this is what is good..... it has so much damn torque you dont have to use a lot of throttle

Crawl a 65 degree slope.
Oh I got another one, fit between the gates at a comp.

I have been involved in crawling for a little bit, and have also been to my fair share of competitions.

I have a Summit, I also have owned every single crawler made by every manufacture.

While the Summit is fun, it is by no means a competition level crawler.

If you feel so confident in your vehicle, and in your "throttle control" skills I say you should take Jeff up on his offer. I'll throw in a crisp $100 bill if you beat him.

that becomes a size thing in which it is a beefy 10er but not a 2.2er.... and all you have to do to do that 65 degreer is weight the wheels, ease on trigger and trim the body, but i can do 65s........

[wovereene]

it does not fit the comp limits.....it aint no nascar where all vehicles are the same

What you are talking about is called going slow. Anybody can do that.
I'll also throw in my comp rig if you go to a comp and school these guys.

Thank you. I am now officially dumber for even debating this.

Dont have to worry about the gates if you cant get to them in the first place.

[wovereene]

it crawls because it has the torque.

[wovereene]

comp rigs have to be within size limits that are given and established.....

[tklatti]

Have ya ever been to a comp? Running with a timer,infront of others,and those little pesky tennis balls! Its a whole new ballgame...The independent susp. is way to soft and goes through its travel to fast (i know it can be changed) to be a serious threat to a crawler.

[wovereene]

it weighs definately on the side of rock racing because of it abilities....... the big deal here is that it is not as custom as your 2.2 rigs..... that does not take away the fact that the damn thing can go anywhere, especially where there aren't as many rules

[wovereene]

i have seen how the comps go, and i know what they are like...

[wovereene]

i do like comper rigs, what i dont understand is the bad talk on the summit...... it is a black sheep in its own league

So, 2 comp rigs and Jason's crisp $100 bill. I know my rig is worth every bit of $800, although it has way more than that in it.
