Summit - when the ponds freeze

[Jesse J]

Here is my Summit I picked up from Alvin's friend - great deal by the way.

I have only changed the body so far, and lowered the front bumper to accommodate. I will get some vids of her drifting in our balmy subzero weather.

I got friends wanting one just by seeing how it dominates the snow.

There was a glitch in the shifting, but it was just a servo arm adjustment resolution, now it shifts perfectly. Trying to resist the temptation to go brushless... have an 11XL and mamba monster twitching to be subbed in.

Looking forward to some video. I've been wanting a Summitt for a while but couldn't bring myself to spend that much on one. I know Pat would like that Mamba Monster for his E-Revo if you keep it brushed.

Jesse, Just got one today. Have only ran it once. Its pretty sweet! Got 1 question. When yours is at a stop and you turn left or right does it twitch like a servo saver is making it not want to turn or something. It works fine when moving. I was thinking the tires are too big for the servos.

Your servos may need to be centered
the servos have more than enough power to move those big tires..

[Brushless55]

It is something to see!
I call it my snow blower... 10' rooster tail of pure white snow

Well i think both servos are out. i pulled one out today and the gears are stripped, the other one has problems too.

Reminds me of my mini Revo:



Traxxas stuff is great for bashing, not so much for racing LOL.

Is there a simple led system thats premade to allow me to use a 3rd channel to turn the leds on and off?
