I forgot I'd made this video of the Traxxas Summit. Just a nice easy trail out the front of my house. Nothing special... but I had fun!

The summit is an underrated rc. I wish they would make a 2.0 instead of coming out with no prep drag cars.

It's definitely about time there was a brushless edition. It doesn't need to be ridiculously fast but it could handle a little bit more speed I think. I guess one issue would be that their brushless systems are usually sensorless which wouldn't suit the slow off roading aspect as well as the 775 Titan. The low gear ratio helps, I've seen them work quite well with sensorless in the low gear but still tend to cog a bit if you try to crawl. Might need a sensored system to do it justice or at least an ESC that has very good startup behaviour with sensorless motors like some of the Castle speed controllers that work miracles. If they can add brushless power, up the speed a little but keep it within sensible limits for the chassis and not sacrifice low RPM crawling then I would be all for it. It needs to be done right.

Still love mine. Reminds me of age. 20s up and running. then it skips 30s, 40,s. Returns in the 50,s as a steady walk in the park, with a bit of vitamin intake, if you want a bit of speed. In your 60,s, it is like an old dog. It will never let you down. Keep safe all in the Tomley household.

I have a “10th scale” (more like 5th scale in actual size) traxxas summit that i bought used, its probably over a decade old and has an old brushless diablo system in it. Still works great with some minor parts replaced and a strong single steering servo. I absolutely agree, the summit is a weird RC car that has no specific purpose other than having fun on rough terrain. Its too big and slow for the track (even brushless with 4s) and not too great for extreme crawling, so its kind of an in between truck. I just love plowing through rough trails and even just going through fields and hills with it since its so tall, it basically goes over anything. Definitely a unique RC car to own, people always ask me about it when i bring it to the track.

i had some money from a tax return, was thinking about buying an xmax. But then i saw an used Summit for a good price so i decided to try it instead as its more multipurpose. And i do not regret my decision! HAd to replace driveshafts all around as the dry rotten rubber got inbetween splines and one pulled itself apart at the pin, and front diff needed repairing as it was shot. Ah the joys of secondhand rc cars. Other than that, lovely thing.

Being an owner of a Traxxas Summit for four years now, it still amazes me what it can crawl over. I've used mine once in the last year as I've been messing with some of my other 12 RCs. I need to pull mine apart and check bearings and change the fluid in the diffs. My bearings had better days. Most of them are looking Rusty and I'm guessing probably 50% of them need changed at this point. Last outing, I ran it in mud and water and didn't clean it and dry it up when I was done. I'm usually pretty good with keeping up on cleaning the vital parts, but last time I used it it was to cold to wash outside like I typically do. I had enough bearings to completely redo the entire RC so I'm not really concerned all that much.

Definitely like this but it needs narrower tyres to look more scale. And blacked out wheels at the same time but it looks pretty effective at what it does, and it does everything except go mental speeds. Yet fast enough. I might have to get one. This is becoming a habit. Grrrrrrrrrr ;-)

The only thing is it suffers that same suspension "over flex" durability problem. You'd never know it unless you geared it like an erevo or hit a 10 foot drop. It used to be very popular, but then the erevo took over as one of the most well known "look" for an rc car in the world.
