INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Traxxas Sledge™ brushless electric

monster truck. The all-new Traxxas Sledge is an 1/8 scale beast

forged from a ribbed aluminum chassis and reinforced to the

hilt. Front and rear buttresses support the massive 5mm 6061-T6

aluminum shock towers, while a huge T-brace running the length

of the chassis provides a whole new level of rigidity. An all-steel

drivetrain feeds torque from the redesigned 2000kV motor and

Velineon VXL-6s speed control to the massive Sledgehammer tires.

Born wild and bred tough, Sledge is a no-compromise beast built

for the extreme.

This manual contains the instructions you will need to operate and

maintain your model so that you can enjoy it for years to come.
