I just looked for these shock towers on other parts for the sledge on your eBay store it doesn’t look like you have anything for the sledge. Are you going to continue making parts for this model?
I’ve had my sledge for maybe 2 months and I’ve had one wire get chewed up (my fault) and the front smashing in but haven’t broken anything. I’ve don’t some flips off trees but nothing major. I have had the ESC overheat on almost every outing,soon as the light comes on I just let it cool. Love my sledge so I bought a second and tore it apart and I’m upgrading everything and enjoying the build.
Same here i have had mine for 3-4 months and i install a great fan on motor and never had an overheating problems, knock on wood, i haven’t broken anything as well, i bash lightly & minor jumps. 80% of the run time, is around an outside dirt track, handles light a dream😉👍🏽💯 i would give 8.5 out of 10, stock. Oh ya btw i got the red color so i have done everything Traxxas sells (Red color) & wheelie bar as well, Great video, thanks for sharing brother 😉👍🏽💯
My three must for the sledge is m2c chassis basherqueen towers and m2c reversed motor mount but with m2c and basherqueen you can't go wrong amazing products
great video 🙏🏼 top 3 that I did, M2C chassis, motor mount, and under engine mount. truck is a beast. I want to swap the servo for speed and responsiveness, lastly, I'm itching to get that max8 g2 combo. just wondering if it's worth it? debating on waiting for the VXL to die or just keep as a back up. I should just buy it. thoughts?
I just put a max 6 in mine with the stock motor. It woke it up a bit. Now I’m running 17 t pinion with no heat issues at all. Plus it gave my servo 7.4v instead of 6. If u go with 7.4 u will have to change away from traxxas servo if u didn’t know that already
Been having my eye on one of these for a little while now. The XRT just got announced. And with all the upgrades this thing seems to need. Might as well spend the money on an XRT. Yeah bigger. But I would go to the same spots to bash both vehicles. So XRT for me.

You said look my truck looks like Tigger now it bounces when it hits the ground when it knows the eyes it's got like a spring in the front the whole bumper is like bring your ringing
So the take away is, pay 800 for the car, then dump 600 more into the car to make it fun and usable. Such value. Or save the money and buy a roller/kit truggy and put in your own electronics.
You know something would maybe big ass headlights in it y'all like wow that's a big headlight you can drive this down the road in the middle of the nine people would pull over cuz they think it's a motorcycle or something headlight damn there's some big headlights
OH man, i'm from italy and my last traxxas model is from 12 years ago.. the first Maxx nitro. today i like the new traxxas models like the sledge and the XRT but.. with all this issues :(... i think i'm not going to buy it anymore.
These ain't issues that exist unless you beat the absolute cr@p out of it and if you do that ti any car your gonna need to upgrade stuff but with the sledge it's way less stuff then other platforms......
AWESOME conversion 👍 Thanks for the shout out, I am glad that you like my products. Thanks for all the love and support for GIRLMADE in USA™ . 🤗

@@jessefarias1507Hi! Please contact M2C Racing, they continue the parts.
Well done! Chassis, motor mount, battery strap in that order, on that we agree!

How do you like the m2c shock pistons? Are they a big noticeable difference and what weight oil in them. Thanks
I have had a ton of issues with the Sledge diffs and gears. Finally just ordered some Aluminum diffs.
I’ve upgraded just about everything. Got GPM shocks and having issues fitting the body back onto chassis. Looking for tips.
GPM 7075-T6 under chassis brace front/rear, was jumping it today and lasted longer than my batteries
Great video and awesome RC, great information
Nice build! Where can I get a block off like you installed in the unused spur opening? Great idea..... Is it working like you had hoped? Thanks
Hey there! My Sledge is on its way. Nice video. What kind it tires, wing and servo did you go with ? Any other info would be great!!
Thanks !
Pete
Do you have to use spacers to run the backflip tires?
you dont have to. they will rub at full turn but nothing major. I have been running them this way with no long term issues,
So the bumper and spoiler washer/brace thingy, how much shipped to UK?
I also replaced the Front/Rear diff gears with spiral cut, installed M2C motor mount, and a chassis bag. Check it out

Do you have the top wing mount in red in stock. I don’t see it on the website. Thanks
Also the front bumper mount do you recommend the tall or short version? Thanks

Also, I’d like to buy one if your front bumpers.
Traxxas always comes out with great eye appeal for their RC cars but the actual functionality of them is not too great

there aren't a ton of rollers out there. I have done it both ways. The fun part is making it your own.

Best mod is to sell the sledge and get a kraton exb.
