8s Powered Traxxas Sledge - How fast can it go? 

No way! This is going to be good! The difference in going from 4S to 6S was crazy enough, I bet this is going to be wild. Also, thank you so much for all the steady content. We appreciate it brother. Hope you enjoy your Sunday 💯🤜🏻🤛🏽

Man I have to give you props on your consistent good content. I seriously listed all my rc stuff for sale and watching your content changed my mind and got me interested all over again. Good job on always keeping it interesting sir

Back in the 80s, my brother had an rc truck from a hobby store. It was a 1/10th scale, rwd Mitsubishi Pajero by Tamiya. He had to assemble it; then buy the radio, battery and charger separately. It took the battery 12 hours to charge; and the truck ran for roughly 10 minutes. It had four speeds which were stop, slow, medium and fast. Speed was controlled be a big white ceramic resistor that would get really hot. The car in this video would literally run circles around that truck. 🤣😂😆

I was thinking about making my sledge faster but I decided it was fast enough in stock form for what it is especially after seeing this video I don’t think I’ll be trying for 100mph speed runs with my sledge as I think I will choose a rc car more suitable for that purpose. that is very impressive speed with your sledge. Mine has been a fun car to bash around and it’s very fast in stock form. Cool video thx for sharing

Good stuff. I can't afford "all the models" but it's nice to see them pushed to the limits in different ways. It helps me narrow down the next model. Thanks

I am going for 80. I have a speedtek rc spool in mine. I hit 65 with kraton copperheads on it. Have belted street tires showing tomorrow. Once weather is clear I want to hit 80. You made it look easy so when I hit 65 only I was like dang. Hope tires make a difference.

That thang look good sitting like it is. Looking good!!!

The sledge is moving. Nice vid sir. Totally love you pushing the RC to the limit. You put out a ton of great vids with great content. Thank you very much for all your time and effort you spend in effort to keep us entertained. Thanks man. Hope you have a good and very blessed rest of the day. 🤘🥸

Very nice...it's so smooth...but at 88mph is when the lightning and fire is supposed to come out after the Flux capacitor kicks in....darn it's fast...

The roof slides sound the worst, but are definitely best case (as long as it's not into a curb lol).

Those Jetko Supersonics are legit tires, I've been running them for just over a month and they're quality pieces, they're also pretty lightweight as well👍👍

If you cracked the diff and filled it the diff should be fine and take it. I did the same with my Traxxas Maxx. Traxxas just doesn’t put any diff fluid in it from the factory. If it makes it easier, power hobby now makes a single 8s pack.

😳😳That is badass JAY!!! Looks marvelous. Thanks for doing this! 🙌👏😄💯

If you run with the body off, it won't turn over. The body acts as a parachute to lift the car. And the Willy bar must be equipped unconditionally. With the current output, it seems that 160km/h is possible.

Damm thank goodness for roof rails..lol” that thing is scratched now you did it..lol nice job buddy

That buggy looks insane. Love the stance and the wheel and tire combo👍🏽💯

Good run

Your going to put an eye out with that thing!! 😆😂🤣

Thanks for sharing just got my sledge 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

0:90 the sound from the hart ahhaha

That is truly cool man miss playing with my r/c trucks

Nice run. You make me want to buy a Sledge!

Your nuts 🤪 but supposedly my sledge arrives tommarow.

The Sound is much more different, than the Standard sledge...a bit like more "hitech" Sport charged. Amazing

Bro those tires & wheels look very good 🔥👈🏾

Awesome rip sledge is a beast

Wow that is badazz truck. Turn monster truck into street truck is good idea!

I called it 90 💪🏾💪🏾

I’m putting a 8s on the sledge soon. So thanks for sharing that. So the 25tooth pinion gear can fit but not 34/34 because it’s too small. Only Erevo 2.0vxl can fit on 34/34 dam the sledge is this close to be faster then a Erevo but it’s faster and handles better then a erevo

Some roof action 😘

Dame . 90 !! 👍👊

That Traxxas flys 90 MPH is impressive.

Very cool vid 👍🏻👌🏻

Hey When you grade to the bigger sledgehammer weels and allowing ballooning you will make easy the 110 miles I did not really got it, im german Native, but i Think u changed a lot, Minimum the 6s Regler u had to remove i Think, i have the "standard" sledge in orange too. They did not had it in blue and was bit dissapointed, but, now im glad because, now i know, i have the right one :DD Know what i mean...

You can run a 26 pinion with a 46 spur that's the biggest you can get in there with out the reserve motor mount

Hi sir, hello everyone on here I have a question, are those the Jetko 1/8 SGT 3.8 EX-SUPER SONIC Tyres (Claw Rim?

you should take off those mud guards, they would create massive drag.

Sounds like a jet

That black and orange looks nice. I can't decide on if I should get a sledge or and Xmaxx. What would you pick if you were looking to only get one?

Nice. That’s gast

That sledge will go 150mph

If you take that sledge on the free way on down hill 150mph. Almost faster then a porches

nead teh 46 spure gear :)

Hello jay may you tell what u changed in this sledge or link? Sorry im german its bit difficuld u know Anyway thank u and have an nice time

Great video bro!

Wouldn't having smaller tires be better because it's less roating mass the motors have to move ? The bigger they are the more drag too it puts on the car

Wait what... the motor/esc are both stock?!?!?! 😮

goes fast upsides down. lol

You need a wheelie bar

How good is it staying straight with nonadjustable to Eli ks

Beauty

Are those 17mm? Would like to try on my Arrma Typhon 6s...

Which motor and ESC are you using in this?

What’s up bro! That’s moving. Are they the 2.8 or 3.8 wheels?

damn dude

What kind of tires and where can i get them

What did you do to get yours to hit 90

Do you have the stock esc and motor?

What did u have under the hood???

It sucks and good at the same time when the body gets a little mess up cuz after you tend to push it a little more since you don't care

It needs a wheelie bar

What happened to licensed bodies

whill those tires fit a drag slash??

Hey what wheels and tires are they ?

Wie heißen die schöne Räder??

I went 18/46 on my sledge and it stopped doing wheelies do you know why haha I like doing wheelies?

What battery did you put?

Hey bro, where can I get some on-road wheels (tires) for my K8s?

Bonjour les pneus se vendent par paire ?

What is this spool you speak of?

I'm running 8s on my sledge as well. What middle diff weight are you using? Mine keeps doing wheelies when I give it full throttle to do a speed run

I need them tires

I got a 12S kit on mine and I can get to about 109mph until the car is unstable it’s to big and it’s impossible to get faster

what did you do to put it 8s?? just the battery?

😮😮👍👍

fast

what tires did u buy exactly because when you click on link it takes u to a bunch of 1/10 tires and I'm sure those can't be 1/10

mine broke the esc on 6s 😢

Also 2WD cars are just better for top speed and handling when going high MPH same principles apply to real cars

What esc are you using?

stock system ?

what esc u running

What the tire name and number

It don't have self righted

Need wings on that thing Gosh damn just for a video need to put wings on one and see if it will take flight it would break to shit on land but it would make for good video

Didn't look like 90mph to me not even close. Maybe 60mph

sickening

Had to re subscribe 🤬
