    has anyone found a terrain the summit can't conquer?

    ive ran my summit in 4in deep snow it ran around like it was on flat land, ive tried steep banks it charged up the banks, i had to retrieve the summit one time i run mine at the beach and found some real soft sand and the tires spun down in the sand and that is it, it climbed a 6 foot mound of sand at the beach, i have a buddy who has a 5 acre farm it tore through the columbine ruts and amazed his whole family the summit was literally about 70 degrees up and down crawling through the ruts with the differential locked, in my area i just haven't found a terrain the summit isn't at home with and the reverse surprises the heck out of me the way it pops out if you do get stopped from moving forward tap reverse and the summit just pops right out ready to try it again, i will get pictures of the summit in the columbine ruts they are deep and narrow the summit owned them and asked for more and just for kicks i ran through them forward then reverse and my buddy was in shock and awe he claimed at work he had terrain that could stop it when i got to his house and ran through the ruts in low gear he claimed to all my co-workers it's unstoppable

    I got a little far into a creek once and it was completely submerged All you could see was the antenna above water. It was still moving along, just really slow so I decided to rescue it by hand.

    Summit's are pretty killer, almost unstoppable. One of those will likely be my next purchase.

    One question though, what's a "Columbine rut"? Did you mean "Combine rut"?

    I just allow my Summit to swim when the water gets too deep. Just turn the wheels, hit the throttle, and watch her go. It is awesome especially coming out of deep water into the shallows.

    I haven't found anywhere this thing can't go. I took it to my dad's jobsite in Louisiana and had so much fun with it! I went through 4 inch deep MUD!!! and it never quit. I had to wash it really well before I could even think about putting it in my dad's truck to go home. I love mine.

    Great pics. Next time you post pics, you need to arranged them like this:

    Pic 1
    Pic 2
    Pic 3

    Rather than :

    Pic1, Pic2, Pic3,

    That way we don't have to side scroll.
    Nice pics all the same. Love the one at the beach. Post 14, pic 3.

    I'm lucky they made this truck,I've got literally years worth of this kind of terrain to explore.these pic are from a park in town.This one park has so much to do it's crazy.Single track climbs,rock,mini rivers and waterfalls, when it rains wich it does a fair bit.This truck was built for for this island.Yes i live on a island.It's a big one though

    Living room stairs though I think if I just give the rear some more lift it just may be able to.
