Default E-revo and Summit: Differences?

So i was recently looking at pictures of the summit and it had a striking resemblance to the E-revo!
I know that the Summit has the locking diffs. but is there much else?
Could i just go and pick up a summit body and the body mounts and call it a summit?

Tires, body, gearing, lights, the summit uses one large motor, instead of two.
The e-revo is faster.
Go to the traxxas web-site to find out more.

Thanks for the quick response!
I know the lights, and motors are different, but could i put the same tires and body on?
I guess what i'm trying to ask is if the dimensions are the same.

The E-Revo and Summit use the same basic chassis. The key differences are the locking diffs, high/low selectable transmission, and body styling.

+1; I just saw the the summit for the first time in person today at one of the lhs in this this area, and indeed it is a pretty good size. but as far as the differences, yes, the summit has one large motor like kill-roy mentioned, also it has different tires and wheels, etc....

Could i swap any of the summit parts onto my E-revo?
Maybe the wheels or the body?
What could be swapped?

While the revo has awesome suspension, but when it comes to crawling, good old straight axles are the way to go.

The summit has traxxas 17mm wheel hexes, which are compatible with ordinary 17mm wheels or the traxxas 17mm wheels with notches.
But this is a trivial upgrade for the E-Revo, as long as you change it over to 17mm hexes, you can run the wheels.
Otherwise, everything is interchangeable, except for the other stuff already mentioned above.

The summit's rear A-arms might be different too, maybe angled toward the back? One way to see for certain is just to go the the traxxas website and compare from the parts explosion graphics.
