- The Sledge is already a beast on wheels, now it turns like one! The Traxxas #2280 is a very powerful servo, and the steering difference is night and day. Soon we will test the steering capability off road, and on the track. The MAXX and E-Revo will also be getting new servos very soon. Below you will find a link to where you can purchase, and get all the info on this servo.
Traxxas #2280 Servo: $159.95

Great comparison now I'm wanting to upgrade my servos
That servo is crazy fast!!
My go to for Sledge videos. Thanks man!
Thank you, if there’s anything you’d like us to make let us know.
No clickbait here. Great video and game changer for sure
Cool Video!👍🔥
Thanks 🔥
great video ... Thank you for explaining everything in detail and showing us what to look out for. Also, how to install the parts correctly and properly. A big compliment and many thanks again ... Greetz from GER ... Kay
Glad it helped thank you
Great video! That High Torque 600 servo is incredible.
The stock Sledge servo in a Maxx is extremely slow. I went back to the stock Maxx servo shortly after trying the Sledge servo.
You’re exactly right, which is odd.
The only thing i can say good about the stock servi on sledge is it held the line when heading towards the ramp very well , even better than my water ghost 70kg brushless servo i put in it, its much faster and more power, but dont stay straight as well heading up to ramp when off road
Stoked to try this servo on my sledge
No ones best Traxxas customer service tbh
Could we get more 4x4 slash videos?
We got one coming out this Saturday!
I had to replace the servo in my Maax right at the 30 day mark! To many skatepark chassis slaps! They sent me a new one, YES, after I paid to ship the broken one back, but still not to bad. I never even put it in, I bought the 2085x?? (X-Maax servo) and it was light years better than the factory junk. Customer service is hit and miss! We really beat on our trucks, break them often, their phone diagnosis is off more often than not. Granted, they are not present to see or hear what is going on! I had motor bearing in a Rustler go bad in 5 months and they swore it was the slipper clutch!😂😂 it’s all good though, at least they answer the phone. As far as after-market parts, the Traxxas fans for Rustlers are junk. We’ve broke multiple! We run yeah racing fans, housing is metal not plastic. ESC on one of the Rustlers went out in 4 months, running a Hobby Wing Max 6 with a 4S battery! The Rustler hauls the mail! Super fast!
I’ll half to try another servo in the Maxx. Traxxas support can be a hit or miss, but they answer the phone pretty fast. I’ve seen those fans, they are very nice.
I wish I would have kept my wide Maxx V2. Thing was a tank stock colored to sledge
Hello, I have a question: how to change the voltage on the servo to a higher 7.4v?
You must buy a ESC that’s rated for 7.4V. Almost all Traxxas ESC are 6.0v There’s a lot of aftermarket ESC that have BEC of 7.4v like Hobbywing.
Thank you for your answer, that's what I thought, it's a pity that the TRAXXAS esc can't change the voltage, I'll have to think about changing it to the HOBBYWING esc. Regards
@@user-xr9kg1jv7i you don't have to change the ESC. You need the BEC from Traxxas. Part 2260
@@Daytona89 Thank you for the tip
Great video tutorial. Can you tell us which Milwaukee Driver you are using? I like that it has a clutch. Or do you prefer a different brand driver?
It’s the Milwaukee 2401-20 M12
@@redbanditracing Is this your preferred driver when working on RC's? Because I was also looking at the Milwauke M4 cordless screwdriver 2101-22
Yes, it’s a great driver. You don’t want anything too fast it could ruin threads in your car, or you can accidentally over tighten.
@@redbanditracing Yeah, I'm just wondering how much torque the M4 has compared to yours. But I like the one you have.
You definitely don’t want a lot of torque, buy the one we have and set the torque to level 1
I honestly regret getting my sledge even though i got it for 400 bucks because to make it bashable , i mean truely bashable you have to replace the chassis with vitavon gpm m2c or other brand, need a reverse gpm or vitavon motor\center diff mount, have to replace flimsy shock towers, hinge pin holders , hing pins, diffs , and if you get the gpm chassis that is thicker at 4mm then you need a better motor to compensate for the extra wieght. And before you know it your like $1400-$1600 in on it..... Just get a kraton exb at least they use better aluminum than Traxxas, wich decided to use cheap ass flimsy stamped aluminum parts that fail and bend , the chassis bends first at the motor\center diff area and messes up the mesh between the spur\pinion and you chew gears up realy fast. So many problems, now with tge extra wieght esc also needs replaced, so you spend a crap ton. I may have more than 1500 un mine , id have to add it all up
The Sledge is expensive to start with, and there are essentially upgrades it needs that we listed. But I think we all expect a lot out of RC’s today. The Sledge is 6s, but you don’t hear anyone say how well it runs on 4s. The MAXX is nearly unbeatable on 4s, and would last forever if ran on 3s. We like to make content for everyone to watch, and the Sledge on 6s is such a beast that something is bound to break. Thank you for the comments, you’re 💯 right. I really was disappointed when Traxxas changed the color schemes instead of fixing a few vital weaknesses.
What motor mount are you running? Do you think it works well?
M2C Motor Mount, best setup for the Sledge. Check out the install video
Traxxas warranty is actually not the best, 30 days is not enough time cover it, in addition, after the warranty window has ended, it is a matter of whether they like you or not if they will give you a complimentary exchange, but the majority of time they will charge you 50% to get it replaced. I understand having to pay for parts that are deliberately broken, but I have had multiple servos, ESE and motors that have stopped working.
I’ve talked to a few other companies, and so far Traxxas is still the best in my opinion for warranty. This hobby isn’t like other hobbies, they don’t know how the part broke they can only assume it was from bashing, landing hard, water, etc. It also depends on how you handle the situation on the phone. The one thing I do not like, if the part is under warranty you still need to pay to have the part shipped to Traxxas. Most other companies give you a prepaid shipping label.
But you know, that the Traxxas ESC only suport 6.0V. You need the BEC Upgrade to use the full power of this servo
The only way to run 7.4v to the ESC is upgrading the ESC to like a Hobbywing.
I'm not sure but i think you are wrong. Your new servo can run 7.4. you can use it with the stock ESC also with 7.4. but you need the BEC from traxxas. The part number on the traxxas website is 2262.
Or 2260. I'm 100% you need this. Then your New servo runs with 7.4v also with the stock ESC. Search on CZcams and you will find the answer
@Daytona89 That BEC is only good for up to 3S - Sledge uses 4S or 6S.
You cannot run a servo with 7.4V with the stock ESC.
Id get the perfect pass servo before i spent more on that servo in video
arent they all made in CHINA
Like most things I’m sure
All this stuff together in one or two pieces. A joke. Only to change the servo you have to unlock a lot of screws.
It makes the wiring more secure, you also don’t see a lot of wires on the Sledge.
