It's sad its just a Revo, it's not a crawler its a basher.
A 70:1 gear ratio and fully locked axles defines it as a crawler. 25:1 gears and unlocked axles defines it as a basher.
I think its safe to say its both
And its lack of solid axles guarantees it to be a basher. Sorry it just won't work nearly as good asa Super class Clod. Never. It dies in the super class because of its lack of rear steering.
I would be willing to bet a large helping of $ that it could not outcrawl my Berg 2.2, which any super should be able to do.
The part where you and I see things differently is that you are comparing it to a competition crawler, which it obviously is not. Traxxas isnt going to limit their target audience with a comp vehicle; The Summit is marketed towards bashing/crawling.
Comparing this truck to a super class clodbuster or your Berg 2.2 is not a valid comparison, they are all different vehicles. This seems to happen alot w/ traxxas, people talk bad about the Slash with comments like "The Slash sucks, my CEN Matrix will kill it on the track" when in reality, they are not even in the same class, with the exception that they are both trucks.
take a good look at the Summit. With its lights, independent suspension, 70:1 and 25:1 transmission, and exo-skeleton body, you can pretty much gather it's not made to compete but rather designed for the guy or kid wanting a crawler that can go fast as well... but maybe they will start a spec class for it.

Well said...Thats why i want one.So i can bash then when i feel like it i can lower the gear ratio and lock the diffs and do some off-roading/crawling.....
