 All said and done I love the stock summit body with the roll cage and all, it's hands down the best traxxas body there is.


Me too.  I think it's hands down the most durable basher shell I've ever seen.  I haven't even bothered trying to fit another body to mine because of how much abuse it will take.

If anything, I have thought about running it on my Revo from time to time.

I am going to draw up a conversion body mounts for use with any 3.3 revo body. My neighbor has the F-250 super duty proline 3.3 body on his and it is sweet. The truck bodies look very nice on the summit, but you lose the advantage (and cool factor) of the exo roll cage.
Have a good one,
Jay

What bodies to you have in mind? The Stampede is considered 1/10 scale but I'm sure a Stampede body won't even come close to fitting. Why Traxxas does not sell the revo and summit as 1/8 scale is beyond me.

Status: offline 		Nice pics, that is one muddy summit. What is the servo doing? Is it making a clicking noise or is it completely dead? Might be best just to replace it either way and keep it in case you can use the gears from it or something.

Status: offline 		They have a 30 day replacement warranty on electronics and they might help you out if it's not long past that but I'm not sure about anything else, worth giving them a call to find out. I was really hoping the smaller version of the hitec waterproof servo would fit but I just checked it out and it looks to be a little bit too big.

And/or grab a new micro servo on Ebay.  last time I bought one I think I paid $10 for it.

Status: offline 		You might try plugging the suspect servo into a reciever channel that you know a servo is working on. Steering, diff lock etc. If the servo works then you know you need to dry your rx (if moist) or you will know for sure the servo is toasted. Once in a while they can fool you. I've replaced servos, plugged them into something else later and they work.
lol you put that truck through it's paces. You might not want to put the tires in the sink this time (she would know).
Thanks for the muddin pics, looks like it was getting heavy.
