out of all the cars i own this is my go to car for holidays , iv had it years , imo the best car Traxxas have ever made all around . ive never changed a thing on it and its never broken 1 part, GREAT CAR
It's fun watching and listening to you go through almost the exact same reactions as the rest of us summit lovers did the first time we took ours out. Great video!! Love the summit!
Great video! Summit is an awesome machine for creeks , rock fields and woods with steep terrain. I personally have the original summit. It doesnt have Lipo cutoff stock like the current summit's. Only issues was 3 Servos and the front diff went out recently after 9 years . Wow time flys bye. Also I am on my 3rd motor but that's to be expected since it spent half it's time in or under the water!
I looked at this and thought I’d like it. It solves the biggest complaint I have with my Son’s Everest. A second gear to go a little faster when you take a break from crawling. Now I’m pretty sure I’m gonna have to get one...
The Traxxas Summit: Jack of all Trades, Master of None. To quote Jang: "The Summit is best at being a Summit." One of my favorite things about the Summit was watching the suspension work over really rough ground while blasting across in high gear. Simply a thing of beauty! 👍
"Jack of all Trades, Master of None." You can say that about most any RC car. If you want to go out for an afternoon with no destination in mind, take the Summit. It's the master at adapting to most any terrain. It's the master of having fun anywhere. Why be the master of one thing, when you can be so damn good at so many.
Hi Gary, you haven’t even scratch the surface of the capabilities of the summit, you MUST try it in stupidly-impossible ROUGH terrain and you’ll be amazed! Believe me,I have one for months now and It surprises me every time I take it out!! You must do a full throtle in very rough terrain, yo’ll see ...
Fantastic job! You are quickly becoming a favorite of mine on youtube with the quality of work you are putting out now. My summit has always had a special place for me because it is the truck I can take anywhere and do anything with, If I had just one, it would be it; call it my desert island RC. The lights make night driving possible and if you throw a set of chains on those massive tires, it takes to the snow extremely well. The brushed motor is great for creek runs over waterfalls and rocks and the slower gear makes FPV trailing a blast. I have run mine with the Castle MMX and 2200KV motor from the start, the new sensored version is pretty much the best thing that can happen to the summit.
Man brother Geary you just made me want to get one. I’ve have thought about it in the past but after seeing you run it and talk about I’m definitely going to get one. Thanks for sharing brother👍
@@killeroffroadhobbyz Heh, haven't bought myself one yet, but I just watched a brushless upgraded one on Tomley RC, and it looks like big fun! ua-cam.com/video/h8yrHR7pjYU/v-deo.html
great job mate. one of the few summit vids out there actually describing the low/hi locked and unlocked gears and diffs as you go. thx. how is the summit going and what are your thoughts on it right now? i was set on a yeti xl kit but after hearing so many durability issues with it im thinking about a summit.
Avoid messing with the suspension at all costs! That was one of my mistakes. Stiffening the suspension in any way will put stress on components that were designed to be stress-free in some places because of the jelly shocks. You will snap bulkheads, hubs, & arms in the weirdest places.
The T-Bone Racing chassis skid is nice, but you don't need any of their other stuff, like for the a-arms or their front and rear bumpers, what comes on the truck is more than good enough. Although, if you want to try the stiffer suspension options Hot Racing makes the little cantilever rocker mounts for the push rods which have all 3 stiffness settings where you just have to change where you connect the push rods (otherwise with the Traxxas option you'd have to get 3 separate sets).
I had one before and have been missn it. I know what your feeln when you drive it. And it's awesome. I had a Bigfoot body on mine , lol. Can't wait to see what your take is on it and what you do to it.
A Traxxas Gary likes... and basically a revo no less. Quo the twilight themesong.. Just got into crawling as well. The technical aspect of it is extremely appealing. Maintenance is easy compared to bashing 1/8 monster trucks. Runtime is also ridiculous. I’ve yet to drive my scx10.2 to cutoff.
Just watched the whole vid! Was easy to see your enthusiasm for the truck! How much life was left in the batteries? What run time do you think you would have gotten if you went the distance on the batteries? Just wondering. Thx!
That trucks sweet been looking at them a lil pricy though but all my traxxas cost big bucks lol I don't have a crawler yet was thinking about it would this be a good first crawler?
I bought a Axial Bomber for $400 and it has broken so much I had to pump another $250 into it and it still isn’t right. Don’t even feel comfortable driving it. However, a new Summit $475 and will need very very little money to keep it going. More fun too!!!!
Steve Declark Summit is a great crawling and trailing machine, It is almost twice the size of other 1/10 scale crawler. If you are not into true scale crawling, summit can't be beat. Non of the other scale truck have the speed of Summit at second gear. Which is a bonus when you want to bash like where you just saw in this video.
Just want to share some experience on 2065 mini servo with you. One of the tiny gear inside is like a potato chip. If you really have to adjust the spring saver. Do it only when the power is off. The torque with just unscrewing that hex with power on can strip that gear 100%(in my case). I stripped 2 with power on, and 1 with power off . That 1 gear is just that weak and tiny.
Get get why you were saying it's better than the Nero but it's honestly not fair to compare the two they are two totally different trucks ment for different things ...now if you threw a brushed setup in the Nero it would probly make a great crawler aswell with a couple changes..but anything with big tires and enough clearance will crawl.. idk I love the looks of the summit but idk I just don't see where it's expressive rig. Maybe it's just the stank of Traxxas over powering the truck lol idk
KillerOffRoadHobbyz I get the similarities but the all lock mode in the Nero was never ment to crawl crawl it was ment to play and get you out if a bad spot the summit is ment to crawl crawl ...thats why I say they two were ment for two totally diff purposes but I do get the comparison
I lucked out big time this morning. I picked up the original Summit this morning (unfortunately, no LVD) for only $60 bucks. Dude threw in 2 extra wheels and a bin full of tools, shock oils and the original manual
hmmm .... i don't think it can compete with Our Cars on any level ... accept maybe side ways stuff , 8:34 ... 9:42 we can do all day Very EASY ... XD ... Too EZ ... hopefully We work with Traxxas oneDay
I smashed aflat screen TV with my stomach the stomach drove right through the f****** TV it was amazing I didn't think it would that strong but man when I flew that summit down the sidewalk and I hit the TV the TV explode upon impact
out of all the cars i own this is my go to car for holidays , iv had it years , imo the best car Traxxas have ever made all around .
ive never changed a thing on it and its never broken 1 part, GREAT CAR
It's fun watching and listening to you go through almost the exact same reactions as the rest of us summit lovers did the first time we took ours out. Great video!! Love the summit!
That’s probably the best design vehicle that Traxxas has made so far that actually works
I agree
Well the traxxas rustler is pretty decent

Definitely get the summit it is worth your money it is an awesome truck
I looked at this and thought I’d like it. It solves the biggest complaint I have with my Son’s Everest. A second gear to go a little faster when you take a break from crawling. Now I’m pretty sure I’m gonna have to get one...
It's unlike any other Rc and I can say right now I like this rig and can't wait to take it out again

Jang is the man
what climbs steeper than a summit ?
J-N-H-M
Beats me, but I sure do wish I still had mine. ☹
Kyosho FOXX lol maybe

Summit's are bad ass! I love climbing hills with mine. Climbing snow hills in the winter is a blast too! Thanks for the great video!
Nice video. Bought my Summit last November and love it. Very fun and capable truck. Please shoot more Summit videos
Oh yeah coming soon
I Love the Traxxas Summit! I have an older version. I've added the lights up top and Proline F-11 wheels. Truly capable of doing a lot of things
It is very fun to watch. Im getting one!
Hi Gary, you haven’t even scratch the surface of the capabilities of the summit, you MUST try it in stupidly-impossible ROUGH terrain and you’ll be amazed! Believe me,I have one for months now and It surprises me every time I take it out!! You must do a full throtle in very rough terrain, yo’ll see ...
Trust me I will be taking this thing through the rough stuff very soon
Oddly enough I just ordered one last weekend for soul purposes of all terrain crawl capabilities and FPV.
Can’t wait to get my hands on it.

100% agree with you about the nero and the different meaning about somthing when you ask :)
Thanks
I haven't ran mine Summit yet. I can't wait though. I've ran my 1/16 Summit quite frequently.
The Summit is like nothing else, great rig and very fun
Man brother Geary you just made me want to get one. I’ve have thought about it in the past but after seeing you run it and talk about I’m definitely going to get one. Thanks for sharing brother👍
I was the same way always wanted one but now I'm very happy I went ahead and grabbed one. Great rig "so far"
Looks like a fun car to drive
Very fun I had a blast
Heh, after I've bought everyone else's presents, I may buy myself one of these in January!!!
They are a very fun Rc
@@killeroffroadhobbyz Heh, haven't bought myself one yet, but I just watched a brushless upgraded one on Tomley RC, and it looks like big fun!
ua-cam.com/video/h8yrHR7pjYU/v-deo.html
Hell yeah got to love that truck
For sure
great job mate. one of the few summit vids out there actually describing the low/hi locked and unlocked gears and diffs as you go. thx. how is the summit going and what are your thoughts on it right now? i was set on a yeti xl kit but after hearing so many durability issues with it im thinking about a summit.
Great vid Gary. That summit holding up on those hills very good. Now put it in full mode and pass the remote to rich and let him send it lol
LOL humm could be fun
KillerOffRoadHobbyz lol. You know he would fig how to make it soar. He'd be like. It needs 12s lol.
Be excited to see your review and opinion on this. Kool dual purpose rig
I can't wait to take it out again

Hummm sounds like I'm in for a set of skid plates
That's a start.

It’s fun to watch to
Looks good Gary, the E-Revo came with second set of long travel cantilever blocks maybe that has a pair of the short set spare
Yeah the setup seems much softer then the E-Revo but I like this rig so far
Man i put the castle creations 8th scale sidewinder , waterproof in mine I LOVE IT!!!
Sounds fun
Ya like it and love it and wants some more of it. It's a keeper
More coming soon
I had one before and have been missn it. I know what your feeln when you drive it. And it's awesome. I had a Bigfoot body on mine , lol. Can't wait to see what your take is on it and what you do to it.

Just got into crawling as well. The technical aspect of it is extremely appealing. Maintenance is easy compared to bashing 1/8 monster trucks. Runtime is also ridiculous. I’ve yet to drive my scx10.2 to cutoff.
For sure man much easier and yes run times are amazing. I really hope the Summit holds up and yes as of now I do like it lol
Im loving it i hope the sevo hold up
Me too bro
Prolly best video I've seen you do in a long time 👍👍
Thank you
I can hear that smile on your face! I use mine to pull my daughter on her skateboard (45lbs) down the street
Truck is very fun and yes I had a blast
4 loc is such a great feature! Its works great when your driving under water! Put rok loc 40 series and its pretty awesome.
I'll check those out
Just watched the whole vid! Was easy to see your enthusiasm for the truck! How much life was left in the batteries? What run time do you think you would have gotten if you went the distance on the batteries? Just wondering. Thx!
Had to go early but I'm sure there way tons of power left. The full video was 18 minutes but a lot of set up and boring stuff that got cut out
Go brusless!! i did with mine and loved it but be careful with the punch or you'll destroy the diffs lol
Maybe but I'm pretty sure I'm ganna stay brushed
That's what it was made for good info Gary RC brother nice job&video👊
Thanks bro
That trucks sweet been looking at them a lil pricy though but all my traxxas cost big bucks lol I don't have a crawler yet was thinking about it would this be a good first crawler?
That's Traxxas for ya
Its awesome for crawling. Big and bulky but Its beast. You'll be happy for sure
I bought a Axial Bomber for $400 and it has broken so much I had to pump another $250 into it and it still isn’t right. Don’t even feel comfortable driving it. However, a new Summit $475 and will need very very little money to keep it going. More fun too!!!!
Peter Ronzoni man sorry for your luck. Had nutn by good luck with axial , knock on wood. Can't go wrong with bomber. This is a diff beast though.
Steve Declark Summit is a great crawling and trailing machine, It is almost twice the size of other 1/10 scale crawler. If you are not into true scale crawling, summit can't be beat.

Amazing
I agree
Gotta go brushless on 6s. Just don't forget to unlock your diffs on 6s, ha. That's the only time I've shredded diffs.
I don't know man lol
Get some 40 series mud slingers for that bad boy. It's great for some mud bogging.
Oh yeah!
The speed increase in second gear was impressive and surprising to me too. Looks like fun, 4S seems to be quite decent how was the run time?
Very good the batteries still had life when I left but the full run was about 18 minutes
This vids kinda old, but yeah. I love my Summit!
nice video
Meh, not my thing. Great video though, you made it look cool 👍👍
LOL thanks
Dammit think u talked me in to another 1 lol👍
Summit is awesome
now imagine that with brushless power! you know you wanna....lol....
Nope man I'm good
2200kv castle sidewinder 130!
Have you try pulling any dolly with your RC before? That's one of its capability. Great review.
Haven't yet lol but I'll try
Just want to share some experience on 2065 mini servo with you. One of the tiny gear inside is like a potato chip. If you really have to adjust the spring saver. Do it only when the power is off. The torque with just unscrewing that hex with power on can strip that gear 100%(in my case). I stripped 2 with power on, and 1 with power off . That 1 gear is just that weak and tiny.
Thanks for the info I'll get a couple just in case
I told you you will like the summit ...
LOL yes you did
Oh :)
Get get why you were saying it's better than the Nero but it's honestly not fair to compare the two they are two totally different trucks ment for different things ...now if you threw a brushed setup in the Nero it would probly make a great crawler aswell with a couple changes..but anything with big tires and enough clearance will crawl.. idk I love the looks of the summit but idk I just don't see where it's expressive rig. Maybe it's just the stank of Traxxas over powering the truck lol idk
It's the only other rig with lockable diff's and even if the Nero was brushed it would not even come close to the Summit. The Nero cost more as well
KillerOffRoadHobbyz I get the similarities but the all lock mode in the Nero was never ment to crawl crawl it was ment to play and get you out if a bad spot the summit is ment to crawl crawl ...thats why I say they two were ment for two totally diff purposes but I do get the comparison
😀😀😀 cool
I lucked out big time this morning. I picked up the original Summit this morning (unfortunately, no LVD) for only $60 bucks. Dude threw in 2 extra wheels and a bin full of tools, shock oils and the original manual
NICE BRO that's awesome
When is 4s summit triple back flip video coming?...Hahaha.
Most likely ............... humm........
Specially brushless
Hi Who has the best prices around on the Tekno 410Mt thank youty
I think it's pretty much the same everywhere bud
I would rather this than xmaxx
X-Maxx
It's a traxxas bro. All traxxas are pretty fast.
hmmm .... i don't think it can compete with Our Cars on any level ...
accept maybe side ways stuff , 8:34 ...
9:42 we can do all day Very EASY ... XD ... Too EZ ... hopefully We work with Traxxas oneDay
It's much funner to drive the Summit then watch
It’s actually 2s it’s 2 2s batteries wired in parallel. Run time is long as hell tho
What gonna happen to hobble of aka Ariel and arrma
Not sure
Auto crck got me but hobbie co filed bk chap 11 today they own arrma and axial and a hole lot more
Oh yeah that's right cause of Traxxas sued them over the Nero and won. Bummer
I smashed aflat screen TV with my stomach the stomach drove right through the f****** TV it was amazing I didn't think it would that strong but man when I flew that summit down the sidewalk and I hit the TV the TV explode upon impact
I didn't subscribe to see any crawlers! Bashers only please! The Only traxxas that is worthy of buying, or review is the Xmaxx!👎👎
Sorry you feel that way but much more bashing to come
