Things To Know
- TSM makes handling worse on the Sledge, increases turning radius and makes steering slower.
- Earlier Sledges have non belted wheels/tires and blue chassis. Later Sledges came with belted tires and a gray chassis.
- Stock steering servo is slow and under powered.
- Traxxas 2255 is a good upgrade for torque/speed https://www.havocspeed.com/product/traxxas-2255-high-torque-digital-servo/
- If you upgrade to the hardened spur gear, the truck will be much noisier, this is normal.
- The stock battery tray has a hole for a body clip, but isn’t included with the truck. Use one, it will keep the battery latch closed and the batteries in the truck during a serious crash.
- These clips work https://www.havocspeed.com/product/traxxas-1834-body-clips-slvr/
- You can run the truck on a single 6700 4S battery using the included battery jumper that came with the truck. Running the truck on 6S will require two 2872x 5000MAH 3S batteries.
