| Thinking about replacing the Summit with something?
I recently just got back into trail riding/rock crawling and got a scx10 and love it,,my son is also having more fun with that and we are currently selling off his go fast slash and buying a wraith. Now the wraith seems to be the perfect cross between some mild speed and good climbing abilities not to mention the upgrades and support seem to be endless. We just brought out the summit on a trail ride with some locals and had a Great time,while the summit can go just about anywhere and is a great truck,looks,function,durability has the speed and crawl,Im just not sure im crazy about it,,its Huge,Heavy,goes through 2 packs at once "my biggest gripe" Im not certain but im thinking about selling it off and putting that money towards something new. I might just get a wraith,but me and my son can just trade off from time to time so there isnt really a need for two,but its possible. Im really liking the twin hammers,but not completely sold on it,,I am looking for something versatile with some speed and crawling,while I will say the twin hammers looks like it is 75/25 in favor of off road flatness it could still work for me and just use it in hilly open areas. Im just not sure and looking for some opinions one what might fit the bill here. I like some speed,crawling,like to play in the water and mud,I dont care for dual battery packs,easy to get parts and something that doesnt break every other run would be great I know from my description it looks like I already answered my question "wraith or twin hammers" but like I said just looking for your opinion or maybe you might know of something new coming out that I can just hold out for? Or just maybe just talk me into keeping the summit? |

I really enjoy my twin hammers on trail runs. I have the front locked and running 1.9 pitbulls so that helps. If your trails have alot of bigger rocks or larger stuff to go over id go with the wraith. But so far i love my TH.

If you already have the summit, thats the one you keep. That thing is in a league of its own.

I love my summit.. the dual batteries is not a issue for me. Still running NIMH until i kill them but with a mixed of low and high gear i can get any ware from a 30 - 45min easily and thats with some large heavy mudslingers on it. and i always have a spare set in my pocket. Think teh max i have gotten just crawling is just slightly over a hour of walking and crawling through a old dry creek bed. Best thing about the summit is you can run it in any weather with no worries. Nothing wrong with the above choices im also looking at some of them but will be keeping my summits as well.

Build a 2 speed scx10/wraith. This truck has a Summit trans, scx10 chassis and Wraith axles. It can crawl! and it can haul! |
