- Not sure what is going on but my truck seems to keep eating spur gears. I am pretty upset about it now.

We need forged steel gears! Instead of the powdered metal crud!
Yes.
One thing to consider about this problem is, did they do this as an intentional weak point to save from breaking other things in the drive line? Either way, a set of machined gears would be nice to have sooner than later.
Plus Traxxas should have put the cush drive system in this truck and then I think the truck would be excellent and not tearing up spur gear and pinion gears all the time. I haven't had this issue with my Traxxas Max and I have beaten the crap out of that at skate parks
Trexxas should be ashamed too sell this truck with this problem. All the money we paid for I broke 5 gears
Yeah def was a let down. I paid a lot to get it to be a real truck. I got it to be solid now and is def a fun. Let down in stock form for sure.
The Quality from the Traxxas Metal is a joke. For a 800$ Car. Sorry Traxxas but this is a joke.
I feel the same. Thanks for watching.
Did you add any lube or grease with the new gear ? And how is it holding up with the new one? Still battling my mind if I should get the Sledge or E-revo.
No. I got the cnc gears no problems since
Had this happen with about 30 minutes of run time on my first pack running the truck. Flat ground running for 15 minutes or so and then hit 4 jumps and toasted the gear. I called Traxxas support and they sent a new spur gear out the next day at no charge. Had it by the next weekend, ran the truck again for about 40 minutes with no problems. My mistake was I didn't pre-trip the truck to make sure screws were tight. I went through and checked all the screws going into metal, every one of them took an extra 1/8 to 1/4 turn by hand no problem. When I found this on the motor mount I knew exactly what happened. The block you see labeled 13/52 is just a spacer to give exact gear mesh, it's more for the factory assembly and those new to the hobby that don't know how to properly do their gear mesh. I'm wondering if this spacer is not quite right, it didn't give me a passable gear mesh on the first attempt. I loosened all the mount bolts and got a better gear mesh with just a little pressure against the spacer. After doing this, it passed the paper test just fine.
👍👍
I pulled the screws out one at a time and hit them with blue loctite. I’ve run 3 packs now and haven’t had an issue but haven’t really been bashing it hard either. Hope the aftermarket comes up with a better solution soon
I did the same but have not been pushing it. M2c racing has a motor mount in pre production so hope to grab that soon.
nooooo the sledge cant have monkey metal gears noooooo. just get an aarma, wait noooooo, i cant keep going through differentals, noooooo. why is my 7075 chassis bending, nooooooooo
Try tapeing the spur gear slot in chassis, l cannot run an rc car with this slot open.
My sledge had couple of kinks,but all is well so far
Glad I waited on getting this rig. my X-Maxx and Arrma Mojave EXB keeps me happy!
Yeah maybe they will fix the problem in a new version. The truck is a lot of fun when it is running.
I ran into this as well. two weeks to get the gears from my LHS. but the only thing I think was a cause was the motor mounting screws on the bottom of the car come loose so then the motor moves on a bad landing and the mesh is gone.
Just upgraded to a m2c mount.
The problem im having with mine is the pinuon grub screw keeps breaking si the pinion gear comes loose and slides off the motor shaft while running
Yeah it's a pain. Even with my m2c motor mount my pinion keeps getting loose
Will a arrma kraton 6s center diff fit if it does run that they are tuff man
never tried. I think the harder gears will help. Its only the spur so far. Internal diff gears seem ok so far.
I'm only at the part where you start stripping it down so you might already find the issue but my thoughts are the motor positioning, you can get inserts to go in the ovals and hold the motor positioning more precisely they are very cheap can't hurt to try.....
no one should buy the car until traxxas puts better metal and esc in his car. and I say honestly I am not a traxxas fan but the sledge looks good and I would like to have it but here in nl it costs 819 euros, then I think the car should be made with good quality material. buy a car from 819 and everything breaks on car unbelievably
I am with ya. I am def mad about this for sure. When the truck is working its so good. Then the gear goes and it is like ahhhh why. I hope that new lock tight helps me out.
Mine is indestructible what ever you did to it is to blame not traxxas
Mine was fully stock never touched anything and stripped twice under light driving. There is literally a gear adapter that sets the mesh so there’s nothing to really mess up other than the motor mount screws being tight which were checked both times.
This is not acceptable for a 1/8 scale with $800 price tag, my mini maxx still have the oem plastic spur, I jumps it a little more that a year now, it is still fine.
Until now, Traxxas still not good at 1/8 scale market.
👍👍
honestly every 45mins ive broken something on mine then it takes a week to fix
ive just stopped getting traxxas stuff for it entirely, none of the non traxxas replacements including tires have needed to be replaced even once
That same truck is $1100 in Canada , heard a few things coming apart on those, is it because this is first year of a new model ?
Yes.
Wrong Mines a beast
Went through a few spur gears in my rustler vxl a few times. So you are not alone with this issue.
👍✌
Slipper clutch
Also it could be debris being sucked up through the center deff vent acting like a vacuum effect causing this premature wear.
possible
I think it would be even tougher and not eating up spur gears and pinion gears all the time if Traxxas actually put the Kush drive in this truck but they did not. I have the Traxxas Max and that has the Kush drive system in that and I have yet to replace the opinion or spur gear and I bash and jump that all the time even at skate parks.
maxx is def a tough truck
My sledge. Brand new. Five battery charges worth of runs. Stripped gears main, front, rear, and center. WTF.
Yeah weak gears from Traxxas. You will have to upgrade.
I have this on order, but not for long!! Thanks you just saved me from throwing that thing out on the highway! Off to change my order to the Tekno Monster Truck, that thing is a beast!! Good Luck!
👍👍
I think traxxas didn't do alot of testing on that motor mount. Hopefully that m2c wilm have one out real soon for this car. My will be here Friday don't know if I want to run it.
Yes I am waiting on m2c. I would run it just do not send it to high. It is weird some people have no problem but mine keeps breaking.
I think traxxas didn't look in to the arrma fanboys feedback or on the arrma vehicles before they make the sledge, traxxas probably only listen to their our fanboys, thats why. Arrma and some other companies have more experience on this kind of 1/8 scale vehicles, that's why the exb is born on the arrma line.
@@RCPropaganda some people have no spur problem, caz we all run our vehicle differently, if i get the sledge, i am for sure i will have the same problem as you, caz i am the kind of person who like to throttle quick and full throttle on get go or after landing.
that sux dude, maybe I wait for the next generation 😬
Not a bad idea
I switched to a Hot Racing Harden Steel gears
I think that motor mount sucks lots of ways for it to move around
Damn I’ve never seen a pinion gear that thrashed good luck bud
🍻🍻
That stinks! I never use those gears. They are total garbage: GOOD LUCK M!
🍻🍻
i would recomend getting the upgraded machined part for 50 bucks
i know this should not happend and the machinded part should have been included with the tuck but life is not fair
Can i get info what is better than sledge?
Look at the Arrma Kraton or Outcast
@@RCPropaganda thx man, is there something that need to be done in kraton? Or its ready from the box and i do not need to upgrade it? I seen some videos that people also complaining on some things.
@@SD-gg1hz They all sorta will need upgrades if you want to go hard. If you drive easy do not go super big you will be ok. Also your always a crash away from doing something big. Best thing is to get better as a driver.
I look at it this way it's an over powerd lil car considering power to weight ratio ... shits gana brake... so for what u say unacceptable not even shit hapend its not your pinion or spur gear thats the issue it has to be something els
Traxxas need to quit using Arrma 7075 metal in their Gears. Pretty simple fix I’d say 😂
It's a Crapxxas, what do you expected? A good product out of the box? Durable parts? Good electronics, plastics and design? If so, look elsewhere; You'll never find those features under the Traxxas brand.
who cares everything breaks It's all about having fun why is gas prices so much money who cares right I know I'm right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s 100% the open gap
👍👍
using chinesium
haha chinesium, that word always makes me laugh.
It's "sintered metal" and it's 1/10th the cost of a machine cut hardened steel gears. I've been messaging traxxas about using this crap for years. It's a way for traxxas executives to make more money on replacement and upgrade parts.
Such a horrible vechile. You can hear it when you drive it, the gear are abnormally loud. It sounds like someone is being murdered. I know metal gear are louder but this is not because of that. This is because everything from the motor mount to the gears to the motor are inherently flawed. This does not happen with the Xrt or Maxx. They messed this one up. Not to mention it is near impossible to use a larger pinion without additional parts and spending additional money.
Maybe the motor slipped some too
Perhaps
sounds like taxxas quality control at it's best that is why i am glad arrma comes with steel pinion and spur gears and i know a buddy witht the same issue not just you
🍻🍻
Who cares problem say something like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah mate spur and pinion are die cast metal and that will happen all the time until you put machine parts. 🦘😁
👍👍
The guy says good thing I know how to work on them it doesn't matter you still got ripped off by Traxxas no hobby grade design or testing went into these at all cheap Chinese hundred bucks to make right at the very edge of toy rc
😏
Bad machining probably the shop that made it probably using failure message or material
