IMO the Summit is just a rock crawling capable E-Revo. I dont see it as a real crawler. I see a real crawler as a vehicle with tubular (or similar) chassis set-up and solid axle suspension (not independent).



I do LOVE the locking diffs though, VERY cool!
I guess depending on how you read between the lines, to me they aren't marketing it as a full tilt crawler. They seem to be more pushing the line of dual purpose. Not a bad marketing strategy if you ask me. On the other hand, the revo suspension is arguably the best out there. It would be to their advantage to sell the crap out of it for the time that they hold exclusive rights to that patent.


Losi 8T 1.0, Savage Flux - XL style, LST XXL, Muggy, 3.3 E-Revo Conversion and sitting outside 425hp, 831 Tq Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel. It SMOKES
