Sure, I had a 600+hp twin turbo SBC in a lifted truck on 35s and no problems from the Detroits, but we are talking scale here. Imagine if your truck accelerated as fast as some of these MTs do. If you scale the speeds, acceleration and weight up to 1:1 they would obliterate our real trucks. That said, could our real diffs and driveline handle that kind of torture? The simple and correct answer is no. I don't believe these drivelines(Summit) will handle any more power than they already have, meaning brushless is out of the question. And I will bet that that two speed isn't going to hold up even to the 775 motor. The gearing is just too low. Unless its a metal geared tranny, I think they will fail. This truck as a whole is a failure on Traxxas' part, but with some real crawler upgrades could become a worthy truck.


The answer is no. And yes, mine is faster.
