I don't understand why people hate on traxxas or the price in the comments. So many others are just as expensive. Sure you can build from scratch, use aftermarket parts to make it stronger or perform better. Some people simply don't care and just want to have fun, break it, and replace parts, and bash more, repeat. People never keep their glocks factory? Hondas? Muscle cars? Motorcycles?You're either an enthusiast, or not. Good info either way.

@@alankowalski8781 focusing on anything negative even if true is still negative. Yea it’s $800 but it still outperforms most any rtr truggy on the market. If your looking to send this rc or any other rc off the big ramps it’s going to need some upgrades.

Fantastic timing with this video. With the XRT that just got announced. I’ve been debating on getting that or saving a bit and getting one of these. But with all the upgrades. It would push this past the price of the XRT. So XRT it is.

@@RazorRC sorry, then it hit the wrong person. In YT RC there is almost only RTR videos with those guys saying: the 1st thing I do is RIP the electronics and install better. That is BS, because A RTR electronics aren't that worse than other ( with Traxxas I have telemetry nearly for free) B why buy it in the 1st place? I did it the other way around. 20 years ago I bought a nitro kit and upgraded it. Last thing was a not cheap Spektrum DX3r and 2 years ago I bought 2 RTRs.

I don’t see why you didn’t take the avenue of saying build it from scratch with all upgraded parts? If it’s such a good RC, it shouldn’t need all those upgrades, especially for a $800 rig. If I really wanted a Sledge, I would just hit up Vitavon, and M2C, order their whole catalog, get the plastics off eBay, spend just a little more than what the truck costs, and have a truely beefed up rig. But at the same time I can’t justify the Sledge because I already have a built K6
@RazorRC Жыл бұрын
If you want to go that route, it’ll be cheapest to buy a Sledge and then chop shop the chassis and electronics or whatever else yourself.
@alankowalski8781 Жыл бұрын
No, because by the time you chop shop all of that, you could have had one built. And dealing with chop shopping your own rc just to build one, takes more time and money than what it’s worth.
@RazorRC Жыл бұрын
@@alankowalski8781 what are you talking about, the only parts I mentioned in this video is the chassis and the diffs. that's all you would remove, the electronics are up to you, but 95% of the car would still be built because you literally need to keep 95% of the parts for the car to function. the chop shops literally make money by selling the parts to you for more than it costs in kit form, so obviously that is more expensive.
