and their various intricacies.

Hey G, watching a couple vids, it seems that the Sledge is a bit undersprung…the first video sounded like it was bottoming out over the jumps. Maybe it’s a fast not enough rebound?

A lot of RC vehicles are just like real vehicles. It’s when you look under the body, that’s when you see the difference.

Thank you for running a speed test. This is definitely the RC car for me. You know what would be cool is to take it hill climbing… is it good for that? Thank u again for your review

The reason everyone was calling the sledge out is because it feels like Traxxas sent out tons of these for free to get good reviews.

But did they? In my review I let everyone know my chassis bent, the wing mount broke and the batteries kept falling out. The first two problems go against the main points of their marketing. And in this video I just reviled an issue with the connectors coming apart. It’s amazing how some people just glazed over that.

I bought one but I don't know how to turn it off I had to disconnect the battery so it would turn off

Yes, unplugging it is how you turn it off. It's so you don't accidently leave the LiPo batteries plugged in when it's not in use.
