Traxxas Sledge Tyre Test - Pro-Line Badlands MX38 HP are they better than the standard tyres

Those tyres look knarly! 60% brakes should stop it rolling over. 👍🏼

Awesome bash great video. 😄

Traxxas did do a really good job with this truck but the 20 million weight diff fluid they put in the center all of the ones that I have seen opened up were just about empty and that's why the front tires balloon so bad so Right out the box most people have been opening it up and putting whatever they prefer in

Hello from Germany. At first sorry for my bad english. The Badlands are better then the stock Sledgehammer

I have a completely stock Sledge minus motor fan And pro line badlands. I blew the stock tire (fr) on the second session (sessions were about 30 minutes) on a 4s pack! i put on the badlands and they actually have more grip on the dirt and asphalt. On asphalt she sticks too much and can’t whip her like the stock tires though. She still pops wheelies on 4s and easier on 6s in any environment.
These vehicles run negative camber and when you took the knobs off the inside of the tire, you’re eliminating useful traction.
I will never run the sledgehammers again. If i somehow blow the badlands, I’ll buy another set as they are way better.
And i pulled a faster top speed with the badlands over the stock tires. 58mph (badlands) vs 54mph (sledgehammers).
But this is my experience with the vehicle, to each their own.

They look like strong trucks

Are they the belted badlands or non-belted? That information helps. You say they are not ballooning so I'm guessing they are the belted versions as the non-belted balloon-like crazy.

Hi we’re are you racing your sledges it looks great fun just got one my self and would love to meet you with you guys ?

Hey bro, great vid...you guys are mkn it tough for me to not buy this rc🤦‍♂😆!! I already hav several lol. Try the wheelie bar for E-Revo 2.0...not sure if fits but its made to attach to the wing and is easily removable.

Tire

they wobble ?

Hello I enjoyed this video and comparison a lot! I just got a used Sledge. It’s got a couple nice M2C goodies on it. I’ve been trying to figure out what to run tire wise. I’ve actually got a new set of Proline MX3.8 Badlands HP just like you used here. I’ve been thinking to buy stock box tires the sledgehammers and sell the prolines. I’ve had the prolines from a unused project. I think I’ll go stock. I actually might return the truck full stock as I don’t bash heavy and like stock cars for easy replacement/repair parts. 🇨🇦👋

Hello, I have a question about these pro line wheels, do they need to be ventilated?

what is the part number of the original sledge wheel and tires? is it TRA8979?
I actually like that they are a bit narrower and they seem to perform similarly from your comparison

I have E-Revo and already have Trencher X which are 165x105mm, also have the old Badlands 3.8 non-belted that are 149x69mm but are maybe a bit short for the E-Revo

although it's fun how agile and fast it is off the line it's hitting the floor on some bigger rocks so thinking of some taller ones but want something narrower to have the better turning and the MX38 are almost as wide as the Trencher X so maybe no point getting those as a second set...and the original traxxas sledgehammer seems to actually have decent traction unlike the Talons that were on the E-Revo and needed replacing badly
