|  wounded summit can still out crawl many RCs....
Took wounded summit out for what I thought would be the final Battle run before I break it down and rebuild build all the major components for maintenance.. Well I went through 2 sets of Traxxas series 4 battery packs ( about 1 hour of run time) and its still running… it just won’t go down for the count…. Why my title page? While in Sanford Boat launch I met a guy going fishing with his family that said he had a wraith and that even with my issues I was going through sections his wraith would have difficulty. I don’t know (and don’t care) if its true… all I know RC-ing is fun. He said “he had seen the summits (not like this freaking thing) on video and boxed up but not in person or witness how rugged they are… I was running alone so I have a lot of video of rocks but I put the better parts together so you can see my Video of what (Nathan, I think was his name was and his family) sat for a few minutes watching me make... No Music in video so you can hear that it was truly damaged.... video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzgoxg5abO4 Last edited by Mdlopez1; 09-04-2011 at 01:38 PM. |

I would be careful with this..... Many have said the same and got a lot of shi* for it, just know though that the summit is very much bigger that most crawlers and the wraith so yes it is going to be able to go up or over some things but that doesn't mean it can out crawl.

I know some people go nuts over things... Chevy versus Ford Versus Dodge versus Toyota... I was just quoting Nathan... I know the summit is larger than "Real Crawlers" and it wont do all the same things but each RC is designed for a purpose, and my point (ignoring Nathans comment) is summits are brutally rugged... me... personally... the summit is Extreme Terrain RC thats why I have mine set up as i do... I got rid of many of my rcs and kept 2.... My stampede for speed and bashing and my summit for everything else... I don't comp crawl... I tackle rough terrain that only most specialty RCs can conquer.... Last edited by Mdlopez1; 09-04-2011 at 01:53 PM. | |

That videos like watching a Tmaxx on the rocks. Just blazing full throttle and going where ever it ends up. You need to get that bad boy fixed so it can actually crawl again...

Watching that thing flounder around is hardly crawling.

 I think using the word conquer might be a stretch though  | |

Yep, your all correct... I did not call that crawling... Nathan did... Me I call it trying hard as heck to finish breaking it... It didnt break, it would slip out of gear but did not finish breaking. But, even with all that it still went through areas many Rcs can't... Regardless of me "crawling" or "bashing" through the rocks, many RCs damaged (even working) like that could not do what I was doing.

Neigh...neigh...nei...n...n... (Thud....) Beat'n....lol I agree it's not crawling and a summit is not a crawler. But...I was capturing what Nathan had said... I was was trying to break the tranny and difs that were already worn /damaged ( since it was time for a rebuild) by seeing how much abuse it could take. |

that may help you as well .a bunch of summit guys smoked servos from that issue(me too) did the adjustment. Issue solved shifts perfect every time.dirty clean, upside down...It's on the bottom of the trans under the shift rod. There is a small hole/Well inside the hole is a grub screw 2mm loosen as you shift it by hand back and forth get the tension set so there is just a tiny bit of drag.unfortunatly have to pull the trans to get to it.You don't have to take apart the trans. in your case you may be able to get to it without removal.on a summit you have to remove it.You may already know about this if so nevermind..  May help someone else anyways

i used to do the whole "run it till it wont move", but i found that usually caused me to pay double for repairs. id just fix whats broken and go for a good run. they go up hills like no other, but a summit is hardly a crawler at all. good looking truck man  |
