Insanity: the summit

[Antlers]

I just happen to have all the parts to go brushless 3s on my Summit. How long do y'all think before someting pops?
Edit: its a 1/16 summit dont kill me

Depends how you drive it. You should stock up. It appears its discontinued and parts are drying up.

This is just my 2 Canadian cents which is worth like 1/4 American cent..

The Summit was always designed to be brushed, brushless just murders the diff locking features.
If you want that chassis with brute brushless force that's where the eRevo comes in.

Honestly though, a working Summit will eventually become a collectors piece.
I paid roughly 600 for mine around 2013-2014 and sold it for almost the same price just a few years ago.

Edit - Stoops. I didn't notice it was in the Micro section.

I used to think everything needed to be at least 1 or 2s higher than it was designed for. Build it to the limits, push everything as hard as possible...
I think differently now. I think there is nothing wrong with building a car to do as it was intended.

I think it won't last too long if it gets overpowered.

I think if you want to overpower something, pick a truck with good, current parts support.

It's a 1/16 summit, don't worry about parts or resale

Only one of us here can answer that.

Make sure your diffs are shimmed and go 3s. 2s was boring. 3s with a castle big block and in rwd it would boogie.

The build is done, the diffs are intact (somehow), and the video is posted. Here's the link:

After filming, I did some speed runs on 3s and got a breakneck 70mph! The stock gearing is great for top speed, I guess.

I think the Summit is one of the coolest looking rigs out there.
