thought you liked the summit
I do- a lot. It's just that the drivetrain is already starting to show it's weak points, really the whole reason why I'm selling it. A buddy has a brushless Summit and has broken multiple driveshafts and several diffs (they only use 2 spider gears instead of 4). All of that looked like a huge pain and like no fun, so I put it up for sale a couple of places for $550, lipos included. I calculated it and it would be over $1000 to build a truck like this with everything brand new, so I should get what I'm asking.
guessing that is why its sold brushed

brushless + big tires = lots of stress on drivechain
Lol, yes you're right. It's just frustrating that Traxxas doesn't upgrade the diffs to be heavy duty in modern standards (not 1990's) and keeps those stupid plastic axles. Come on Traxxas...
