RE: Traxxas Summit
 

I'm going to order the dewalt as soon as I get paid.. Will this servo work as a good single servo it's spendy but adds up to the same as the two hitecs with more torque and a little bit smaller the the hitecs as well. And it looks like it will bolt right on.

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

What servo?

Well this is the <span style="text-align: left; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Dimensions(mm):  40.3x20.2x37.2 of that servo and this is the 1s in mine...</span><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="mod_table"><tr><td class="mod_field"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Size in Millimeters:</span></td><td class="mod_content"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">41.8 x 21.0 x 40.0</span></td></tr></table> So it will be close but yeah it should fit fine.

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

Wow!!! I just spent an hour putting the whole front end back on after replacing all the bearings in my front diff. While I was setting up the tlock servo for the front I noticed it was locked and wouldnt unlock!!! SOB now Ive got to tear it all back down and do it over!!! Good times:D

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

I get to do mine too but I have to find out what's wrong with it. After I put my front end back one the other day I went n drove it everything was good to go and the all of a sudden the truck just stopped and when I hit the throttle it makes this terrible grinding noise. If I hold the throttle lightly the truck will move but if I give it anymore it just makes that noise. I'm waiting till I get paid to rip into it. If anyone knows whats wrong please let me know.

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

Its either a stipped gear or blown bearing. Altho u shouldnt have any blown bearings being that its only what 2-3 weeks old.

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

Yeah it's almost three weeks old. I'm hoping its something I planned on replacing regardless like the drive shaft or something.

RE: Traxxas Summit

I know this isnt summit related but do any of u guys fly planes?

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">That's a decent plane beast but the only down fall is that when you get comfortable flying it and want to begin more acrobatic maneuvers such as barrel rolls and loops the planes ACT (anti crash technologies) will fight you the entire way and make it near impossable to do this. Which flying the plane you will pick up rather quickly its the landing part you will need to figure out lol. The piper cub style plane is a great choice for a beginning pilot I honestly would keep looking around and reading reviews and forums on beginner air crafts. I'm guessing your new to planes judging the plane you found. There are a lot of very knowledgable people here on RCU. Most of them will tell you to buy a sim but those get speedy especially if you end up hating flying. I will look tonight a bit and pm you a couple good ideas as to where I would start. </span>

You can turn the ACT off with the flip of a switch tho:)<div>

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

I figured out what had happend the bearing in the spur gear blew up. I replaced it and not 15 min into my next run the two bearing at the rear driveline went. Does anyone know of better more sealed bearings then the stock ones I'm willing to pay more for them if I have to as its always wet here I don't want to have the open this thing up for bearings every time I take her out.

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

Does anyone have a link to where you guys are buying the DEWALT motor? What else is needed to get it together and running and what kind of performance should I expect to pick up? Thanks for the help.

I did some creek bashing at Castlewood State Park Last week with the Go Pro Hero 2, I'll get a video put together and post it up soon.

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

Well that link didnt work but its kershawdesigns.com

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

Thanks man! You are running 2S lipo's as well and get 30 mph? This motor is good for dunking in some water as well right? I like to creek bash lately lol.

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

What do you have the 820 or 700HO motor?

Did you purchase their summit center dog bone kit as well? Any feedback on that?

Anyone done the duel motor swap? How much faster is it than the single?

Or is a single just as good etc?

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

I have the 820. Yes it is still waterproof. Yes I run 2s lipos. I didnt get there center shaft kit I had the traxxas steel 1. And nave acer makes really good bearings but ure gonna pay for them.

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

What is the part number for the hitec servos that will fit in the summit

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

Will these fit in the battery trays? If not what batteries that are 7500 mah or more will im having trouble finding some that will. Id like to get some at fair price. <span style="font-family: '.HelveticaNeueUI'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; white-space: nowrap; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">http://www.rcplanet.com/Venom_LiPo_2...p/vnr15010.htm  </span>

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

No so far havent had any problems.

RE: Traxxas Summit
 

Well I did it... New batts and a dewalt on the way. I think I'm going to try to do the mod to mount the new motor to the stock mount.
