I just finished paying on my Pre-Order for my Traxxas Summit:D I can't wait till this thing arrives, it sounds to be the best all around basher. First mod Mamba Monster Brushless system:cool: I will post real pics and video when it gets here.

Cable,


I am an inquisitive idiots why would you buy the Summit?


Don't get me wrong I think it's a great truck and Traxxas caught everyone by supprise by advertising a new truck and presented us a REVO remix with locking diffs and lights; (gotta love these guy's).


My point is 1/5th scale is all you need brother! LOL!


Hurry up and get it so you can post pic for us to check it out.

ROFLMO!!!!!!!! Beleive me I can't wait, it is due to arrive this friday if all goes well. And BTW I absolutely adore my 1/5's especially after this last weekend when we spent almost 2 hours tuning our 8ight T's in, then to go over to the Redcat and give one good pull on the cord and away she goes. I just wanted another good basher rig that can go anywhere.

Amazingly the top speed is around 30 MPH it will absolutely beat the pants of the redcat off the line and almost in top speed, and it jumps like a DREAM!! I have already made two pond runs with it and a mud bog and it was nice to just take the old pressure washer to it for clean up :D

The Savage Flux and the Summit are really to far apart to compare, The Savage is Brushless (which mean gobs more power), more money ($480 vs $610) smaller wheelbase and tire (4.3" to 7.0"tire) no electric lockers, no dual range transmission, and lastly and what makes the summit so much fun it's not WATER PROOF :D I have already run my Summit through the pond numerous times without fail. If you do that once with a brushless it's toast. I love the fact that I can go play wet/dry and pressure wash my rig when I'm done and hit it with WD-40 and bring it in the house all clean. But beleive me I will have another brushless rig soon and it will be between the Revo and the Savage.
