The Summit is a much better truck than Farht makes it out to be. A 5 minute first impression is cool, but long term ownership and use is usually a much better gauge.

In my opinion, Traxxas finally got a RTR truck right. Yes, it has weak servos out of the box, no question about it. But then again, please find me a stock RTR servo on any kit that people on RCU won't complain about.

Other than that, for what it is designed to do, it's a great truck, and doesn't really need much in the way of mods out of the box.

It is not fast, no two ways about it. 20 mph downhill, with a tailwind, on a good day. But it is a lot of fun for what it is designed to do: go just about anywhere, climb just about anything.

It's definitely not a pure crawler, but it wasn't meant to be.

I use it most often as a trail truck. I grab the kids, a few battery packs, and we go for a hike, trying to find places to crawl around with it. We have a blast doing that. It's a great change of pace from the bashing and jumping we do with our other trucks.
