[b@3]

It wasn't easy, there for my short answer.

[tyler13]

and should i get one? are they worth it i got a merv though

[LaTuFu]

Yes. No. Yes.

Tyler I am guessing you are 13. Do you live in the US? The Summit is an awsome truck. There is alot to learn, but all the info is here you just have to find it & understand it (search button). I still get stumped once in awhile..

[tyler13]

i live in alberta canada i am 14 is it realy hard to work on the summit?

[87 GN]

No not if you take your time & watch how it comes apart & keep track of the screws. I cheat & put (start) them back in the part they came out of. I am building a SumRevo & it takes a little more time to find screws & parts to get it together. Summit is a good truck to have.

[b@3]

Yes. No. Yes.

ok thank you does it god bright lights
and should i get one? are they worth it i got a merv though

God has the brightest lights. The lights on the summit are pretty bright too.

Wether or not you should get one is up to you. It really depends on what you want to do with it, this is something that you need to ask yourself. They are espensive trucks, in my opinion the summit is worth the price that you pay for it.


P.S. Grammer and spell checking go long way. It's easier for people understand the questions you are trying to ask.

they are awesome

[tyler13]

sorry about the grammar thanks for all the answers i think i will get one to use for off road cause i got a merv for onroad

[b@3]

You won't regret it if you do. I would suggest doing a lot of reading being you get one. Educate yourself its the best thing you can do. Start with the Summit FAQ at the top of the page, there is more than enough info in there to keep you busy for a couple days. The search function can be your best friend. The most common questions have probably already been answered. If you need help don't be afraid to ask.

Well Tyler, for what it's worth, my Son who is 13 saved up all his paper route money and bought a Summit a short time ago. We also live in Alberta and the Summit is really suited for our rugged environment. To keep this in simple terms.......

The lights are sick, four drive is so wicked you won't believe what it will climb. You can buy some cool tires for it like Mudslingers. But the best thing about the Summit for a 13 year old is that if you look after it well, you likely won't need to spend all your money on replacement parts.

You might need to get a parent to help you through some of the clean up and maintenance. There are two things I made sure my son did;

1. read the manual
2. Read the FAQ's on this forum

Good luck and let us know what you buy (white is the fastest color)

[87 GN]

+1 white is faster / not really they are all the same speed...



Tyler PM'ed you...

[b@3]

+1 white is faster / not really they are all the same speed...

Ahh..... really I was about to put my blue one up for sale to get a white one............good thing I didn't

[tyler13]

thank you all sooo much i greatly appreciate it if i get it i will not be doing speed runs or bashing just offroading so it should not break alot right??

[b@3]

If you don't do anything reckless while driving it you should be fine. They are very tough trucks.

[87 GN]

Ahh..... really I was about to put my blue one up for sale to get a white one............good thing I didn't

Didn't want to confuse the young man. can I get the faster white one?

Parts will break just part of the hobby. But good driving will help avoid breakage..

[jonathan.laurenson]

im 14 too :P

i live in alberta canada i am 14 is it realy hard to work on the summit?

[87 GN]

Is this a Canadina invasion?

[b@3]

Didn't want to confuse the young man. can I get the faster white one?I know just poking a little fun.

My fellow Canadians seem to be taking over.

They are relatively easy to work on. I am a new Summit owner and have not had any problems. The one thing you really don't want to do is run it hard and then just turn it off. My son and I have a ritual after each big run where we clean them up REALLY well and do the required maintenance. Like was mentioned, it's alot of money for an RC car. The good news it will last you for years and years. Here's the other good news......as long as you are running it or cleaning it, your not playing video games !!!!! It will teach you some responsibility. Now I am probably sounded like your Dad!!!

[jonathan.laurenson]

hey tyler how long have you been rcing?

[87 GN]

b@3 I know all good^ I like a good laugh. even if it is at my expense. Just trying not to confuse a newboobie..

[tyler13]

i got a pede in o7 then when the mini e revo came out got that. now my brother has an rc and 4 of my friends do to ! i think i got them hooked. i know they are fun to fix its just when it takes weeks for parts to come in is what i do not like!.

[87 GN]

Waiting on parts is a bummer. I have spares of what I think breaks the most. Then no waiting. You have other trucks in the mean time.

[jonathan.laurenson]

ya for me i started watching craigslist and eventually i got a good deal on 3 pede's. one of them i turned to parts and the other two i use them as loaner vehicles. i got all 3 for $150 and they all worked!!! but ya if you can get a good deal one another of the same vehicle you can use it as parts!

[tyler13]

i was thinking of that but there were no deals anywere close

and i try getting spares then other parts break and they are not in stock at the LHS.

[87 GN]

Just part of the hobby.......

[tyler13]

ya i know!

[jonathan.laurenson]

every now and then you will see the odd roller on ebay, craigslist, etc... on craigslist you can even look on the yard sale ones! thats how i got my two pedes for a low price!

[tyler13]

one more question can you use 7.2 volt nimh battery on it i got a few from my pede to use??

[b@3]

Yes you can use two 6-cell batteries, it will be slower though. Make sure you use the mah ratings.

[tyler13]

ok thank you
