Hey guys.

along with the wheels and tire upgrade (see Brushless E-Maxx topic) i recieved another package.

Got a Red Traxxas Summit. dont have any proper shots as my camera died while taking pics.

looking forward to some rock crawling action tomorrow. will post vids as soon as i get back.

in a short home test it could climb up a vertical wall. but the batteries were not fully charged so could not take it on the stairs.

Dude, that's awesome! Action pics!

You're on a roll huh?Nice stuff man.

hehe. thx. well a few of my friends are interested in getting them as well. showing them all the available options.

who knows we might end up having a small RC group from vizag as well. hopefully.

check back a little later. taking the summit out today. will try to get some vids.

WOW! First the e-maxx now the Summit ! Awesome man  congrats. Post some action pics

The summit is a lot of fun, you can use that thing anywhere.Congrats !!!

WHERE DID U BUY IT FROM, IM PLANNING ONE, HOW MUCH CHEERS 

Thanks guys.

@Siddharth - U are right. this thing redefines "Go anywhere" for Rc.

@fmanavalan - Got it from Jayanth(RC Throttle) Bangalore. Price was approx 37k.

It is tons of fun. even with my amateur crawling skills it still managed to crawl over most of the terrain today.

only problem is that on some steep inclines the rear goes under the front and it tips over onto its back.

otherwise its just an awesome piece of machinery.

the other problem is that it does not have a LVC, so Lipo's are a no no till i can get that. and the stock batteries run for about 30 mins with a mix of low and high gear.

its decently fast in high gear. in low gear there is no stopping it.  crawled over everything in its way (including my e-maxx)

Havent taken it through water yet. But everything else is Rock Solid and tons of fun.

none of todays vids came out well. so uploading a few pics.

will try to get some good videos tomm. trying to convince a friend who has a E-Revo Brushless to come along.  lets see...

more pics

some more.

Great pics man!
When I was at Jayanth's, I saw the Summit box that was to be shipped out to you!

Great to see you're having fun!

Superb photography dude.Especially the ones in reply #8.In the last picture,it looks like the E-Maxx and summit are friends sitting on the rocks.

Hey you should try crawling at night with all those LED's How fast will you rate it in % compared to e-maxx? Strange that it does not come with LVC.

@ Divyam,iamahuman - Thanks guys. yep dealing with Jayanth has been a pretty nice experience. and i wish the forum would support slightly bigger file sizes for pics. some of the pics i take with my SLR are not compressing without loosing all detail when compressed to 192 kb

@Rajathv8 - crawling at night should be possible. the LED's are pretty bright. as for speed please check out the video of a small drag between my E-maxx and Summit. the summit was at full throttle. while the E-Maxx was at about 70% throttle to avoid a wheelie.

individually its decently fast. but compared to an E-Maxx its slow. btw the both of them were running stock 7-cell Nimh traxxas batteries in the video.

That clears things. Thats fast enough. You can upload detailed pics on some other site and paste the link. Like what Divyam did for his slash.

Yeah.. 192kb is really small.. Even using a good image compressor, I couldn't get it to 192kb..
Create a Photobucket ID.. Its free!

Damn, after seeing the pics and vids, I'm so jealous! 

I know that the summit has 5 servos. What are they for?

As far as I know, 2 are for steering, 1 for changing gears, 1 for each diff.. Am I right?

Amazing photography man. Loved that pic e-maxx, summit and the beach in the background  All we need is a video showing summit's crawling skills 

Hey can you also post close-up pics of the diff_servo ,  gear_servo arrangement.?

I guess a signature is in order

niceeee   

hey guys.

will create a photobucket id later tonight.

and yes it has 5 channels. ESC, dual steering servos, 2 speed trans. and 2 for T-Lock.

pics and a vid attached to show servos. the second pic has the servos marked out.

at the end of the vid i accidently hit reverse. ouch! 

hey guys.

a small video showing the summit in some water. 

its a little slow as most of it is in water. no probs with it. its running fine.

and watch till the end.

You make us wait for your videos and now i know why ! SUPERB ! Pro work it is  Summit literally goes anywhere. Mud, water, rocks. Nothing is a deterrent for it. The best part its ready for a shower at the end  you may want to try and sell the video to traxxas 

The opening of the video is BRILLIANT ! Love the way the car comes onto the cam. Superb thinking !
