These rear tie bars are engineered to withstand the demanding stresses of off-road bashings, competition driving, and high-speed runs across varied terrain.
If you own a Traxxas Sledge Belted in any colour variant – whether that's the green, red, blue, or orange version – these replacement tie bars are an essential spare to have on hand. They're perfect for those who want to keep their RC truck in peak condition, replace worn or damaged components after heavy use, or simply refresh their vehicle with genuine Traxxas factory parts.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These tie bars are machined from premium 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which offers an exceptional balance of strength, rigidity and lightweight properties that are essential for maintaining precise chassis geometry on a high-performance RC monster truck like the Sledge.
- Green-Anodised Finish — The brightly-anodized green coating provides not only a stunning visual appearance that complements your Sledge perfectly, but also offers corrosion resistance and durability that helps these components maintain their appearance and functionality through countless hours of driving.
- Genuine OEM Traxxas Component — These are authentic factory-original Traxxas parts manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your Sledge chassis and maintaining the vehicle's handling characteristics and suspension geometry as originally engineered.
- Rear Chassis Bracing — The tie bars provide critical structural support and chassis stiffness, which is essential for maintaining suspension alignment, preventing chassis flex during aggressive driving, and ensuring predictable, responsive handling across all driving conditions.
- Pair Included — You receive a pair of rear tie bars in this package, ensuring you have both left and right components needed to properly brace the rear of your Sledge chassis.
- Perfect for Sledge Owners — Compatible with all Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD monster trucks regardless of colour, making these ideal spares for any serious Sledge owner in the UK.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Sledge is engineered as a premium 1/8 scale, 4WD brushless electric monster truck designed for extreme performance and durability. These rear tie bars are precision-engineered from 6061-T6 aluminium, which is the aerospace-grade alloy known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior fatigue resistance. The 6061-T6 designation means the aluminium has been heat-treated to a specific hardness specification, providing optimal rigidity without unnecessary weight. The green anodised finish is applied through an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface, enhancing corrosion resistance and providing long-lasting colour vibrancy. The tie bars work in conjunction with the Sledge's sophisticated suspension system to maintain precise chassis geometry and prevent unwanted flex during high-speed runs, jumps, and aggressive cornering. These components are particularly important given the Sledge's capability to achieve extreme speeds and handle substantial impacts when used with brushless power systems and 3S or higher LiPo batteries. The structural rigidity provided by these tie bars directly impacts how the Sledge's suspension performs, how predictably it handles, and ultimately how well you can control the vehicle during competitive driving or weekend bashing sessions.
