- 1080p HD for SuMMiT GLORY! The Traxxas Summit is one of my all time favourite vehicles, and I figured it was about time I did a video that was showcasing the versatility of this machine. So many folks have asked me to build an "amphibious" vehicle.. but truth be told, the Summit is already just that. From Water to land, Mud, Rocks, Slow, Fast, Crawl or Bash. It's your choice. Everything is stock on this truck accept for the JP Concepts Short Course Truck Body, and some RC4WD Micky Thompson Baja Claw Tires. I am running dual GensAce 5000mah 2S lipos that give me about 30 minutes of run time. I did build a Splash Guard for my Summit, simply to keep the majority of Mud out of the chassis. It is made of thick plastic that is velcro-ed to my chassis.
I chose Not to include music in this video. no stickers, no "endorsements' just plain ol' RC fun.. :)
The Traxxas Summit comes "water-resistant" out of the box, and I did Not have to do any mods to it to run in this video. The cost of a Summit (at the time of this video posting) is about $650 depending on where you go. To answer some other commonly asked questions about this truck - here are some specs about the summit from the Traxxas website.
TQi 2.4GHz 4-Channel transmitter and 5-channel receiver
Includes two Power Cell 5000mAh 2-Cell LiPo battery packs
Includes two LiPo Balance Chargers
Innovative T-Lock™ remote locking differentials let you select front and rear locked diffs, front locked diff, or full open differentials via the transmitter
Transmitter-operated High-Low transmission switches from a 70:1 first gear ratio for climbing torque to a 25:1 second gear ratio for trail speed
10-LED lighting system opens the door to night-driving fun
ExoCage™ body adds real-rock-rig style and functional protection
New 3.8" Geode™ wheels with beadlock-style sidewall protectors mount securely to aluminum 17mm hex hubs
Unprecedented Versatility With T-Lock differentials and High-Low Transmission
Only Summit™ gives you the ability to lock the differentials and shift from low to high gear right from the transmitter. No need to break from the action to swap gears or install locking parts. Tear up the trail in "high range" with a 25:1 ratio for dirt-slinging speed. When the terrain turns technical, drop it into "low range" for a 70:1 ratio and unreal climbing torque. For the ultimate in climbing traction, flip the T-Lock switch to lock the front differential. Need even more grip? Activate the rear T-Lock diff for fully-loaded 4WD power no matter which tire is gripping or slipping.
