Summit 1/16th scale

[Cannaert]

I just got one. Dont need it but it was one of them things that just made my day better. I talk to the the guy at the hobby shop for over an hour about it VS the eRevo. Said this just as good and is better for off road use and can be turn in to a Revo for about 30 bucks.

Hope to get it up and going here soon so I can see how well it really is.

do you mean a summit? if so i think they are sweet and i really want one

[Cannaert]

Fixed that.
Yea they are cool. Got to mess with on a wile ago and was just stuck on with one to get. 
I wanted the Yellow one but Traxxas no longer sells it so I got it in White.  Not a fan of Red or Blue ones.

sweet is it brushless? are you going to mud bog it?

Pics...?

[Cannaert]

No The Brushless was over 300 bucks and I didnt have that much cash to spend on it. I need my money for my truck box so I didnt go with that one.
It already has a 12 turn motor in it Just needs some better batterys and it will be good to go.

As for Pics I will snap some tomorrow.

how is it?

[Cannaert]

Freaking fun as hell.
If you run it on Grass it is hard to keep the front tire on the ground.  You can barely pull the throttle back and it will stand on the ass end. If our gravel or dirt its not bad at all.  It will roll over if you turn to quickly on any surface and going forward at the same time.  It is a good 4wd Truck.
My only byTch about it is that the Battery life sucks ass.

The small 6 cell that come in it only lasts about a 15 to 20 min if your lucky I have been get 10 min runs. I Stopped in the Hobby shop to get a second battery to run it in either PARALLEL or SERIES. So you can have it either Haul ass or Last longer for play time.
Only thing that sucks is they say you can burn the damn thing up if you do not use the right battery in it. So I am going to stick with a 2nd Stock one and see how it works out.

But Over all I would giver a 8 out of 10.  Like it b/c its A tad smaller then my 1/10th scales and it can be run in the house if wanted to. The Water proofing is much better than the other models. Plus the Parts for the 1/16th eRevo and 4WD Slash are all interchangeable.

Just got the Parallel Batter plug for it today.  Been waiting a few weeks for it to show up. Tired of only having 10 min of fun. Should be 20 now.

sweet im thinking about getting one of these this summer

[Cannaert]

I can not keep it on all Four wheels if its in the grass or on a hard patch of dirt. 
It will do wheel stands all day long on hard ground. Not to mention it throws stones in gravel pretty darn far. I hit my Dad with on and he was 50 feet away from my Son and I.

nice how does it do crawling?

[Cannaert]

Once I got used to the trigger and how it drives it does well. But With a 12 turn motor in it, it can be to much for crawling. But if you were to drop a 25 turn in it I think it would well.

[Cannaert]

Well I tried to jump it and ended up hitting a cinder block that was next to the jump. Broke the following. One Upper control armand a semi break in lower, inner D-shaft, Front diff housing, and some of the steering linkage. Drop 50 bucks into it with the now Red RPM front and rear A-Arm kits, along with the Dual Steering Servo Kit and the other need parts for fixing it.  Took 3 hours to swap it all out and get the new stuff on it.  Damn thing is so compact its a huge byTch to work on.

I have the brushless one. 2 batties ran in series. Box says 40+.
It to fast cant keep it on all for. Silicone def. for better crawling.
