NEW GUY SAME HOBBY

[4x4x41]

HELLO EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS 4X4X41. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYBODY KNOWS ABOUT THE TRAXXAS SUMMIT. I HEARD IT WAS DISCONTINUED. I OWN ONE AND I NEED SOME NEW STOCK REPLACEMENT PARTS. I LIVE IN MOUNTAIN HOME , AR. I AM NOT MUCH ON ORDERING PARTS DUE TO THE FACT THAT I LIKE TO SUPPORT MY HOBBY SHOP. I DON'T LIVE NEAR ONE AND I AM AN OLD SCHOOL TYPE OF GUY WHO LIKES TO TOUCH AND FEEL PARTS FOR MY SUMMIT. IF I HAVE TO ORDER PARTS FOR MY SUMMIT THEN THAT IS WHAT I WILL DO. I NEED A NEW STOCK MOTOR , A NEW MINI FRONT DIFF LOCK SERVO AND SOME NEW NIMH BATTERIES , PREFERABLY 5000MAH. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. YES I STILL USE NIMH BATTS FOR MY TRUCK. THE BATTERIES SEEM TO WORK FOR MY USE AND THEY LAST A GOOD HOUR AND ABOUT 20 MINUTES ON A SINGLE CHARGE. I USE MY TRUCK MAINLY FOR TRAILS AND CRAWLING. BOUGHT THE TRUCK BACK IN 2011. LOVE IT. THANKS A LOT GUY'S.

Welcome to RCT

Yes, the Summit was discontinued a few years ago.
Ordering parts is likely your best option.

Welcome to tge site. You say mini diff like its a mini summit? Those are supposedly still being made.

As for the 1/10 erevo or summit those are gone. Ebay or traxxas will be your best bet for parts as thry dry up. Alot of hobby shops sell on the bay.

 

[Mrgoodwrench35]

Welcome aboard!! The parts you seek aren't really specific to the summit as motors, servos, and batteries are pretty much universal. I advise you not to seek factory traxxas parts as the aftermarket options are similar in price and superior in quality.

Mountain Home huh? I lived just outside M.H. on the other side of Norfork in a tiny town called Elizabeth. Worked in M.H. for 5 years or so. Long enough to know your hobby shop options are pretty limited without a road trip. I heard there was a little shop in Midway for a while but I dont think it lasted very long.

Id look at amainhobbies, horizinhobby, or as others mentioned, scamazon.

thanks for the feedback guy's. I can't believe Traxxas let the summit go. I thought the truck was one of there top sellers. I guess I better stock up on parts. I would send a pic of my truck but I am a noob when it comes to computers. that is awesome I found a neighbor , that is cool. I am new to this site and I am slowly trying to figure this out. so please bare with me guy's. too bad that you moved away we could've hooked up and enjoyed ourselves. thanks again guy's , I am going to explore the site more hoping that I don't press the wrong button on my new laptop and get kicked out LOL!!! thx again. peace.

one more thing , what do you guy's recommend for a scale crawler. I was thinking about the trx4 hi-lift from Traxxas. Ford , Chevy don't matter I like them all. what kind of electronics do you recommend? I will not treat the truck as a submarine. I drive my summit as though I am in the truck driving it. I don't touch my truck until the batteries start running low. is the trx4 easy to clean and wrench on? sorry for all the questions but I want real world comments. THANK YOU GUY'S ! ! ! PEACE.

Good luck in your search for parts

Is there anything wrong with your Summit currently?

I used to have one but sold it in 2020; they're amazing machines!

The TRX4 high trail is the next logical step from liking a Summit. And can handle any power system you put in it. The High Trail Sport is cheaper. But the scale branded bodies are cooler and the 2 speed and unlockable diffs are a bonus for bashing.

What kind of terrain are you going to

I have several versions of the trx4. The high trail is just that, a trail truck. All the other versions of the trx4 sit lower and are less 'tippy' on steep angles. The high trail does have a bit longer frame rail length and the bigger 2.2 tires and wheels. If you want something to rock climb, Id get a standard height version. Or my solution was one of each.

that is awesome I found a neighbor , too bad that you moved away we could've hooked up and enjoyed ourselves.

My inlaws currently reside there and we go down to visit a few times a year. There are some great places to play with crawlers in those parts since the landscape is mainly rock.

I own a black one. my summit just needs a motor and a front diff lock servo. maybe some new driveshafts also. my summit is all stock. maybe some new tires as well. once I get my summit up and running maybe we could hook up next time you are down here and go off-road LOL ! got any bashers? all I have is a stock 2wd slash. love it also. anyway thanks for the help! !
