1/16 Summit Insanity.

A 3s brushless mini summit with minimal non-electronic upgrades. (diffs hate em'!)

General RC Information

I wanted to see how far the 1/16 summit chassis could be pushed, and boy, did I find out!
This mini monster boasts a 100A esc from GoolRC, a 4770kv brushless motor from GoolRC, the Traxxas upgraded metal gear servo for the summit, and a 3s battery system. Altogether, topping at 70mph and backflipping on hard launches!

Here's a montage of it running:
