    Exclamation wow

    i dont even like or have any interest in the rock crawler scene, but the summit makes me want it. thing is sweet

    The LEDS=great
    T lock system=very well designed from what i can see they even got controller options for gearing
    rims and tires= very nice im sure people will want to buy those for other cars
    Body=also sweet, wondering what chassis looks like ehehe.

    All in all i think traxxas pulled out a couple extra stops this time before release a product, saving people some upgrades(leds etc.)

    Plus im first one to post hehe

    dude that revo is crazy i checked that out 2nd. looks fun. 2200kv? is that stronger than a 5500kv that they got.

    nvm i take that back, the 2200 runs 6s so yea thing is a beast. the 2200 system sells for like 350$ alone. and the revo prob adds on just as much so expect like a 600-700$ car Probably in the 700s due to the fact it comes with that new 2.4ghz controller.

    yeah, that BL E revo is NOT going to be cheap..like you said, that monster max system costs as much as most RTRs that traxxas offers in the first place..heheh...but it is bad lookin' for sure!

    the summit looks very cool though...switch on the fly from rock crawling gear ration to general off roading gearing? THAT is cool...

    That has to be the best truck since the slash. I mean I never wanted a crawler because there too slow but with high spped abilitys this thing is awesome. I can see one of those on my workbench in the near future! (7th post!)

    ditto..rock crawling doesn't do much for me...but the option to kick it into high gear makes this seem very cool

    if we could only get a brushless emaxx....I'd save my pennies for that too

    I like the crawling more and more. The cool thing is for as slow as you drive, there is just as much "skill" involved as going fast, and there is also plenty of "trash" talking too

    It is cool... I wonder what kind of runtime you could expect in "high range", and how fast would it be....

    so, over or under $300? With all that remote switching, the two speed tranny, the enhanced electronics..I'm guessing over $300

    I like the Summit too, I bet they will cost aroung $600 mark. I just got an E-Reov so the summit will have to wait till next year.

    and summit

    Thinking of what it has, and how much it would cost to make a crawler of that status..its actually a good price..you would spend the same if not more with a crawler with those features

    High price or not..it will crush the compition(or at least be up there.lol)
