There are some things I would like to do with a basher that I haven't... That is where the Summit comes in. Climbing stairs? Climbing over a fallen log? Locking and unlocking diffs? Turning a bunch of LEDs on at dusk? I agree the versatility is what sets it apart, though I am wondering if this truck has any place in the rising ranks of rock crawling throughout the country. The thing has mega articulation, locked diffs, and a reasonably low COG. I don't think a crawler needs solid axles to be a crawler...

I have been reading other forums to see what true rock crawlers are saying... Not much yet.
