RE: Traxxas Summit
So what is the summit LT? Just a summit with 2.2 tires on it? I saw a vid on utube of 1 and i like the way it looks. Not that im thinking of doing it to mine just curious.

RE: Traxxas Summit
Looks like he used slayer arms, turnbuckles, pushrods and axles to make the truck more narrow and shorten the wheel base a little, and the 2.2s of course. It does look a bit more scale I guess but all in all I think it looks silly. I'd rather just buy a scaler like a Wraith or SCX10 with the Honcho body than do that to my Summit. Not sure why he called it "LT" either.

RE: Traxxas Summit
Well I now have this one on the way.
It was just to much watching all those clips on the tube.
It's second hand , but in good shape. Barly used as he got bit by the heli bug. Wich I'm done with , hehe
I also got a Steel constant velocity driveshafts wich I picked up cheap from a guy with a 1/16 summit. He had ordered the wrong parts :-)
So feel free to chip in on must have upgrades. Thanks

RE: Traxxas Summit
Picked up my summit last night ( and some spare part's. Clutch axels a-arms spur ). For a second hand it looks really good. Tested with standar traxxas packs, then some 2s Lipos ( 30c) and today a short saw up and don the street with 5s lipo. For now it really don't need any more speed than what I get with the 4s lipo. Will try my 65-130c 2s lipo's soon to see if the high C gives it a bitt more boost.
I can see myself and my kids have many hours of fun with this one :-)

If you wouldn't mind me asking, did you buy that from a guy off of these forums?

Nope, I live in Norway, so I picked it up in Oslo, a short trip from where I live. It's the one on the pic's a few post's up in this tread. Looked good, and drove good. Really hauled on 5s lipo for a brushed car that heavy. Hoping to take it to the school yard just down the street today , It's made for the summit, with roots , dirt , sand a small skate park etc.
