has anyone tried to put a brushless in a summit yet? and if you did how did it effect the crwling aspect of the truck? what brushless did you use, what batteries and what top speed are you getting?

Well from what i hear is that with the stock motor and drivetrain there breaking the t lock diffs so i would not go all out on brushless just yet tell they make stonger diffs of just get the equal amount of motor just it brushless

doesn't novak mae a brushless system for crawling? i think the idea is the efficiency rather than brutal speed and diff crunching torque.

yep i found it

If they had a waterproof super-class goat I might try that, I really like the control of the goat, but the standard goat I fear the motor is too small and not waterproof.

that novak could be pretty cool. i am not into crawling a whole lot but i like the concept of the summit being both. i have talked to 2 different hobby stores about brushless. one says that if you go brushless you lose torqe on crawling, but, the other said his friend put in a brushless and he gets about 45 mph and better torque when crawling. so i am wondering if anyone else has done it and how it effects the truck. i aslo heard about the t lock problem but i would think that if your going brushless then you would be very careful how and when you use the t locks.

1: the t-lock is breaking because of driver error, you have to be at a stop to engage and then go real slow until they engage
2:the first batch of summits has faulty t-locks and i think traxxas has fixed that problem

I just dropped a castle mamba monster into my summit. This is now a whole different truck. In it's low gear, it handles well. But in high gear IT's a rocket almost doubling in speed.

how you dropped CCMM (Maba Monster) to Summit,would you like to show us with a video?

if you put a regular (non-crawler) esc in it you will loose almost all crawling ability, and defeat the purpose of the truck

poeple use brushless motors in crawlers all the time .
the t lock I would think would be the weak link.
