The thing is Traxxas has always had a low speed, all-terrain truck. Its the E-Maxx. You can gear down in 1st gear and have all the low end torque you need. The Revo suspension isn't going to help this truck. This truck obviously isn't intended to handle well and that is where the Revo's suspension works best. The Revo isn't going to share anything but the suspension design, the trucks are completely different. The diffs, driveshafts, bulks, arms, turnbuckles and pretty much everything else are all different. I don't buy the "have spare parts from my Revo" argument that many are holding. We could always throw a spool in our Maxx trucks and have the same traction. And it would work just the same as the lockers in the Summit. Honestly, how much time is going to be spent on the road in the Summit? A dismal top speed of less than 20mph in stock trim is going to be flat out boring on the road. So if all your doing is off road, slow driving then a spooled out Maxx will work just as well, maybe better because of the taller second gear. The truck just doesn't make sense to me.


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