How's the transmission holding up? Im planning to use one in a project of mine. And just to add a comment do we all build our rc's for the joy of building and bashing? If they didn't brake they wouldn't be any fun.

The trans is holding up fine... So far. I do like building and bashing, but I'd rather build a very dependable truck that I can spend more time bashing than waiting for parts. On my crawlers, I don't mind if they break, it's usually a cheap fix, or a part I can make anyway.

That's not the point tho, I'm not complaining about breaking, I upgraded the hell out of this thing with so much power of course it will break, I expect it to break. Hell, that's how you know what to upgrade next, you find the next weak link. I just wanted some opinions on what parts are strong, what people have had good luck with, and what I should upgrade next!

Thank you all for those of you who made positive comments and suggestions. Hope to have the truck back up soon and make some new videos. In the meantime, I'm starting a new scale crawler build!

Idk the video showed otherwise lol there is the pushing it beyond its limits but only if your doing it correctly, If your just gassing it and flipping it and all that, that just means the drivers error, not the rig.

Let's get some vid with you trying to crawl with this thing. The crushers aren't exactly on road speed tires nor is the summit built for speed only. Parkin lots are b o r i n g
Just sayin

Other than that yes you have a badass truck. I would love to run with you

Servos have been fine, but I haven't crawled with it yet. If you get those tires you might want to order a steel center drive, MIP axles, and shim the diff, or get the alum. ones too.

That is a gnarly truck you got there. Would love to see it on some more extreme terrain.

I had the chance to get the summit out this past weekend and had some good fun with it.

Pulling the sled was fun!

Damn right. That thing rips, I am glad I got to see it tearing up the dirt last weekend. Funny if you read my above post before I ever knew you then now we have actually ran together!
