I like how you keep it real because everybody knows that nothing goes as planned.lol
Very true! It never does lol 😂
Subscribed. The summit is getting popular again! Just got mine after a month long backorder. Keep up the summit vids!
Appreciate it! 👍😉
Dang a lot of upgrades
Yep
If you are into your putting a bunch of aftermarket stuff like that on you need to invest in a Dremel. Take your time next time and grind down the parts to fit perfect. I have all the same parts on my summit. Oh yea, and you might want to keep the original spring from the plastic servo saver because the black spring it comes with is way too tight. Just plan on getting metal gear servos too.
Thanks for tips! I do own a dremel now though…wish I had one back then
Man!
Keep making awesome videos!
A huge fan man
Thanks man! 😊
Yeah what you put on is a solid upgrade. That no name China stuff 50/50 chance is going to work or not. I've had the same problem.
Yeah it’s frustrating but what can you do
The Teknos don't run the pivot ball setups, as far as I know they're all caster blocks and knuckles, with the toe and camber links, I believe. Sorry, about the steering components, though you might have been able to just swap the stock plastic ends onto those new links to get everything to fit right.
The plastic ends were one of the things I was hoping to ditch though….stuff doesn’t always pan out lol 😂
Wow!!! 👏👏😎😎
This is a great awesome video!! 👍👍👊👏
Thanks 😊
alloys are fun
Yep!
The blue to all the blAck makes it Bang 💥
Thanks! I think so too!
Nice work well done looks good 👍
Thanks 😊
Awesome upgrades
Thanks 😊
Well that sucks that some of the upgrade parts didn't fit.
I know it’s a bit of a bummer
Those Chinese links more than likely won't last long. I've had then on my UDR and tried a set on my nitro Revo. The little washer holding the pivot ball pops out and then the pivot ball comes free and flops about.
I didn’t put them on. The fitment was bad
Do you still recommend these oversize aluminium steering Knuckles from the video over the rpm ones? Do you recommend combine these aluminium steering knuckles with the rpm wishbones? Or should I get rpm steering knuckles and wishbones? rpm ones are still plastik.
Yeah I’ve had no issues with the Aluminum Knuckles in combination with the RPM arms…..I recommend it
I bought some aluminum knuckles and the boot would slide out from under the plastic clip when it was installed do these hold the rubber tight like the stock knuckles they actually sealed them from water
You still have to retain the stock clips which unfortunately don’t hold the rubber boot on very well
@@RCKnockout do you use the boots still even though they fall off and does water and mud getting in ruin the pivot balls or make them grind?
@@chippytits3803 I still use them but yeah water and grit can get in there….I wash the pivots balls out with water pretty regularly though
Have you thought about putting in a TSM receiver to help with steering?
Actually the receiver in there might be a Tsm one….I’m not really sure….
Hi, What are the best batteries for Traxxas Summit? Which one do you recommend?
I’m not sure what the best are but I run some cheap 2s Hoovo Lipo packs that I bought off Amazon
Haha! Oops! Could have measured & trimmed for fit instead of hammer to fit! Haha! Been there tho! Nice try!
True, but theoretically it should have just slid in place lol 😂….Clearly they’re not manufactured to spec..
shame he didnt include all the links,
Reliable, yes, no?
I wouldn’t say it’s the most durable machine you can buy
What wheel and tyres are on the truck?
They’re the Proline Rock Rage tires….not sure what wheels they’re mounted on?
@@RCKnockout Thanks. I can use my original wheels I think and put these tyres on. Great summit videos. I just got a used one so watching your videos for help and upgrades!
@@phookit2 you’re welcome! Glad you’re enjoying the Summit videos!
Good video, 👍
I actually purchased the same H.R Aluminum (Blue) Steering bell crank, I can confirm it does fit
with Genuine Aftermarket Traxxas Aluminum Tie Rods perfectly for my Summit.
- Traxxas Black Aluminum Steering Links - #5338A x 2 (Front & Rear)
-Traxxas Red Aluminum Steering Links #5318X x 2 (Front & Rear)
Hope that helps 😊✌
Thanks for letting me know! Yeah I should have gone with the Genuine Traxxas Upgraded Parts to begin with. I might have to look into those Traxxas Links
