Traxxas Sledge Hits the Death Ramp! 

2:13 I can see serious electrician work!

What's cool about your truggie you put the heartbeat of arrma in it oh yeah 👍

Have to admit that truck took that beautifully. Very impressed. Looked very smooth 👌 didn't miss a beat. Good bash 👍💪

Wow, that's a high recommend. I'm I the UK and have one on order. Should be 8th April. Very excited. Thanks as always. John

Yeaa 🤩 great sledge on Big ramp 🤩 nice New toy Friend 😁👋

Love the way it flies. Slick

Let's goooo! *Chanting:* "Death ramp! Death ramp! Death ramp! Death ramp!"

Ok I want one now ! Your stamp of approval is official.

Champion of the Beast. Awesome 👍

The Texas sky is beautiful

Niiiiicccceeeee! Finaly vid from U. If Sledge survived U it will hold up my driving 😀😀😀😀😀

Heck yeah man! It's nice to see it hit the death ramp! Ay, a few more teeth on that pinion and you'll def be hitting triple+ backflips easy!

You Getting All the Goodies Thunder! If a Car can Survive the Thunder, its a Must Buy!! 🏋🏼‍♂️🏆👍👍

Dude, I was hoping you would do a review! You put this thing to the test and it survived!! I bought two maxx's for my kids, and now want the Sledge for myself!! Great video man!!!!

Great footage Rocky. As always, your durability tests tell us the most about what a truck can handle. I will definitely get a Sledge as well after seeing this vid.

Yes brother you got that right. Texas is a whole other country. Nice I love the Spectrum stuff holds up great with all the safety features 👍 awesome video you got her to the chooper

Nice . You need a fortified nitro now to send .

Always appreciate the bash, the Death Ramp is the true test! Love ripping up the fire ant nests, my favorite past time in the spring

Thanks for getting this and testing it Rocky ! Lesson learned on my end , I won't ship a RC in the box it comes in. Guessing that's what happened.

It was worth the wait! Awesome bash! 🤙

Looks to be an awesome truck! I love the new clipless body system. Really cool thunder!

Lmfao spectrum esc love it 😀 🤣 😂 😭 💀 I don't blame you at all

Awesome sends with that mighty sledge brotha!!

Professional job Sir well done 👍 🤩🤘

Great review brother, I waiting after your test to buy one now I'm ready :)

It survived! 🚀 That's some high praise from Thunder 🤩 I would want to do what you did. Replace the ESC and radio 👍 Crazy your first truck got stolen 😱 Glad that you have it now, they are sold out everywhere of course! For now I am happy to watch everyone else's videos since I just re-did 2 of my Arrma's and my DBXLE 👍

Dam the spectrum esc really woke up the Sloth I mean Sledge 🤣😂. I would have liked to see some wheelie wheels in the wing 🤘⚡🤩💯👍✌

Serious man how he got the sledge down! But one thing is certain is that Traxxas has once again hit hard out of the RTR box! He looks so easy to control in the air, Terminator haven't defeated him yet haha! What a story he comes back from afar! Can't wait to see more action from this Truggy in the future, enjoy

For it to survive the death ramp. That’s saying something 💪🚀🚀👊

I’m a big Traxxas fan and I love how u test them on the death ramp thank you , wheelchair rc guy

Finally the thunder test run … boom 🤯

🔥⚡️🔥⚡️🔥EPIC! Sends Thunder!!!I was on a waiting list. I didn’t buy it. I was afraid of parts being unavailable. I’ll get one down the road. You made it look insane as you do! EPIC Vide MY FRIEND! Much love!!!!👊👍💯⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️🔥

Thunder approved ⚡Cant wait to send it🚀at the skatepark

Wicked video Thunder! She s pretty tough!

Love that you just called it instead of eating around the bush re this vs Kraton exb. I own the exb and enjoy it but it’s obvious to me just looking at a few videos that it’s built better than my exb. It’s definitely on my list to buy, just like my Kristin isn’t on the list to sell! 🤗

Hide yo kids …hide yo wife …. HIDE YO SLEDGE People stealing them everywhere ‼️😂‼️😂

Nice bashing bro! This thing looks epic, 👌 I'm highly considering it

The US Version of Kevin Talbot lol

Completely agree , that ESC is week , already digging out a spektrum to put in , but I sure hate taking out the warranty early after purchase , but need for speed !! Thanx again !

Another excellent video as always, Rocky. Okay, jen's sold; she's buying me one for our anniversary but that's in October. I can wait, I'm still stoked. She wants to get some debt paid off before pulling the trigger. So she asked me to wait. I'm cool with that. She says "Hello, hello ". The sledge was a death ramp killer. It caught some serious hang time, bro! The thing is a mad BEAST of awesomeness. I like the blue, but I'm going for the black and red of course when I get mine. I thought for sure the death ramp was gonna kill it. I didn't think it would hold up. But it did. Traxxas might want to think of using that Sledge body restraint system on all it's vehicles. I do believe they may have found the "magic bullet" to keep all the bodies from popping off... maybe? As I said, excellent bashing session, bro. That thing looked amazing in the air. And I liked how you got it to "walk" for more than a few feet. Lol. Bash on, brother!!⚡⚡⚡🤘🤘⚡⚡⚡🌩🌩⚡⚡⚡🚘⚡⚡⚡

Its entertaining watching your videos and Informative killer driving as always 🤟🏻🔥😎

You sent it higher then anyone else ive seen yet Thunder and its still living, thats saying something. Awesome video.

Just got mine today. Editing unboxing video for my channel and tomorrow will take it out. Doing the o-ring trick in the rear because I am worried about the axle play. Have you seen that problem with them yet?

great bash rocky, loved it

Wow

Awesome RC, FLYS NICE AND CAN TAKE THE DEATH RAMP LIKE A 🏆 CHAMP. NO BREAKAGE IS A GOOD THING WHEN GIVING IT THE THUNDER, OH YA ! KEEP ON BASHING, OR RACEING! FROM BARRIE ONTARIO CANADA

Oh no, comment before I watch. I’m scared, it will be Epic!!!!

Yep thinking I need two in my fleet as well 😜 great sends bro🤙👍🏻 always love hearing your options on rigs!!! Tho I am partial to hobbywing power than spektrum!! Lol 🤙👍🏻💪🏻 keep bashing brother!!!

see if it holds upp the beating👍👍👍👍👍

Well if Thunder says it's a must to own this truck, mine will be here Wednesday! ⚡️⚡️

We want to move to Texas, lived in west coast my whole life.

Wicked airtime, that truck lands like a cat awesome jumps man…👏🏽

Another awesome bash, and really cool back story to the sledge...somebody wanted a sledge pretty bad....keep it up bro we love watching and can't wait to see the new Rovan rip👍👍

Don’t blame you for changing some of the electrics. I’m not much for the battery tray I like the rest of the Sledge.

buy a tekno truggy. The only upgrade tekno needs is a metal servo horn. It drives, handles and jumps even better and at the end with some medium priced electronics its even cheaper ;-) but im positively suprised about the sledge, nice big sends!!

awesome video great job

I use those youme 6500 4s' in my xmaxx, they seem pretty good for the price! Ran them on my electric gokart too! Lol

Great video Bro! You sent it as a rocket

Awesome, glad you've got one, make it fly, but pleeeeeeeease get some shrink wrap on those esc wires 🤣🤣

Three places to go for a real durability test: Kevin Talbot, Rich Duperbash and THUNDER RC. Boom!

We need a mini sledge.😂I want a Traxxas truggy smaller than this but a little bigger than the 1/16 erevo

Impressive

Oh yeah 🔥

Looks like a pretty sweet rig. So I think I found me a version of ur death ramp abandoned at my jobsite. Just gotta find a way to get it home lol.

I hope Traxxass is working on a 5th scale version, time to retire the Xmax

Great stuff again. Looks a fantastic truck. However I had my Kraton EXB out this morning and that thing is a beast itself. If I had the money, I'd have both, but really doesn't seem worth shelling out another 750.00gbp for this.

The FAA will probably contact you about your RC Launches LOL

I still don't know what to think about the Sledge. It survives these massive jumps well. But they're all landed on the wheels. In other videos I'm also seeing it breaking badly from relatively tame hits.

Hello thunder is good truck a sledge ? Thanks

What connector Are you running on?

The question is if you had to pick between the Sledge and the Tailon with one would you pick 🤔

There for a sec I thought I was watching a liberty mutual commercial.

$800 and stock set up been changed already 😂

Yoo

Thunder your bashing session are legendary I’m impressed glad to see traxxas stepping up there game and giving the bashing community a proper truggy basher the e revo 2.0 was outdated and arrma had Better bashers competition is good for everyone but man that price is way to high let’s see if arrma respond with some changes to there exb

I'm sitting here reading the comments and i will say this as an owner of both Traxxas and Arrma products, one of them is even the "Extreme Bash" model but ive had more issues with my 3 Arrmas than I have had with any of my Traxxas RCs and the Arrmas are the newer products on my shelf. And in case anyone is wondering because they probably think im biased towards Traxxas but i have the Arrma Outcast 8s, Arrma Kraton EXB, and the Arrma Typhon. The Traxxas products are the UDR, Revo 3.3, TRX4 and the Summit. I prefer Losi over Traxxas and Arrma myself. To each their own though.

Traxxas is nice you got lucky it didn’t break just look at all the other videos it broke just like all the others.. I do like sledge for bashing. Traxxas did good with this one but it is not the best out there 😎

I hope your rear dog bones stay in. Others had to put rubber rings in rear diff cups

Im Loving mine! of course I broke it😅 When are we getting together bro!?

Don't forget you had to add Spectrum electronics to make it 'better than a Kraton'. I really want to like this Truck but so far from what I've seen I'd get a Fireteam before the Sledge. It flew off the Death Ramp really well, great bash bro 👌

Traxxas ESCs are limited to 125A because of 5000mah 25C lipo packs. Secondly there is no punch setting to talk about.

One short run and it's the best ever? Run it for a few weeks then do head to head vs Kraton and XTR.. Make the assessment after that IMO..I've seen many small channels have this thing break from small bad landings and cartwheels..Driveshafts bent,rear diff issues, arms snaping in half ,chassis bends,tires ripping and of couse ESC issues..I'm not hating on it..It's nice and every rc breaks but I just feel you crowned it after one run in all

Do you think it’s worth that price though? I won’t deny it does look like a good truck but I just feel that price is ridiculous. In my opinion I just think there’s better stuff out there for that amount of money In that same class

All they have to do is make it a roller or a kit and it would be perfect. But Traxxas won't.

I just want the battery tray i want to make it fit in my arrma XL

Better than xmaxx ok that's a bold statement makes me want one more till then gears went it's was doing great

xt60 is plenty

sorry you didn't make a video of how to spin around in the air

U sold me on it

You know you can bump your bec to 7.4 with That servo right maybe it'll be a little quicker than from what I've watched I haven't seen anybody rip out the stock ESC to be able to pump it to 7.4 and exocaged just did a tear down of the Sledge and kraton exb and the Sledge diffs made the exb look like a little 1/10 scale and this isn't even an exb imagine if Traxxas did an exb 😱😆 food for thought

Udr only from them

Traxxas electronics are always a let down. At that price point it should be insanely powered and let people tone it down or power it up.

Arrma the best ! M2C is AWESOME !!! 🤯🤯🤘🏻🤘🏻👏🏻👏🏻 traxass is différent but the sledge is pure copy arrma ☹️☹️

Okay okay hold the phone , how much did traxxas pay you to say it’s better than a kraton ?
