TRACK Ready TRAXXAS Sledge
มุมมอง 10Kปีที่แล้ว
#traxxas #rc #sledge Welcome to the channel today we talk about my track ready Traxxas Sledge.
Cant support anything by Horizon Hobby. LC Racing EMB-1 is better for most purposes and 4wd
Diameter tires?13cm or 16cm
Take the brace bar off then take it back to the track
What size screws did you use to mount the motor fan to the motor mount?
I bought my sledge a few days ago and to see that a professional driver like you also speak and get such good results on track makes me very happy it is a great rc at the height of any competition buggy I would love to hear from you.
Are those basically slicks on loose dirt? That can't be right, no?
lzmfg ❤
Good idea man thanks! U made me remember I have same kinda roll stuff at house but matte clear. I bet thats lighter too vs pre cutted ones. Might throw some to my new B6.4.
Oh the matte clear would be really cool actually! Thanks for the view!
Is the esc/motor set up low voltage shut off set on it? Love this video!
Yes you can go into the programming and change it also. Thanks for the view!
👍👍
Thanks for the view!
Awesome to see rc guys in Kansas. I live about 1 hr away from wichita. Where's this track you are talking about newton, Hutchinson, Salina?
Lost me at "supposubly"
Bummer you can’t get good electronics for it yet
@@johnnycash7803 that might be just fine but I’d want a good servo at minimum. Just lacks options for everything
'Promo sm'
Man ive been eyeing these things for years and still havent bought one yet. Im building a custom traxxas 4 tec right now with the Vitavon carbon fiber and billet chassis. When that servo craps out on you get the Reefs micro 99
It has already died once lol They servos are just too cheap lol Thanks for the view!
its awesome to see someone converting these into racing rigs. I love the idea that you don't need to buy a tlr or associated to be competitive, super curious to see you race it!
Which proline body is this? It looks awesome!
This is the proline axis bruggy body. Thanks for the view!
Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Bought my sledge today and local to ICT! Can't wait untill the track dries I was interested in taking it out there..
Awesome! It really seems to be happy out on the track! Thanks for the view!
I wonder if you can program the esc motor combo with a regular 2.4 TQI Traxxas reciever and not have to spend over 200 bucks just to get another raido for the mini bs I'm looking to be getting the mini b drag car soon and I can't wait.
I like the lzmfg shirt.
Thanks! and thanks for the view!
Thank you for this video. Love the way the sledge looks with that shell! Curious, haven't done any oils etc?
Congratulations on winning 4th place overall on your first outing with it. The Sledge can definitely hold its own against the competition truggies. A guy brought his Sledge to our race at Adrenaline RC Raceway and he was on pace with the regular fast guys in truggy at our track.
That's awesome it really does seem to be happy on track! Thanks for the view!

@@damronatkins1542 would you run the same diff fluids with the stock diffs? I haven't upgraded to the machined gears yet, but plan to soon. I'm also running a Max 8 G2 combo, mainly on Gens Ace Redline 4s packs. Appreciate the feedback
I raced the Sledge since it was released earlier in the year about twice a month. I'll share my setup with you later on.
Basics below. I've fine tuned it since this setup. Diffs: 20k/15k/7k Shocks I started with the 1.3 pistons front and rear and added six 0.8mm holes to each piston. I opened up one of the 1.3 holds to 1.4. It has 50/45 wt. It feels planted compared to the stock pistons which are over damped in my opinion. I may go up 5 wt ft/rr as it feels a little light. - Going to the light springs in the back helps add a little rear bite on acceleration. Gearing: 16/52 Sway bars: Front (yellow), Rear (green) Bruggy body and race tires/wheels Remove center brace, no issues with this. Remove rear side chassis braces to add rear traction/flex
Awesome thanks for the info and view!
You should be practicing with the same stuff you use in the race, especially tires on high grip surfaces like carpet and astro. These small scale buggies can be super twitchy and take a bit of getting used to.
Yeah I think the carpet vs. dirt makes a big difference. Thanks for the info and view!
these new truggy bodies are pretty repulsive; i like what youve done to the sledge though.
Yeah they are pretty weird looking but I just wanted to look like a real racer lol thanks for the view!
Bro, you sound like Patrick Bateman 😂
I'm not sure if that good or bad lol Thanks for the view!
For anyone out there, just get yourself a race truggy kit and be done with, you guy's in the USA are spoilt for choice, I went with Tekno, Losi , kyosho for racing and Arrma and Corally for bashing lol .
Love the content hope you make more content on a schedule.
Uh you're not going to use the TQi radio to race with are you? 😬
Oh yeah racing on a budget lol Thanks for the view!
nice work, btw. I like your content. keep up the good work man, we need more people like you. I'm in OH, and keep my buggy in tip top shape, even when I'm not racing...I'm just a couch potatoe Armchair racer, if you will lol. I'll shutup now
Actually, I would practice with the 'race' tires...cuz if you only practice with the low grip compound, and then you switch to the grippy tires....it's gonna suprise you gonna have roll overs...and all kinds of shenanigans.... You see what I'm saying?
Hey guy. It's super nice to see a video from a guy that is into racing. 'specially when it comes to Traxxas, and I think you gotta good thing going, where you can show guys how to race a 'basher' I'm an old school associated pan car guy...running laps in a tri-oval on carpet, before brushless. Currently got back into the scene with a b64.....running on carpet when baby, it's cold outside....lol. Keep it real, love what you're doing and don't stop
Great video, subscribed. I just got back into RC after a 17 year hiatus. Already building a track on the property.
That is awesome to have the land for a track! Thank you so much for the sub and the view!
I ordered a Sledge a couple days ago. I'm a complete NooB. First adult spec RC...this is gonna be interesting. I bought this as a basher and a buddy is building a backyard track. If I find a club it might be fun to try racing this. I've heard people talk about putting O-rings in the cups the axles go in to, have you seen this? I'd love to see a quick video. Are you going to mess with shock oil weight?
Chris, my guy....you're gonna get sucked in to this 'hobby'. Welcome into the fold.
If your Sledge is a more recent one it will already have the rear o-rings installed. It was only the really early 1st order of them that were missing o-rings. It sounds like the buddy's track will be an awesome place to play! Thanks for the view!
This is awesome! I watched most of your WJ videos as I have as a trail truck. I’ve also been into rcs for decades and have about 55 now. Looking forward to your videos on these.
Keep it up loving it so far
Thanks! I'm excited to start racing again! More videos to follow!
Your gonna love it fun lil carpet muncher
Why? Just run a truggy… 🤷🏻♂️
Honestly it has been pretty fun racing a non typical underdog and doing pretty well! Had a few people come up and ask what it is since you can't really tell with the new body and they are all blown away when I say Traxxas. Yes I know it would never be competitive at a larger national level race but locally it really seems to hold it's own. Thanks for the view!
@@TylerPotterRC glad you’re having fun, but I can tell you hands down, there is absolutely NO WAY a hopped up Sledge of ANY caliber is keeping up with ANY of my kit “*uggies”…

Nice build with the kit. I also do Mini b and T racing but it's stock class only unfortunately. But even using rtr it's still a blast. Have fun!!
Thanks man! I'm excited to get on track. The stock or RTR class would be pretty awesome also and really help to level out all the cars. Thanks for the view!
Subbed!

Thank you! Thanks for the view!
Also lose that center brace. More flex is more traction.
I would lighten the diff oils. Thicker in the front than the rear.
Heard that if you run the adjustable toe links you can be run zero offset wheels be with no rubbing.
I believe you are correct since the adjustable links are a little thinner. Thanks for the view!
@@TylerPotterRC I plan on racing mine. Great vid.
