So the summit is awesome but has anyone got one as fast as a brushless erevo? If so what setup did you use?

Cole Moore · 12-09-2011, 03:11 PM

This fast enough??

If it is you may try to get ahold of him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8ZkZxaxrmsre

I think that you would be missing the point of the summit by making it go as fast as an e-revo.

thats an opinion and mine is that if you put a summit in a rock crawlers place your missing the point of the summit. because its not a crawler by anymeans.

MMM 18 T pinion 83t spur and the tires(big joes) ballon so much it jumps down the street and flips over and over again lol. I run 4c 4400 mah 30c batteries. It runs about 43 mph before I loose control. Need some revo tires to find true potential. No matter how you set up a summit it's a badass. Put a SCT body on it and take it to the track and eat up the other drivers. Kinda mean but fun as hell.

All it takes is the same motor as the E-Revo to go that fast. However, it is completly uncontrolable unless you also lower it, use the Progressive 3 rockers, add sway bars, put a lighter body on and use better tires...basically convert it into an E-Revo.

Lukescb7 · 01-02-2012, 10:13 AM

yeah, and youll lose the water resistance, i would go with the kershaw revovler kit.

OFFROADRCKOREA · 02-02-2012, 10:47 PM

MMM and 2200 will be plenty of speed, you simply need to waterproof the ESC.

Tekin rx8 esc with a tekin t8 1750 kvbrushless motor. Running a 20 tooth pinion and a robinson racing metal 65 tooth cluch upgrade spur gear. with two max amps 9000 mah's wired together for a crazy long lasting four cell lipo. is faster then most monster e revo's

Number 1. this is Kilometers, thats pretty slow lol. Number 2 just waterproof a MAMBA or TEKIN Combo. You dont losing the crawling ability. Programmable drag brakes and Crazy fast speed. Look up on youtube 1,000 videos on how to waterproof these items.

I have a waterproofed Hobby King 150A BL esc, 2650kv motor w/fan heatsink combo on the motor with 17t pinion 68t spur, this thing is just stupid fast in my opinion and I am extremely happy with it overall for the $90 I spent on the set. Running 4s 5000 packs. Now if I can just keep the diffs from grenading every few months.

stickys · 05-10-2012, 11:27 PM

aluminum diff cups help. my faster one has the tekin rx8 2000kv, ran 18t pinion and never got close to hot. i dont know how fast you can get it to go but tires are a must. mud slingers did pretty fair at speed with my set up but revo speed wasnt what i was after.

Do you mean your running 2 x 2s packs equalling 4s, or 2 x 4s packs in parallel for 10,000 mah?

Just curious....

LKN Crawler · 05-11-2012, 07:30 PM

I run the mmm in mine and it is a lot of fun.

Kylar · 05-22-2012, 08:53 PM

I have a Tekin T8 1700kv Geared for pretty fast speeds and still crawls great!!

stickys · 05-24-2012, 07:03 PM

is your tekin the truggy version? and what is your gearing? i was thinking of swapping in a 1700 truggy

yeah its the truggy version, youll want the longer motor, more torque. My gearing is similar to revo gearing, i'll have to check. I know i went down to a 56t spur i think.

stickys · 05-26-2012, 06:46 PM

what is that esc?

Its a Speed Passion Silver Arrow II esc. Its a great Sensored 1/8th ESC, especially for the price. Nice and smooth, and does not get too hot, its handled everything ive thrown at it with ease.
