Need advice medic, I got a slash 1/16 with nearly every integy and rpm upgrade, and a brushless motor. What should I upgrade? I'm currently working on converting it to an erevo, but that doesn't matter an extreme amount to me.
You " nerding out" makes me feel better. I'm not the only one. I have friend that laugh about me and my rc's. Till they come over and want to drive one. Lol
Because of you... I got my first hobby grade rc one year ago. A Traxxas Slash 4x4. Within the first 5 minutes I broke an A arm. I rushed to the hobby store to get a replacement right before they closed. Anyway, long story short... it has been completely upgraded. It's not even close to being stock anymore and I am I love with this hobby. Now it's a year later and my Summit should arrive in the mail tomorrow.
I have been watching your channey for 4 years now and I watch this show while working on my Arrma Kraton so I don't get to frustrated while getting into the hard spots
Working on my Clod Buster. Getting back into RC. I have had this truck for a long time. It is beat down from years of back yard bashing. Now that I am older, it is time for a new lease on life and a lot of upgrades. I'm dusting off all the old models and added a new one. Picked up a Wraith kit. Lots of fun, and keep up the vids.
I'm right in the middle of rebuilding my Summit's rear diff. My local group just had what we call "Bash Fest" and ran a Monster Jam style race. It was a blast even though my diff couldn't take the abuse of the day, but hey it is the original part and is 5 years old!
Working on my Rusty 4x4 VXL. Has MIP X-duty shafts in the rear and I just put the Traxxas CVD shafts in the front. (hobby shop was out of the front MIPs or I would have used them) Literally 30 sec into the first pack I broke one of them. Sheared the threaded part of the stub axle right off. Really glad I didn't have to chase one of my 2.8 Trenchers down the road. (landed on it's side) I don't bash very hard but it's pretty crazy that after 8 months on stock axles with no issues, I break 2 of them in a week (doing nothing special) and then break a Traxxas CVD in under a minute! I love this hobby! :)
The LEM upgrade on the transmission is really an upgrade everyone with a summit should do. It really is night and day. Also there Differential upgrade is Great too!
I have 2 drift cars and a truck I work on while watching ur vids ! My truck is a Arrma Granite 1/10 scale and a Tamiya 4wd and a rcx 4wd and I have learned so much about them bcuz of u thank u so much man keep making awesome videos, peace !
Love watching these build / rebuild vids. One tip I learned about loctite a while back is if you really want it to work properly the metal surfaces (threads) need to be 100% clean and free of oil/grease/dirt. There is a proper loctite primer you can get but I always use a bit of brake cleaner with a rag and or air gun. Makes a huge difference. BTW Thank you for inspiring me to get an RC for the first time, I have a 1/10 Losi Night Crawler 2.0 that I am have a great time with in the local bush tracks here in Sydney.
Awesome tutorial and first look! I'd be telling a lie if I said i wasn't super jealous of those gorgeous shafts! Rest assured, installing the transmission slop eliminating dog carrier is quite easy.
Really enjoy your UA-cam channel. I have a Traxxas Rustler about 8 years old. Has low run time because for about 6 of those years I forgot I had an RC. But past few months enjoying it 2-4 days a week.
I work on my team associated RC10t stadium truck, been hassling it since its a 19070's truck, but! I got it a brushless heart and it's always needing attention and upgrading parts and etc, and watching RC adventures is like watching tv in the living room, just while working on my rc's of course :)
I've got a Stock Traxxas Slash 1/10th XL5 2wd. Just put a set of Pro-Line Trencher X SC 2.2's on her and she now wheelies, with the stock Titan 12T motor and a 5000mah Nimh battery. So happy I went with new tires over trying to get some Lipos for my first upgrade! :D
DOPE truck... I wanna see you muddle through the transmission... learning on the fly is something everyone cannt afford. Watching tutorials is a cheap alternative. BTW I have a 1/10 & 1/16 Summit and a 4tec 3.3... THANKX for your work and keep pushin
+Nevandre Britz Glad to know you found the problem. Remember, when troubleshooting an RC, keep it simple. If the wheel isnt spinning, find out why! Source the problem, and often you will be surprised at how easy the fix is :)
Hey medic ive just wanted to say ive been watching you since 100k subs man. I think its amazing in how big the community has actually growing and being there to see rcsparks itself develop into what it is today. :))
Hell yah, go ahead and do the trans upgrade on camera. I've always said: "If you aren't making a mistake once in a while, It's 'cause you aren't doing ANYTHING " I told that to all my employees, and to a man, every one of 'em became more confident and productive, by not worrying about me berating them for making a mistake . We're all human, go for it and to hell with any one who stupidly gives you any static. All of us learn by doing, and sometimes seeing potential pitfalls, can help the next person doing the job, avoid 'em. Your videos are awesome........keep on rollin' !
The rc that I am currently building is a Hpi Baja 5b. I also have a traxxas summit, traxxas slash 4x4, team associate sc10 4x4, team associate b4.1 and a Aarrma Granite. really am a rc addict but I really enjoy the hobby. Thanks for the great video really enjoy watching them.
Wow you keep nerding out on your videos, that's like the 5th one in the past two months lol. Nice axel upgrade, now to see how well they work after you upgrade the esc that is.
Awesome tutorial! I actually am working on mine as I watch. Just putting together some custom links I just made for my SCX10 Wroncho build. I tend to put things together then change my mind and take it apart again! I believe this is the third time I have tore it down, made changes and rebuilt ;)
LEM stuff is bulletproof. I have the aluminum diff cups hard hardened I bars and spider gears in my summit . I bought an X-MAXX a week before Christmas but I still love my summit
they look sweet for sure and don't forget to put the lock screw on that motor hehehe just picking sure you know it's out sold all my racers have a SCX10 well 2 of them a TF2 Losi mini crawler as well as a converted Losi micro into a 4x4 quad for the back of the TF2 and to think you were one of the main reasons I got into RC in the first place lol Thanks for everything over the years and looking forward to the many more years and maybe even seeing Mo take over or at least co hosting with you & Mom best wishes to you & the family
I have a stampede 4x4 vxl. I did a fright conversion to it by putting on wing(needs to be remounted with new rpm tower),sc tires, bulldog body, protrac kit, and lots of other things ;)
Rite now I'm glueing the inside of my stampede 4×4 and just got done fitting a pack to go in the tray so my bigger lipos can sit on top and I dont have to cut nothing. And just got done putting 17mm adaptors with some nice big wheels
You might want to try using HPI's flange nuts they use on the savage with 17mm wheels. Cut the threaded part of the traxxas hub off flush with the hex, then use the HPI nuts. Doing that avoids dealing with the slop that ends up getting ground into the stock hubs by the threaded axle. I've done this on both my revos and it's worked out great.
I would like to see you install on the trans upgrade love watching the rc sparks and all the adventures keep you the great work and thank you for the help you have given me with some of the questions and problems I have had with my own rc's looking forward to all the new videos
Do you have stronger diffs to go with those stronger axles? My understanding is it's easy to blow the stock diffs if you put a lot more power and much stronger axles on the Summit. I've never had that problem because my Summit has stock power (I just modified the stock motor to spin on ball bearings to reduce parasitic drag from the stock bronze bushings), but given how much of a pain it is to service the Summit drivetrain it seems like a good idea to bundle all your drivetrain upgrades together if at all possible. Unfortunately I don't know if stronger diffs even exist for the Summit due to the complexity of their construction, with the remote diff locks and whatnot.
lucas gun oil! I found it at the counter at my local auto store! I use it on everything, gear box's, diffs, bearings. It's water proof, sticky and thin visc. Just a little drop goes a long ways! I would recommend it for just about any part of an rc!
medic why dont you use the front end loader that picked you up i know you were working on it but can we get an update would love to see that thing in action
Just a suggestion but you could mount your esc on a stock rear chassis brace for Revo/Summit Tra5632. Also a great place to mount an extra battery for lights etc
+RCSparks Studio I'm running an RC4WD Trail Stomper that has been heavily modified just to run 4 link front and rear (trail finder 2 kits) with a few more custom parts, pain to find replacements / upgrades for now its discontinued.
Your Summit is so sweet!!! Ive been researching some good RC's to buy as my first and right now I've narrowed it down to the Summit or the Vkar Bison that kinda grew on me and is cheaper too, but this summit is a bit of a step above the bison.. I would say the summit is overall better quality and has crawling capabilities, as well as bashing, and the bison has a good entry level price point, but also seems like it would be a decent racer too and handles really well.. whereas the summit seems a little heavier and a bit less "racy"… (just my two cents right now) obviously the summit is a step above in terms of quality and attention to detail and upgrade-ability .. its pretty impressive
luckkydraggon1111 I have both, and I have to say I enjoy the summit much more even though it's much slower. It is significantly bigger, and much much more capable in rougher terrain. The bison is really good for high speed bashing and speed runs with the loose diffs and brushless system. The summit is a well known truck that can take a beating. I have yet to break anything on mine. They're both pretty durable but I would take the summit hands down any day. Just my opinion.
A threaded washer would be called a nut! I run these rims and tires with a summit 2 speed transmission and a brushless 4274 2200kv motor with great power to the tires.
Came back to watch this one.. thinking of an axle upgrade or 4 as I twisted one and snapped another all in one run. Do the LEM's come with the ends? Whatever make I go with is going to be pretty hefty for me so I want to make sure I get the right set up.
a LiKE click is always appreciated for my work, thank you!
Need advice medic, I got a slash 1/16 with nearly every integy and rpm upgrade, and a brushless motor. What should I upgrade? I'm currently working on converting it to an erevo, but that doesn't matter an extreme amount to me.
So Nice your summit
Do the dog carrier on camera! I have the summit and would like to see the transmission apart because I have never done so either!
+RCSparks Studio bääääämmmm this is really a good job and a great upgrade........thumbs up my friend :-))
hay do u watch Rc world
You " nerding out" makes me feel better. I'm not the only one. I have friend that laugh about me and my rc's. Till they come over and want to drive one. Lol

I cant work with my RC's without your vids. I am currently working on my 6s thunder tiger EMTA g2.
Just put an LEM trans dog thing in my summit while watching this video! Those drive shafts look incredible.
The LEM upgrade on the transmission is really an upgrade everyone with a summit should do. It really is night and day. Also there Differential upgrade is Great too!
hey!!!thanks for the tip on lock tight.....cause i was having trouble finding it in my country
I have 2 drift cars and a truck I work on while watching ur vids ! My truck is a Arrma Granite 1/10 scale and a Tamiya 4wd and a rcx 4wd and I have learned so much about them bcuz of u thank u so much man keep making awesome videos, peace !

I've been watching ur channel for about 4 years and its probably the best channel I watch still
+ReviveParkour Hello! Just wanted to take a moment to say thanks for the years of support :)
i have a 1/16 traxxas e revo that i'm turning into a 1/10 offroad bug, that will be painted to look like the wilkey works LS1 powered bug
The lightin made your fingers look like they was covered in blood. Pretty awesome

I was watching your last video well I was repairing my suspension on my Redcat blackout short course truck . And I like your videos
Great video Aaron. I use nail polish for many projects. Great build.
Just got a set 3 days ago , really easy to install. Looking forward to the next Summit adventure.
His Traxxas Summit is so cool
Awesome tutorial and first look! I'd be telling a lie if I said i wasn't super jealous of those gorgeous shafts! Rest assured, installing the transmission slop eliminating dog carrier is quite easy.

I liked the "jack stand" you used lol
I've got a Stock Traxxas Slash 1/10th XL5 2wd. Just put a set of Pro-Line Trencher X SC 2.2's on her and she now wheelies, with the stock Titan 12T motor and a 5000mah Nimh battery. So happy I went with new tires over trying to get some Lipos for my first upgrade! :D
Harry Baker uuuuuum if it has all those parts then it's not stock
@@wckedcp3582 so tires equals all those parts lol ok
It's amazing how this summit has changed so much over time. It looks so cool every time we see it. Sweet upgrade too! Those look tough. Thumbs up bro!
Thats funny when you uploaded this i was upgrading my axles too👍🏻
DOPE truck... I wanna see you muddle through the transmission... learning on the fly is something everyone cannt afford. Watching tutorials is a cheap alternative. BTW I have a 1/10 & 1/16 Summit and a 4tec 3.3... THANKX for your work and keep pushin
Thank you for another (old) video!
yeah! I foun the problem! its was the axel, a small pin fall out! thanks, huge fan of your channel!
+Nevandre Britz Glad to know you found the problem. Remember, when troubleshooting an RC, keep it simple. If the wheel isnt spinning, find out why! Source the problem, and often you will be surprised at how easy the fix is :)
Working on my summit now while watching yours haha. Keep up the vids man
Hey medic ive just wanted to say ive been watching you since 100k subs man. I think its amazing in how big the community has actually growing and being there to see rcsparks itself develop into what it is today. :))
+masks Hey there, thanks for the years of support..! It's been a ton of hard work, but so much fun. I hope you are entertained :)
Hell yah, go ahead and do the trans upgrade on camera.

Nice job Medic!
Just got a summit today. Oh boy she needs some serious love . I'ma have fun tho .
I really like to set up with the tires the rims and the drive axles. Truck has a really strong look to it.
Wow you keep nerding out on your videos, that's like the 5th one in the past two months lol. Nice axel upgrade, now to see how well they work after you upgrade the esc that is.
I just got the summit 1/16 scale, already upgrading some stuff and replacing my bulkhead gear in the rear
Thanks for posting another good vid. I would like to see how you fix the transmission slop please.
Awesome tutorial! I actually am working on mine as I watch. Just putting together some custom links I just made for my SCX10 Wroncho build. I tend to put things together then change my mind and take it apart again! I believe this is the third time I have tore it down, made changes and rebuilt ;)

I was actually watching this while working on my rustler vxl :)
Great videos as usual. Waiting for my summit to arrive in a day or two
This looks really ASOWME I like it a lot.
It looks so tough and beefy I like it
Wow they truly look AWESOME !!!

Thanks for everything over the years and looking forward to the many more years and maybe even seeing Mo take over or at least co hosting with you & Mom
best wishes to you & the family
nice now you have me thinking about a summit
Lookin' good dude, can't wait to see it in action.
I have a stampede 4x4 vxl. I did a fright conversion to it by putting on wing(needs to be remounted with new rpm tower),sc tires, bulldog body, protrac kit, and lots of other things ;)
I definitely would like to see a video on the Trans !!great video them looks great !!
I just make my whife mand playing this epis vídeo on the big 42" tv.Nice....
I'm working on my redcat blackout xbe pro busted the rear bulk head after a 20 ft jump it's an awesome 1/10 truck keep up the awesome videos
Rite now I'm glueing the inside of my stampede 4×4 and just got done fitting a pack to go in the tray so my bigger lipos can sit on top and I dont have to cut nothing. And just got done putting 17mm adaptors with some nice big wheels

11:36 " I'm going to do these by hand so I don't over tighten them." (As he growls while tightening them) haha 💪💪GGGRRRRRRR
Just got my first brushless rc car, Absima AMT8 not had chance to have a go yet but looking forward to it, love the vids aswell mate.
good way to update on the show medic

I absolutely. love your videos can't wait for your next competition
Awesome upgrade👍
lucas gun oil! I found it at the counter at my local auto store! I use it on everything, gear box's, diffs, bearings. It's water proof, sticky and thin visc. Just a little drop goes a long ways! I would recommend it for just about any part of an rc!
Lookin great! Would love to see the transmission mod video!
What a pain gettin those wheels off!
Wazza722. Huntsman 3.8 with mudslingers 40 series
man i love how them drive shafts look man . nice upgrade man
Yes need to put mine in got a set of those sweet drive shafts
medic why dont you use the front end loader that picked you up i know you were working on it but can we get an update would love to see that thing in action
Make a video for the transmission!!
I have cleaned up my Kyosho Inferno mp9e so now it looks like it is new again!
I have a traxxas rustler and have a castle creations running it, it is amazing
More more more!!! Love the summit videos.
Just a suggestion but you could mount your esc on a stock rear chassis brace for Revo/Summit Tra5632. Also a great place to mount an extra battery for lights etc
Did you make sure to have the longer drive shafts on their proper sides because the summit differentials are offset
+RCSparks Studio I'm running an RC4WD Trail Stomper that has been heavily modified just to run 4 link front and rear (trail finder 2 kits) with a few more custom parts, pain to find replacements / upgrades for now its discontinued.
11:48 put a piece of cloth on the spindal when you're grabing it with plyers,thats how you'll avoid those nasty scratches
I also love to nerd out with this hobby✔
got a slash 2wd xvl, cleaning the shocks, gonna put a new servo arm on, new axles, and clean and grease it all up, got a race tomorrow
Your Summit is so sweet!!!

THOSE LOOK AWESOME I HAVE A TRAXXAS SLASH 2WD
I need those LEM shafts for both of my summits
Love BFH work stand.. Nice job
When get a running video of this beast ??
A threaded washer would be called a nut! I run these rims and tires with a summit 2 speed transmission and a brushless 4274 2200kv motor with great power to the tires.
I have a few trucks, a savage xs, an scx10 honcho, and a slash 4x4. Saving for a stampede 2wd.
Just looked this up since my first day of a brushless swapped summit didn't go to good, completely snapped the plastic axles straight in half...
i'm gonna build a tamiya Toyota tundra, loved to see yours andere the build off it! i gonna make my own version and post it in my UA-cam. keep it on
Came back to watch this one.. thinking of an axle upgrade or 4 as I twisted one and snapped another all in one run. Do the LEM's come with the ends? Whatever make I go with is going to be pretty hefty for me so I want to make sure I get the right set up.
