Besides the girth, the shitty steering, the tires, the diff outputs that break if you look at them wrong, and the axle shafts that twist right off, you're right it is a great crawler.

46 posts in one day all in one thread, is it just me or does it seem like wovereene is just trying to build a post count to eventually see the for sale section, so he can buy himself a real crawler

btw i'll be willing to open an invitation to any summit to take on my 2.2 on a heads up comp. your 4 channels vs my 3. loser takes a hammer to their own rig

Because if I am dealing with a man, I am going to keep on until you bring it to the comp so that I can have a new Summit to play with.

If your a kid, I am going to leave you alone.

That would mean he might have used the search function or read the rules, which I find unlikely.

How much runtime do you get out of the Summit?

the steering could use a stronger servo but if you want to take tight turns jsut unlock the rear dif and it turnss considerably better......

a summit is a glorified e revo. you know what the e revo DID. It raced as in haul a.. around a track. the summit has racing to the core but with big cheesy doughnuts of rubber for tires and remote diff lock. the creeper has that to so nothing OG there
