have you not seen the vidoe from traxxas? they show it doing a backflip while moving on flat ground

Possibly, and then again maybe not being as I'm guessing the mini-Summit wheels and tires will be larger and heavier and thus making it harder to accomplish. But, since it's not out yet and nobody's seen it run, it's all just speculation anyway and doesn't really matter.

Your initial comment to me had "nothing to do with the current conversation."
Why not check back in when you can add something relevant.

Otherwise please stop being so argumentative.

with every one bickering over the diferent styles traxxas is coming out with on the same 1/16 platform i thank u may be missing the good point of all this the more the company does with it the more the aftermarkit will doo with it . people with each setup will modify in ther own intrest  giving more posiblitys to you to modify your own cars .the offroaders/rockcrawlers will push for locking difs and stronger drivetrans .the car people will pish for lighter chasies and faster moters. the sc truck drivers will push the suspinshion and handiling .all together helping all of you bild what you like best  from your own trucks.

traxxas is switching to the titan 12t 550 motor for their brushed editions! skip right to 3:50 to see the brushed rally vxl, they will most likely do this for the summit too now that they did it for the rally

Sorry, I misread. I have heard the Mini Summit to be out possibly by Xmas, if not around the first of the year.

The Summit and Revo share all the same parts except for the following: wheels/tires, front/rear bumpers, front/rear body mounts and body.

Just like I said in my previous post.

If you are running the revo body you might have to trim it so the tires don't rub.

I like it, my son beats the mini e revo hard, and he doesn't flip it that much, we now have 2 full size summits, so i'd buy a little one to play with him and his little revo.
