Yes... and even though I’m quite early on in ownership... it seems to be able to satisfy my ‘RC’ everywhere mind

lol i sold mine years ago and i have kicked myself in the ass ever since. really at the time i was pre-lipo and its run time was pretty rough but now i'd love another one.

I use to watch his channel. He went to making lego vids.

@@RunThatRC Yes I know, still good content, Lego doesnt have an age, I like to build some easy, simple prototypes with them before wasting material, lol!

Its traxxas version of the wendigo I would call it a rock racer/bouncer

@@parasurveyor it’s really nothing like the wendigo

@@RunThatRC whats his new channel

Yeah exactly. The comments on the first video were funny though... just shows how different people see things. 😎

It's easy to reconcile those two opposing view points. By looking at more than 2 people. If you look at 1000 people with a Slash and see that 850 of them had to buy upgraded A-arms, then you can be safe in assuming the stock a-arms might be prone to breaking. Just because there are 150 people who never broke an a-arm doesn't mean it is a 50/50 thing, or that some people just see things differently. Or go to a hobby shop and ask the owner "What is your number one selling part for X vehicle?" For the Summit/Revo, the answer is almost always going to be diff gears. As far as the diffs in the Summit go, they are known to be weak in both the Summit and the Revo, and for a multitude of reasons. Metal diff cups and diff housings and proper shimming can help, but ultimately, the gears themselves are made from a very weak material that can be prone to snapping gear teeth off. Sure, some people with high powered E-Revos go and bash the hell out of them and never break a diff, but most people don't have that experience. At one time the Traxxas forum moderators were actually deleting comments and banning people for saying anything about the Revo diffs being weak, because so many people were having issues.

Well I'm sorry but my experience is that the complainers are a vocal minority. I'm sorry that you disagree with my personal observations and want to try and tell me otherwise. Pulling out a load of made up statistics isn't evidence of anything, hypothetical claims don't equal proof.

@@KurNorock why would you assume he based that on 2 people? That's a ridiculous assumption. And then you just go on the invent a load of imaginary statistics to back yourself up 🤣🤣 2 can play. I say 15% of people who moan about breaking stuff have genuine issues and the other 85% are heavy handed idiots who don't know how to drive and cry when they snap something in freezing temperatures or land jumps full throttle. For these people, "Durable" means "able to withstand by awful driving skills" If there's 200 people who think your comment is spot on but 2000 who think it's meaningless speculation derived from personal bias then it's safe to say it's not a 50/50 thing.

@@phillipballoon3597 Because he literally said "Person 1" and "Person 2". Now I'm no mathematician but I'm only counting two people there. And yes, I clearly made up those statistics. Because that was a hypothetical example of my point. Hypothetical is a good word, you should look it up, see what it's about. See I don't care about whether or not some people drive this way or that way. I don't care if they are "heavy handed idiots" with awful driving skills or precision professional drivers. And the reason I don't care is because as you said, most of us are heavy handed idiots with awful driving skills. If the car can't hold up to my awful driving and bad jump landings then I don't want it. That is EXACTLY what a "bashing" car is supposed to hold up to. If I only wanted a car that can only be durable while being expertly driven without error, then I would look for that. But that isn't what I want. I want the car that isn't going to fall to pieces the first time it cartwheels off a jump, or strips the diffs under the power of its own motor.

totally agree buddy 👍🏻

Get. One, you won’t regret it.

It’s good fun! A lot of people don’t like it, but I think it’s awesome!

@@TomleyRC I wanna see that Corally and ur opinion

@@TomleyRC I agree. A good rc to start with too. It does everything.

You're thinking of buying another nephew? 😁

@@skipperstan black market helps on that lol

What you could have done is keep your summit and buy a 1/16 summit for your nephew so you would spend less money

Legend 👍🤜🏻🤛😅

Haha

😂😂

Funny thing is, I bought the orange/black about a month ago and I just ordered the purple/black 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks mate. I try and mix it up a bit 😎

Thanks mate

I have a collection that is feeling like a mental disorder lol but honestly, the Summit gets out the most and is the least costly to keep running. Can't remember the last time something broke.

@@steveryder6733 i bought mine secondhand, so i had to service my front diff, replace drive shafts due to dry aged rubber getting between moving parts and getting stuck so the shaft doesnt extend as it should, i also changed the servos 🤔 need new wheels too, its rubber is getting poor. But its a pleasant truck to work on, i knew what i got into buying an old truck

Is it still stock?

@@rcplayground7 yes

@@danielpinkham4526 Is it fast enough to be fun when bashing?

Not really if you comparing it to the revo. I will say max speed on high gear is around 15-20.

​@@danielpinkham4526 Thank you for your opinion mate appreciate it.

Yes very 😎

I bet a lot of people never touch the spring adjusters. Traxxas has them set all the way loose from the factory so they can compress the suspension for shipping.

I adjusted them a little for the skate park, so you’ll notice it wasn’t as low... but they need to be adjusted more. 👌

@@TomleyRC ps: Traxxas makes a rear chasie brace. Its easy to install only 3 screws. It helps stiffen up the truck. You might want to look into one. Its only 10 us dollars. I don't know what that is for you, but its a great easy upgrade. Have a great one 😁

Thanks mate

Haha... I like that description... ‘Connoisseur’ 😎

I have way to many rc cars and the one getting the most dirt on it is the Summit. It does a bit ig everything while being cheap to maintain. In fact I don't know what I have broken on it. Maybe nothing after years of abuse. I just keep it out of deep water. Less bench time, more play time.

If you want it sooner get a 1/16

Cheers mate. I’d love to do a twin brushless conversion. Not sure you can get the brackets anymore

Good deal!

I can only buy one this Christmas. I'm currently bashing very hard a custom 3S Baja Rey 1/10 and a custom Arrma Mojave on 6S. Basically it's down to the TRX4 defender, e-revo 2.0, summit or an Arrma BigRock🤷? Help.

the Trx-4 is different from all of them😉

Haha cheers mate. I often get comments on my ‘crawling’ videos about my bad driving lol

Thanks mate

Lol that could have been my comment. I love the fast stuff but enjoy crawling as well. Summit balances both extremes and looks amazing doing it. I want a second one just to share a with a buddy

Ha! Bought an orange/black about a month ago and just ordered the purple/black. I wish they offered more colors. If they did, I would have bought green instead of purple

Summit vxl?

I’ve heard it’s a little complicated to take apart 😅

Thanks mate. And you

Thanks dude

Yes, very capable. I few say they won’t handle brushless... but I guess it’s how you drive it!

Hello RC workshop, if you could tell us what the other 4 are that top yr list.. I imagine one of them is the XMaxx, what are yr other 3pics?

LOL.. wait so this is a no go then😒🤷 - what about the trx4 defender or the Xmaxx?

You’ll enjoy tomorrow’s video then... no Skate Park, but it gets some abuse 😎👌

Yes.., all about the fun factor

Yeah... agree 👍

Crasher for sure lol

Haha... well there will never be an Xmaxx on this channel 😅

Oh ok 😅

Thanks mate. It does seem to cut off quiet a bit when under load

Yes lol

Yes, good tip

Yessir 💪 all angles covered

Sooooo is this summit not the in-between?😁 I can only get one this year, a trx4 defender, summit, e-revo 2.0 or a arrma BigRock? Help me please😫

@@surfside75 the summit looks great. I have never driven one however. It all depends on what you want to do with it.

A Summit 2.0 would be awesome!

Haha

1 hand driving, 1 hand holding the camera

Haha

Lol don't know if he does but I do. Just the way they move. Looks great.

Possibly 😎

@@steveryder6733 it does look cool. not my personal favourite but it looks like it can probably out summit the summit.

Yeah they are available everywhere

This is an older model that I don't think they make anymore. It was available in the US and it was basically just an E-Revo with a brushed motor, larger tires, softer suspension, and lockable diffs. The trx4 came out much later.

The TRX4 is a good truck

@@TomleyRC it’s quite amazing how capable that truck is

I’ve heard they are a bit weak

Haha

Yes, when it’s under load it sometimes does. I think someone said the ESC is a bit sensitive

I swapped mine out with my brushed e revo one, idk what its deal it might be time to go brushless
