  • The Sledge is Traxxas best handling basher IMHO. I'm digging everything about the truck (Looks better than my Kraton imo LoL 🤣) except the Chassis and the motor mount which are quite a Letdown. The chassis bent and the motor mount is a total junk! It lasted One bash!! A Huge Thank You to M2C Mitch and Avery for stepping in and addressing the heart of the problem. 4mm 7075 chassis, one piece sliding motor mount, Diff mount and ESC plate are Huge upgrades strengthening the weakest point of the truck and also taking it's durability to extreme level. till next time. Thanks for watching

    Awesome Bash and M2C overview Brother Chris 😱!!!! Good geez that stock chassis looked like a blue banana 👀. What a complete letdown from Traxxas "Tough". 800$ plus tax for that and a substandard plastic diff holder and cast motor mount setup is a total letdown for real world bashing 😝. Who TF wants to fight keeping mesh or blowing pot metal spur gears when out having fun. Traxxas comparing the Sledge to the K6s on paper clearly didn't pan out for "no upgrades needed" 😂. Thanks for not sugarcoating the truth Bro. I think even hardcore T fanboys can see it for what it truly is bone stock. Thank goodness for M2C Racing. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

    Aluminum chassis’s should not be used for bashing. Plastic is the way to go. But hey….M2C will be happy to take your money 👍

    • @CommanderAstigRC
      @CommanderAstigRC  Před 2 lety

      I appreciate your time watching. They all have their pros and cons TBH. Personally I prefer 7075 chassis over plastic for the bashing that I like to do. Metal can be reshaped when bent, plastic on the other hand when it breaks game over. I believe the combination of both are ideals and what makes better RC.

      @@CommanderAstigRC …..metal can be bent back. But each time you do that it’s weakened. Plastic chassis’s don’t break as often as metal bends. In addition, replacing a plastic chassis is much, much less expensive than replacing a metal chassis.
