3 жыл бұрынI'm being honest when I say this is the ONLY Traxxas I have ever wanted! I'm not a fan of the Traxxas Xmaxx, and you can all say it's the Worlds Best RC Car all you want, I'm not a Fan lol.

I do love the Traxxas Summit though and I've waited 10yrs for one! It's so versatile, it's BIG, can crawl over pretty much anything and the engineering/design work is awesome!

Purchased a summit from my LHS a decent while ago, and ever since that day, it's been great. the 20mph top speed is decent enough to be enjoyable at a small skatepark, but flipping it into low gear, locking the diffs, and going over things you wouldn't expect is the best part of this truck.

I've had one of these for many years, I love it! I would definitely recommend upgrading the tires. I run the Big Joe's on mine. And I also upgraded the motor and esc to a Hobbywing Exrun 2200kv sensored system. Plenty of speed and power but still fully capable of crawling at slow speeds. 6s is possible with that motor/esc combo but it's too much power for the differentials. 4s is perfect on that system.

I definitely agree with you. I bought one last October, honestly there were lots of times in the past I was about to pull the trigger and I got my purple too. I was lucky to found at the same time the orange body/wheels combo at the same time plus the LED bar at a truly great price online. The BEST all around do it all RC truck on the market. I do a lot of trail hiking, and this truck is the best companion and most fun to run truck on my fleet. Obviously I placed 2 better servos than the stock ones plus a set of Badlands. Truly decent runtime since I got a 4 pack of 7600mAh lipos, usually a 2 pack gives me almost 2 hours of trail runtime. It does almost everything in stock mode. Got mine from Graves Hobbies Florida in 4 days and I live in Puerto Rico. I put a couple videos on my channel, you can check them out. Enjoy!

Love these things! Amazing flex for a double wishbone system and I honestly think it's all the crawler a lot of people would ever need with the added bonus of being a good basher too. Not super fast with the brushed motor but they usually have enough speed to be interesting once the motor breaks in properly. An upgrade to brushless would be an obvious choice these days. Some people will say it can't handle it and others say it's bullet proof lol. From what I've seen, if you're not abusing it too bad it should hold up quite well but the diffs need to be shimmed or better still, get metal diff end caps/bells. There's cheap metal ones from China these days which do the job nicely apparently. I wouldn't make it super fast but I reckon about about 30-40ish top speed whilst still being able to crawl would be perfect.

Upgrade the micro servos to the traxxas metal geared ones ( On my new summit they went out in about 3 or so runs and stripped out so I got the metal ones after that) And go up a tooth or two depending on what you want on the pinion and third tighten the slipper clutch down makes it way more punch down low.

Run it on batteries with a higher c-rating I got 27 kmh on grass out of mine (I have 7000mah 50c lipo) And you need to switch of the lipo cut of and use a lipo alarm instead, because it throttles at 50% battery to 50% throttle Im really looking forward to the next video with it!

I Absolutely Love my 1st Gen. Traxxas Summit! It's all original except for the Proline Trenchers. Still runs strong and even better when I went with 2s liposuction. Have fun and enjoy. It will go many places.

Now, the best summit and/or e revo are the mini brushless versions. The summit is hard to get now, but they still make the e revo if you don’t already have one.

You can turn a 1/16th revo into a Summit easy. 1. Wheels & tires. 2. Long travel suspension rockers. 3. Change springs (revo is green, sommit is blue) 4. Check pinion/spur gear ratio preference.

A Legendary R/C Truck, im so glad i picked one up "pre-covid" with all the LEM & RPM extras/ goodies before the price hike on EVERYTHING ! Oh an a 14.4V Dewalt Conversion for a bit more Speed & Torque. Its Still phenomenal at crawling but now its made to last. I also choose the purple one too. 😊 Cheers for the video. 👍 Note - Dont go Brushless ! It defeats the purpose of the epic rockcrawler. I know i never will.

I've got a first generation Summit. It is quite incredible what it crawls over. The only thing I wish it had was the crawl mode like the TRX4 does. I would change out the ESC to the ESC from the TRX4 but it is only rated for 3s. It's hard to find something that accepts 6s, but is a crawler ESC. My first gen summit doesn't have a LVC and is really only ment to run NIHM batteries. I bought a castle ESC and motor combo about the same time I got it but haven't burnt out the stock motor or ESC yet. It is a good RC I think.

I've got the same Summit and I can only say I hope you have a better experience regarding reliability. It is an awesome crawler and can out perform my dedicated crawlers in that respect and it has what I would describe as unique handling the way it sags, dips and lifts an inside wheel as it lollops around. Tons of fun. Just an edit to say that although it has 2 x 2s batteries I think the load is shared where only 1 battery powers the drive system and the other powers the electronics so technically it's a 2s powered motor which is probably why you're underwhelmed. Correct me if I'm wrong but try plugging in one battery at a time and you'll find you can power up the car on just one battery but the other one powers the motor.

Ah the summit. I never owned a full size. I converted my 1/16th e revo into a mini summit a year or so before I started my youtibe. Miss that little thing. It went everywhere. Kept up with 1/10th scx10s. Had 1.55 swampers on it. The revo and summit are almost the same really. Was kinda interesting Awesome choice man.

My one complaint about the Summit was the poor efficiency/run time with the high voltage 775 motor. Not enough to commit to going for a goodly long walk in the bush with it, considering the number of batteries required to lug around. I changed mine to a 2~3S water proof sensored esc and a 1/8 sensored 2600kv motor from Hobbyking (I had to run an external 10A BEC to power all the servos), but I wired the batteries in parallel.. So the motor running on 7.4v is super efficient and collectively doubling the battery capacity, but spins the same speed as the 775 Titan on 14 volts. So much torque it blew the grub screw section out of the stock pinion :P **edit** However, the locking diffs are not as strong as the E-Revo and don't last if you do a 4S + Brushless set up like the E-Revo.
@TomleyRC 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, that big old 775 will zap the power pretty quickly I'd imagine! I'm sure once I go brushless I'll find all the weak spots lol

@@TomleyRC There be plenty if you try 4 ~ 6S big air bashing XD Seen a bit of that while in the industry. If a customer mentioned intent for a MMM and 2650 swap into a Summit they were looking at, I'd usher them to the E-Revo and the stage 3 cantilever kit.
