Default What are the three most common things that break on the Summit

I'd like to get an idea of what upgrades to get. I've just bought the Boom Racing steel heavy duty helical spiral differential ring and pinion gears after the rear stripped when I put a 12v Dewalt motor in. The only other thing that has needed replacing is the spur gear but I foresee many more upgrades in the future. The Leading Edge Machining stuff looks good, but is so expensive. It's either get a Slash 4x4 or spend the same money upgrading my Summit, so I'll try and get only the essentials for the Summit.

Default What are the three most common things that break on the Summit

1) axle shafts
2) drive shaft
3) The high/low shift gear (in parts pack 3985x)
I upgraded 2 and 3. I left the axles stock since they are easy and cheap to change. I had MIPS but started ripping off hub carriers and cracking transmission cases fixing all three of those weak points. I’m running dual Dewalt 820s with an MMP on 4s.


I typed this almost auto correctly free
