    Really wanting a New Summit (BAD)

    Something about watching video of the Summit has me drooling for one. I have a revo 3.3 5309 which is cool but i'm gettin tired of nitro, it's my only one so it won't be to hard to let go of the tuning and stuff that come along with it...and i cant afford the summit outright but with a little creative thinking and gettin rid of the revo MAYBE this could happen

    Sell it... you won't regret it.
    I used to get bored running my nitro Revo... 1-2 tanks and I was ready to put it away.

    I actually get disappointed when my batteries run out after 2 hours with the Summit.
    Whatever it is I just said... I could be wrong.

    I just got one not to long ago and its a killer truck and it is extremely versatile the only things i found
    Was that it was a little slow for me out the box 20-30 mph tops but it does make up for it with the locking diffs and
    2speed I agree with Jimmie sell what u got save some coin
    You won't regret it
    Personally I opted to go with a tekin set up that's still
    In box not installed cause I still have so much fun with it
    I never have the time to down the truck lol

    Do it. The summit is by far the most universally loved truck. I can count on one hand the number of people who I've read about buying a summit and being disappointed with it. I can't say that for any other truck.

    Everyone who gets a summit ends up loving it. Just be sure you know what your getting. Its not a high speed basher. Its a slow to medium speed trail runner/crawler truck. If you can live with the lower speeds and appreciate the extreme capability... don't think... just get.

    i love my summit.
    as for anyone who asks about it, i tell them:

    for the money, this truck cannot be beat. for the intended design, it is flawless. it does exactly what it was intended to do. Overall, it is the best bang for the buck. it was not intended too be a speed machine, so it seems a little slow. but for everything you can do with it, it is money well paid. it does a little bit of everything......
    ......then i show the nose crawl video.....
    .. and people say "wow" or other words.


    honestly, you wont be disappointed. its awesome.

    i have 2 youtube vids of the nose crawling.
