Kpowell911 Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) So, first off road bash. Comparing it to the E Revo 2.0, which I think is the natural successor. E Revo has a Max 6, 46KG Servo and is geared up. Sledge is box stock. Obviously the E Revo was quicker, but the Sledge ran rings round it. Handled so much better. Apprciated, Im not running TSM on the E Revo, but even so, the Sledge is definately a step up in tetms of handling. With that out the way decided to try the jumps. Initially wasnt going to bash yet, as Sledge parts are rare and theres still worries about the gears….. That said: We werent hard on either, but there was basically a pack of lipos of this, and obviously some of the jumps went wrong so we had some crashes. Only issue we are having with the Sledge is with the TRX - XT90 adapters coming un done, so think were going for a Max 6 🙂 Edited May 2, 2022 by Kpowell911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 So. Max 6 time. Also bought some extended motor wires. Yes I know you get some in the box, but didnt wanna solder. Wanted a plug and play. And to be honest, 6.5mm bullets wouldve cost almost the same money. Shout out to Modelsport for the epic service as usual 🙂 Out with the old Loving the little wire routes Mounted, calibrated and BEC Set to 7.4v. Stock servo seems to have woken up a bit now too? I also geared up, bit of a faff, its like mounting a nitro engine, 4 screws to slide into place. Stock pinion looked a bit worn….. Gone from a 13t to 15t (basically used the stock E Revo one….) stock 52 spur. Ill go to 16/46 when GDS etc make some uprated stuff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) With great power comes great responsibility…… Tyres are just holding on with the higher gearing and the Max 6…. May need some diff tuning. I hate diff tuning…. Edited May 19, 2022 by Kpowell911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locky Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Just try some silicone moldable ear plugs, dont think the brand really matters. You will get more wheelies, so swings and roundabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Dont know how long the ear plugs last in use but it seems a common fix to reduce ballooning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Ive ordered some to give a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Added an RC Skinz skin: and added half an ear plug to the stock centre diff. It was pretty solid stock however: I just added half an ear plug to it🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddfg Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I think this should be more comparable to the exb line up which in that case it is fairly cheap, a used Kraton exb goes for around £600, no model is perfect out the box and everyone always upgrades along the way.
