It is a very nice basher, but a crawler it is not. It will crawl, but it is not that great at it.
 
it has remote locking diffs, a remote h and low gear, the low is 70:1, tires are very sticky, you can run all 4 open dif or front locked and rear open, or all 4 locked, this thing is a torque monster.

i added weight in my front wheels and it totally made a difference in crawling. it changed th cg and helped the front dig big time..

it is totally submergeable with no problems, all electrics are waterproof..

a cool little add on is the bright led's that actually allow night crawling....

this joker is bad ass and if they allowed it in a comp, it would kill alot of those "crawlers"
 
the crawl is all in the trigger baby, ya gotta learn to use it...

its th closest thing to a real 1:1 crawler i have messed with..
 
If you entered that in a comp you would get your A$$ handed to you.
It is an excellent basher and you can do some minor crawling for fun but for comps nope.

Please bring this to the ALRC comp. I will give you a RTR E-Savage if you win. "thumbsup"

I will let you run it in the 2.2 class. There are a few others coming from GA so I am sure you can get a ride.

BTW, how many comps have you attended?
 
Obviously you have never been to a comp, see if you can find a comp in your area and go to it then after the real crawlers run the course see what the summit can do then you will have a different outlook on this subject.
 
Have you ever drove a true crawler? The summit its like a swiss-army knife.It does many jobs,but it does'nt do any job great. A plus is it has increased ground clearance due to the independant susp. But it wont be as stable as a solid axel crawler. It has some advantages in that you can crawl,bash,jump,and run in water with no worrys! Thats cool.Don't get me wrong though,I want one!"thumbsup" But i also have 4crawlers. (for true crawling)
 
I wonder if the rules committee will give it its own class?
That would be the only way it would kick some @$$.
 
Then it'd just be kicking it's own ass!

Underwater at night though. So that's cool.
 
this thing can go places a 2.2 could never...

no one can explain to me what a comp crawler does that a summit cant...
