Thanks so much Bro Avery. I was pissed, scared but thankful it didn't fuck the whole truck up. I appreciate your work as always brother. This truck is in a different league with your amazing upgrades 💪💪😍
Thanks so much Tom! Hope all's well with you Bro. Shit happens sometimes LoL 🤣. I'm guessing the cap packs were damaged in the previous run when she took a brutal lick on the concrete barrier LoL 🤣
Looks like the esc wires got pulled, wires are the biggest enemy on these rc's is what i am finding, if my wires are not super locked down they will break or fray and this hobby is not easy!!!!! great content!!! Upvoted!!!
Thanks so much Bro. I appreciate your time watching. Wiring all good no issues there. I'm still figuring this out what causes it. I'm guessing the cap packs got damaged on impact 🤔
@@CommanderAstigRC When my max 8 g2 went up in smoke, the smoke stopped as soon as I turned it off. Oddly enough. Was the same truck, and no other damage either.
Man that crazy double front flip was awesome, brother, but that’s really unfortunate. She caught fire, I would be careful that the battery didn’t cause that somehow lol.
Thanks so much David. Always appreciate your time watching brother. That Lipo was indeed questionable 🤔. But ya the ESC fried. Good thing I was running just the Cage or with the plastic body would've been a worst outcome.
Awesome quick Rip Brother Chris 😜. So sorry about your Max6. Maybe it took damage with the parking block hit 🤔. Unlikely, but who knows. Could've simply had a bum cap pack. So awesome Mitch and Avery keep Killin it with these wonderful upgrade options 😱. Loving how beefy these caps are!!! The ZRS set-up is such an awesome performance upgrade and it'll be nice not busting stock plastic caps. The Sledge (with stock chassis and motor mount) isn't a hardcore basher in my opinion, but it's tough as nails with proper M2C 😱🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Thanks so much Bro Rich! Super frustrated ending. I was just getting warmed up. Fire 🔥 came out from the cap packs. Not much of a test imo but super suspension felt good. Mitch and Avery have done it again 😍. Getting things sorted out for the next bash.
Was that a Castle 1717-1650KV? A MMX8S might've worked better. I've had a lot of success running Castle ESCs with Hobbywing motors but I've never tried the other way around. The MMX8S brings out the best in Hobbywing motors...especially the 4274-2200KV and the 4985-1650KV. The Hobbywing ESCs are nice but they cut out under heavy load. The MMX8S can handle more IMHO. The Hobbywing motors tend to run cooler than the Castle equivalents though.
I appreciate your time watching 9G. Thanks for the great info and tips brother. Will look into it for sure. I've been running HW ESC with castle 1520 1650kv motor for the longest time, 1st time this happened.
Nice run brother. Sorry about esc. I just had a max 8 g2 burn up in my Sledge too. What pinion and spur gears do you use. Is it Traxxas spur or what brand
Thanks so much Bro. Ya man.. I was bummed out about the ESC but it is what it is. Sorry to hear about yours too. I'm still running stock spur with 22t pinion.
Yes Bro. Still rocking strong 💪 so far. I haven't been out due to the weather and other personal priorities but super excited to get back out there soon.
Toughest truck you've ever driven? The thing is so overpriced and not very good on stock form imo.. paying nearly $1,000 then have to put hundreds upon hundreds of M2C parts on it tho lol
Appreciate your time watching brother. We all upgrade these days to get the most Fun out of our trucks. I stop caring about stock setup no more. Yes it is ridiculously expensive but so are most things.
@@CommanderAstigRC I hear you for sure but My point is the starting price is higher than others in its class and Traxxas claimed it does not need one single upgrade all the while telling their customers that the Kraton needs hundreds in upgrades in order to live up to the stock Sludge
You pulled off the perfect bump flip and then the ESC fied! thank God it didn't burn the whole car down!
Thanks so much Bro Avery. I was pissed, scared but thankful it didn't fuck the whole truck up. I appreciate your work as always brother. This truck is in a different league with your amazing upgrades 💪💪😍
It better be tough, since it's a 2k$ + rig! Sucker should drive itself!
Appreciate your time watching Jeremy. This sucker does drive like a dream tho Bro. But I hear ya it's a ridiculously expensive truck
Aww man! Bummer on the ESC fire. Good thing it didn’t take out the whole truck 👍 Loved the double frontie just before 🤩
Thanks so much Aaron. It was a blast till it lasted. Got a new ESC in her now. All fixed up and ready to go again.
Ahhh, too bad 😭Sorry about the MAX6, that sucks big time. The new M2C upgrades are AWESOME and are waiting for the next rip with new ESC 💪👍
Thanks so much Kim. I always appreciate your time watching. The cap packs must've been damaged on my previous run. She'll be back out there soon.
😳 that was insane BRO!!! Love what you did with the mods. Great Job Cris, keep up the awesome bashes

That's an insane run. Which battery straps are you running
Appreciate your time watching brother. Regular Amazon strap brother
What shock springs you running and wight shock oil
Hobao springs with 100wt fluids
You removed the vitavon gearboxs?
I actually did. Putting them on my New Sledge build brother.
What are the standoffs and how do they work ?
Standoffs are the parts that hold the Shocks on the Shock Towers
Nice run brother. Sorry about esc. I just had a max 8 g2 burn up in my Sledge too. What pinion and spur gears do you use. Is it Traxxas spur or what brand

Yo bro are you still running zoskay servo?
Yes Bro. Still rocking strong 💪 so far. I haven't been out due to the weather and other personal priorities but super excited to get back out there soon.
Thank you commander, I wish you well and god speed my man! Take care. Looking forward to more sledge content
