This truck will be miserably boring to drive anywhere with any flat ground. It shouldn't crawl over rocks any better than a spooled Maxx truck with the same size tires. As for the 775 motor, how do you know they make more power than 2 Titans? I haven't seen any specs on them. You gear a Maxx down to 20mph in second gear and you have a truck with insane torque. And I don't know if you guys really get how slow 20mph is in one of these trucks. It is slower than most dogs running speeds. And the drivelines are still too steep of an angle. The will break under much power or tire binding. This truck will not be brushless capable.
5 servos...... 5 servos????? 5 servos!!!!! That truck is a nightmare to repair having to remove and re-set that many servos. How hard is it to just get 2 E-Maxx steering servos synced up? And how "strong" are those gears? We break those servos in STAMPEDES, they are going to fail miserably off road under any light crawling. You guys be the test rats, and if I'm wrong I will say it but I am willing to bet that as soon as these hit the streets we get complaints rolling in.

Tempted- you are a hater of the worst kind! An imaginary hater, living in a pretend world where your assumptions about the summit are reality. You really show your youth and ignorance when talking with such conviction about something that doesn't exist yet. Now on to your rants: Bashing at 20mph may be boring to you, but there is all kinds of bashing and all kinds of people. It will crawl much better than a spooled maxx truck, thanks to it's low gearing, high torque motor, and phenomenal articulation of the revo suspension. (ever gauge RTI, or ramp travel index, the good crawlers have, articulation helps) And have you watched the summit videos? It crawls quite well. Maybe you haven't seen specs on a 775 motor, but many of us have seen specs on almost every motor we can find. It's not a "traxxas" motor with hidden specs, it's a 775 sized motor with easy to find specs with a "traxxas" sticker on it, and according to how many watts of power produced, one 775 has more torque than two 550's. I don't know if you know how fast 20mph is. Not many dogs can run 20mph. A man walking is 3-4 mph, 7 mph is a slight jog. 20mph in a small yard is petty fast. Most racers are geared below 40, and bashing in a yard they get nowhere near top speed. You might want to get a radar gun andsee some actual speeds and familiarize yourself with them before talking or writing to forums, you really make yourself sound foolish. Nobody knows about the diffs, but the rest of the truck is brushless capable, as proven in the e-revo. 5 servos. Cool! Since 3 of the 5 are for shifting they won't see any load and won't break. The steering servfos are the new metal geared digital servos, so those won't break. You have a hard time synching two e-maxx servos? That's day one stuff, if that's too hard for you, you may want to get out of r/c and check out the forums at
