The Summit Traxxas is a new kind of radio controlled truck.
This Rc Truck is two trucks in one; it is a combination of a monster truck and a rock crawler making it a true extreme terrain monster truck.
With this innovative new model, Traxxas has proved themselves to be leaders in the radio controlled industry.
It is the versatility of the truck that makes it stand out against other Rc trucks.
The two key features of the Summit model that gives it the ability to be so versatile are the T-Lock differentials and the two speed high/low transmission.
The two speed transmission is not a new thing in the world of Rc trucks, but the Summit is different to other models because it has a low range 70:1 gear ratio and a high range 25:1 gear ratio.
The benefit of having these two gear ratios is that the truck has the speed to tackle a trail in high range, but there is also enough torque for the truck to master rock climbing.
For the truck to be able to scale rocky terrain there needs to be enough traction and grip.
In order to do this the differentials need to be locked.
On the Summit Traxxas this is easily done by flipping the T-Lock switch on the transmitter.
This will also give you the ability to lock the front differential which can help if you need the front of the truck to dig or lock the rear for permanent four wheel drive.
The best thing about this model is that it was specifically designed to be able to perform in all conditions.
Come rain, snow or mud, the truck will be able to tackle any terrain.
All the electronics on the Summit are waterproof so you don't need to worry about damaging the truck.
I have used my Summit in all weather conditions and have found that come rain or shine it continues to perform to a high standard.
This revelation means that the fun need not stop no matter what the weather is doing! The Summit has everything that you would expect from a Traxxas model, including high grip tires and the famous dual-steering servo system.
I have tested the Summit on some of the toughest terrain out there, and where other models have failed, the Traxxas Summit has the power to conquer any obstacle it encounters.
Equipped with dual telescoping CV-style drive shafts and axles, the Summit has been designed to withstand the heaviest top loads and not fall apart.
I have found the Summit to be a versatile truck that can withstand lots of play, and although it isn't the fastest truck out there, you can certainly have some fun bashing it around! If you are looking for a Rc truck that combines the best of both worlds of monster truck and rock crawler, look no further than the Summit.
I have tried a number of other models and have consequently found that nothing beats the versatility and hardiness of this model.
The Summit is tough, durable and extremely reliable so why not give it a go today!
