traxxas summit iS everything a crawler is....and then some

Hahaha.... Trolling will resume it's regularly scheduled bs at 3:30 tomorrow; right after Mommy picks him up from school and brings him home. Allow 30 mins to an hour for homework/chores... Looks like he's already been tucked in for the night. "thumbsup"
 
I was wondering how to adjust the Anti-squat to fight the Torquetwist though on the Summit :idea:
 
if i loose the smoke in my ESC.... where can i go to order some more? can i get aftermarket smoke. my summit will dominate if i can up-grade my smoke"thumbsup"


I heard that if you hurry up and catch it in a ziploc bag when it is escaping they can put it back in for you."thumbsup"
 
I say... go for it.

Wovereene just go to the comp youve been invited to. If your a grown man you should have no problem with being laughed at driving a summit. Nah, for real, crawler guys are good guys. They'd flip you some shit, crack some jokes and then probably let you drive a real crawler. It would be an enlightening experience for you.

good point. and if your rig turns out to be any good you win
some stuff, and can come on here and give us and earful.


just from the vids i posted you can see the summit approach
an obstacle, put the wheels up somewere, and bottom out the front
if its higher than a mouse terd.

this could go on forever, you need to drive a LIVE AXLE rig
to see what crawlings all about. i admit the summit is a good
truck, a good monster truck.im sure it does things well, even great,
rock crawling is not one of them things.

for those of you that read this in 5 mins i envy you. i wasted
atleast fifteen, and atleast i have come off a little
dumber. :shock:
 
Holly Sh!t this the the best thread going . Worth reading every post 2 maybe 3 times . Just so you don't miss a thing .

You have to read 'em 2 or 3 times just to figure out what wovereen is trying to say :roll:

If he's even got fuzz on his nuts I'll lick 'em.
 
I got a bone stock USA 1 that could whip butt on any 2.2 crawler around. Only problem is the flux diode is counter reacting the push pull pinion on the upstroke. Otherwise I'd trash any crawler on any day. But at the moment it can only go back in time and run over scantily clad women on the beach and bring back Oreo cookies that drop on the floors of the factories. And make the best Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches.

Yeah, your asking " what the hell difference does this make?" My answer, Join the club. I'm frying some double thick applewood brown sugar cured bacon at this very minute, Hungry anyone? I'll warm up the Usa 1!

i really hope from the bottom of my heart
that you are taking the piss. the usa1 and the summit
would be a good contest especially if the summit was nitro. :?

i had bacon last night in a burger,which actually gave me a crook
stomach at night. what came out of my stomach into the lavatory
bowl, resembled both these trucks rock crawling ability.

c'mon now, HAVE ANY OF YOU DRIVEN A REAL CRAWLER?

i have a 1.9 that could open woopass on both them rigs."thumbsup"

i do like bacon though.
 
Don't really consider nitro an upgrade. I can't think of a thing that is gained by it. The problems with nitro:

1. Crawling is an "upclose" type of thing, unlike running nitro on your MT or car. When you are running a nitro on the track you don't really get any closer than about 10 feet or so, crawling you rarely get 5 feet away from your truck. You'll get brain damage from suching all of those nitro fumes and noise.

2. Nitro uses unspent fuel as a lubricant for the engine, that unspent fuel gets pissed out of the tail pipe, ergo, on to the rocks; I'd be pissed if I was next in line...

3. Nitros torque-band is at very high RPM, which means you'll have to run the engine constantly above 80%. You'll get about five or six runs (max 10) before a rebuild was required.

4. You still need batteries.

One possible solution would be to run a 4-cycle engine, they produce a lot of torque and a lot lower RPM, but they are a lot heavier...

Stay electric: charge, plug in, turn on and crawl... "thumbsup"
Wow, that went right over your head.

Let's see, 2 J2-TT chassied tlt comp crawlers that placed 5th overall in points in Carolina Rock Runners when I ran comps 2 years ago, A Juggy Super that I built from scratch and ran, Yeah, I've driven a few. Too bad sarcasm is lost today. But the bacon understood.
