Traxxas Summit New Truck

[_paralyzed_]

anybody notice how i said alot of not nice things and then ended with, "if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all"???? I'm such a hypocrite............

lol, it was easy enough to strip the gears in the Stampede let alone something this big

Well I can tell you from experience.
You put a spool in the emaxx or lock any other trucks diff solid.
They really start turning like crap.
As far as locking the diffs in at speed.
As long as the tires are spinning at same speed.
There should be no issues.
I haven't seen where they posted a speed of the truck.
I would guess it should still be close to 30 mph.
The 775 motors was more powerful and faster then 2 550s.
Suspension is revo design with hi travel rockers and higher rate springs to accomendate.
It is not a rock crawler. It is not a racer. I don't do either so to me.
This FREAKING THING ROCKS!!!
The trans has a gear ratio of like 1.8 to 1 hi
4.0 + in low to one.
Where else can you get a truck to run 25 mph (not sure of top speed)
Then go hill climbing or woods bashing.
I see my next RC truck.

This could be cool.

I would love to have one! My e-revo would be for racing and the summit for the bashing. It truely is a perfect world

it just seems that you cant look at any of the good points on this truck.

i realize it doesnt serve too much of a purpose for some(not a pro basher or crawler) but it does have a bunch of cool features to it.

if you throw a brushless system in there i bet you can get a good 35-40 in there in hi mode. put in a single nice servo and now your down to 4
lower it a little and the angle will not be a problem.

you know that at first glance you thought it looked baddass with the tires-rims-and body. sure it will have its faults but most of it can be taken care of with a few tweakings.

i may be wrong about the truck too but we will all find out when it comes out

Keep in mind that if you look into the final drive ratios 25:1 and 75:1 you will see that they coordinate almost perfectly to the stock 3905maxx/erevo tranny with the standard gears and the wide ratio 1st gear set. The tranny/gears are well proven to handle brushless just fine.

I am sure that the diffs are based off the highly successful diffs in the e-maxx and e-revo so I really wouldn't worry there. I have had no diff issues in either my 3905 maxx or my erevo.

Kids who like the looks and want lights will enjoy it.

Come on now.

I would love be one of those KIDS that get to beat the mess out of one. It looks OK (I like a racer style myself) but as I said before all my trucks have been all about speed and handleing. The only issue is that at slower speeds they are no fun b/c they handle way too well. They also dont crawl over stuff very well b/c (again) they are set up for racing. So this truck would be something different. I can see myself playing at the sand pit, the concrete plant, and running it threw a mud hole. I wouldnt dare go put my e-revo or the lst2 threw a mud hole(heck I wouldnt take them to the concrete plant either) So again its something different than the normal and I wouldnt mind(b/c its slower) letting my kids play with it too. (its scary giving a 6 year old the controls of a 50mph 14 pound E-lst2)

Ahhhhh! It's a linguistic tsunami!!!!!!! Pwnt.

[What's_nitro?]

It was self-defense.

tempted- imagine if we were to band together and use our powers for good instead of evil. We could surely rule some third world. Viva la revolucion!!

I do believe this is one of the most humorous comments I've seen given the previous altercations. True, though. A pair of individuals who bend words better than anyone working together. We should start a lawfirm.

[rhylsadar]

i am pretty confident that the summit will be a very nice truck that offers a whole lot of fun!

but since none of us has driven one..... its all speculation.

so lets wait and see.
