Best Battery for Traxxas Sledge

The 1/8 scale Traxxas Slegde has just been released. It’s the awesome monster truck everyone is talking about right now. If you’re looking for the best lipo batteries for Slegde, you’ve come to the right place. Here I will recommend two reasonably priced batteries that have gained a good reputation on social media.

Slegde has only one battery tray, dimensions (L×W×H): 160mm x 57mm x 45mm.

It’s a 6s powertrain, so depending on how you drive, you can choose to run a lipo battery below a 6s, like a 4s or a 6s. Also, you can connect two packs of 3s batteries in series. I prefer this connection method. Since 3s lipo batteries are compatible with most of my 1/5-1/10 scale RC cars, they can be fully utilized.

Recommendation 1: Best 3s lipo ×2

3S 5000mAh 50C Softcase

Specification:

  • Chemistry: LiPo
  • Volts: 11.1v / 3s / 3 cells
  • Capacity(mAh): 5000mah
  • C-Rate: 50C Constant / 100C Burst
  • Dimensions(mm): 155×42×25mm(L×W×H)
  • Weight(g):343g
  • Plug Type: XT60 & Traxxas plug
  • Balance Connector: JST-XH

Pros

  • Reasonably priced
  • Long run time
  • Top-notch customer service

Cons

  • no

This battery allows the full potential of the motor. This is what RC enthusiasts looking for speed look forward to. You can connect two packs of this battery in series, which is equivalent to running a 6s battery. 22.2v means a higher discharge platform, which can provide a stable impact. Besides, it comes with a Traxxas plug, so you can connect the Sledge directly.

Recommendation 2: Best 4s lipo

4S 8000mAh 100C Softcase

Specification:

  • Chemistry: LiPo
  • Volts: 14.8v / 4s / 4 cells
  • Capacity(mAh): 8000mah
  • C-Rate: 100C Constant / 200C Burst
  • Dimensions(mm): 153×45×43mm(L×W×H)
  • Weight(g): 660g
  • Plug Type: EC5 plug
  • Balance Connector: JST-XH

Pros

  • Reasonably priced
  • durable
  • Amazing punch

Cons

  • no
The 100c discharge rate can provide a huge current, allowing your vehicle to reach top speed quickly. 8000mah significantly increases runtime. It's one of the lightest batteries, and 660g doesn't make much of a difference for the Sledge.
