Status: offline 		I get to do mine too but I have to find out what's wrong with it. After I put my front end back one the other day I went n drove it everything was good to go and the all of a sudden the truck just stopped and when I hit the throttle it makes this terrible grinding noise. If I hold the throttle lightly the truck will move but if I give it anymore it just makes that noise. I'm waiting till I get paid to rip into it. If anyone knows whats wrong please let me know.

Status: offline 		That's a decent plane beast but the only down fall is that when you get comfortable flying it and want to begin more acrobatic maneuvers such as barrel rolls and loops the planes ACT (anti crash technologies) will fight you the entire way and make it near impossable to do this. Which flying the plane you will pick up rather quickly its the landing part you will need to figure out lol. The piper cub style plane is a great choice for a beginning pilot I honestly would keep looking around and reading reviews and forums on beginner air crafts. I'm guessing your new to planes judging the plane you found. There are a lot of very knowledgable people here on RCU. Most of them will tell you to buy a sim but those get speedy especially if you end up hating flying. I will look tonight a bit and pm you a couple good ideas as to where I would start.

See....it does flips and it doesnt show it in this vid but B rolls also.

Status: offline 		I figured out what had happend the bearing in the spur gear blew up. I replaced it and not 15 min into my next run the two bearing at the rear driveline went. Does anyone know of better more sealed bearings then the stock ones I'm willing to pay more for them if I have to as its always wet here I don't want to have the open this thing up for bearings every time I take her out.

Status: offline 		Does anyone have a link to where you guys are buying the DEWALT motor? What else is needed to get it together and running and what kind of performance should I expect to pick up? Thanks for the help.

I did some creek bashing at Castlewood State Park Last week with the Go Pro Hero 2, I'll get a video put together and post it up soon.

I got it with the 18t pinion and it goes around 30mph now. Which is a perfect speed for the summit imo. Lot more torque. 5 Star rating from me!

Did you purchase their summit center dog bone kit as well? Any feedback on that?

Anyone done the duel motor swap? How much faster is it than the single?

Or is a single just as good etc?

Status: offline 		I got those turnigy 7600 you have they seen to be the best bang for the buck. And yeah I've been using the stockers they seem to be losing their capacity some and I'd love to have longer run times since the day I pulled it out of the box lol. 

So I was just reading about kershaw and there's A LOT of negative feed back for them from people around the world. Most of the posts I read where more then a year old so maybe they have tightened up since then I hope. Have any of you guys here had an issue your willing to share?

Status: offline 		A lot of the people that where having issues with Dan at kershaw where getting special orders and some of them sounded like they were flat out rude to him via the constant emails and calls. I wouldn't want to help them either. I also noticed that there where a lot of complaints from people not in the US I don't think I have anything to worry about. I can't wait to hook my summit up lol. I think I went over board :-/
