In this video I test the off road and crawling capabilities of my 1/10 scale Traxxas Summit for the First time since swapping in a sensorless brushless Power System
Hello friend, great show the demos, I bought a SUMMIT on 09/17/22, and so far I'm satisfied, it's not new, I bought it used... congratulations for the video... I made a video of it here on youtube... stay tuned feel free to comment ok....greetings from Brazil
Awesome man! Yeah the summit is a sweet machine!
Love Summit, they are such an under rated RC. I've got surpass hobby 4068 2050kv and Hobbywing max 10 with 17/68 gearing. It's not as smooth as the brushed setup when crawling, but it's still able to crawl nicely. The cogging is there but on low gear it manage to keep it to a minimum. Thanks for great content, much appreciated 👍👊
Agreed! The Summit is an Awesome Rc! I’m glad you enjoyed the Content! 😎👍
Great video- I just bought a Summit and the previous owner had already put that same brushless system in it. This is super helpful info, since I'm still fairly new to RC trucks!!
Nice! Yeah if it has the same setup as this it might struggle a bit in tough crawling situations since it’s sensorless and since there is no drag brake….also just be careful running brushless power on a Summit….I’ve heard Summits can’t handle 6s so I’ve been running mine mostly on 4s….I still had a diff failure on 4s actually
@@RCKnockout I plan to use my TRX4 for most of my crawling, so this will be a fun basher along with my Stampede.
Do you have a link to the metal driveshafts you bought (assuming they worked fine for you)? I've already broken two of the stock ones... And I've only ran it a couple times!
@@NathanaelStoner yeah so far they’ve held up…I’ll try to find those links for you

you can leave the crossmembers on the body w/ the proline bodymounts. ihave just installed the same setup last week and although I was hesitate to believe it would work, I had no problem keeping the caps tight. good luck!
Thanks! Someone else in the comments recommended that I try some longer grub screws…we will see maybe I’ll do that
2:02,
I had issues with one of the servos, and went nuts, but realized, that it was the diff metal control on the remote.
I unknowingly kept tapping it with a carabiner looped on my holder around my neck.
Them. Boom it stopped, but this may not be your issue.
Thanks for the video again.
Happy Friday!
Yeah…that wasn’t my issue lol…it definitely was the Servo…glad you enjoyed the video though bro! 👍😎
Nice video bro, I would definitely leave this set up for bashing and keep the factory 775 for crawl.
Yeah man! This definitely is a lot more fun for bashing….huge hassle to swap it out though…that’s why I’ve got two Summits…one with the stock system and then this Brushless one
You can set a drag brake for that, but the slop in the transmission is mostly due to the dog shifter gear in the transmission, the stock one is plastic, when you have the truck sitting there, with no power or anything, try to slide it forward and back, and that rolling that it allows to happen in both directions before you feel the gears engage is the amount of slop in that stock transmission. I don't know if they are still available, but there was a company LEM that made a hop up for that gear, in aluminum and that removes a lot of that slop (it engages much more quickly and smoothly).
I know exactly what you’re talking about…there is a ton of slop In this transmission…so does LEM actually make metal gears for the transmission?
@@RCKnockout Not all of them, just that Dog Carrier, but honestly, outside of that the transmission is well made, I've never broken anything in there in all the years I've been running this truck (save for one time I twisted the shaft in there that the slipper clutch sits on somehow, and the regular slipper maintenance), inside is a mix of metal and plastic gears, which for me at least, have held up, even to brushless.
@@drog343 that’s surprising that it’s held up to brushless power! How hard do you bash it? I’m assuming you don’t run more than 4s?
@@RCKnockout It's wide open dusty terrain, loose, lots of gravel & rocks (rough), have taken to the beach a couple times, a few winter snow runs, mild jumping. Most of the videos of mine, it is already brushless. And yeah, just 4s don't have any 3s packs, just 2s, 4s, & 6s packs.
@@drog343 I’m assuming you rarely run 6s though??
Love your videos just got a slash 4x4 vxl
Thanks! You’re gonna love the Slash 4x4!!
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
It looked good. Grab yourself the dog carrier from LEM. Easy job to do and it will help with what your experiencing.
Is the dog carrier the same as the diff housing?
No it’s in the transmission, there’s just a lot of slop that the LEM dog carrier takes out.
@@johnc7894 I gotcha…so it’s not replacement for the gears then
@@RCKnockout No. It’s just a part that helps take away slop. Traxxas stock dog carrier just allows to much of the roll back when trying to get up something as soon as you let off the throttle. LEM allows some just not much. Other then that the truck looks good!
@@johnc7894 thanks! Yeah there definitely is too much slop with the stock Transmission
Once you got it in low gear it actually did quite well
Yeah it doesn’t do terrible
Ok so for servos let me share something I've learned over the last few months. So you can obviously upgrade to a HV servo with high torque but then most people end up running those off a BEC that's internal on their ESC or they run an external BEC. Both of those are decent solutions and work. But if you want the best performance you need to have an external battery power the servo directly and not a BEC / ESC. It's a pretty dramatic difference and I learned this through the company promodeler who make amazing servos of all types and sizes and sell the external battery you would want to power it with. Then you just plug the signal.wire into your reciever and then basically have a Y connection that then allows you to use an external battery to power the servo. So the servo is now no longer powered via the reciever and only uses that for signals and the servo gets all it's power from a bettery you would mount on your rc somewhere. I did this to my Xmaxx and the results are insanely good. Then all I have to to is charge my servo battery every so often. It has a balancing cable and charges via XT30. I only have to charge the servo battery once every few months after many runs...probably 50 runs.
Thanks for the info…I’d prefer not to run another external battery if I can help it though
@@RCKnockout You could always try it and judge for yourself. I think the battery was like $25. I thought the same thing but now that I've done it there's no going back. It would be a good video / something different to try you don't see much of in the RC TH-cam world.
@@seth9145 hmmm…maybe I’ll have to look into it…….
@@RCKnockout it's literally plug and play. you buy the battery from promodeler with the harness and just mount the battery and plug everything in. Maybe keep the servo you have now and see if there's any improvement just by powering it via battery vs receiver box.
@@seth9145 so there’s a certain battery I have to buy? What kind of connector is on it?
what tires wheels are those ? i have this monster and need 4 tires

Idk I definitely wouldn’t call this a crawler or use it for crawling, I mean yes you can crawl with it I’ve seen people trying to crawl with it. The it’s so big & ties are so huge nothings gonna stop it lol. Definitely a cool basher to take out & smash around. I’ll stick to my gspeed LCG’s & trx4’s for crawling!! Cool to see it out and about though.😂😂👍🏼
I disagree, I think it is a crawler/basher….it does have independent suspension so it’s not a scale looking rig or anything like that…but a lot of features that they put in the Summit..they also put in the Trx4….the locking/unlocking diffs and the 2 speed transmission…it definitely was created to crawl
I love mine, need to do some upgrades to it because I’m looking for more power/durability, hence why I’m here. I was skeptical of the crawling aspects but after running this thing for years I’ve found it really opens up where you can “crawl”, you see a log or pile of rocks you would never have noticed/taken the time to consider with a true crawler. If you have places to run it the larger size and 6”+ of articulation really helps.
@@codyg7936 yeah it’s not “true scale” but it still is a lot of fun!! And a super capable machine
did you mention what KV that motor is?
It’s 2200kv
@@RCKnockout I just ordered a 1700kv sensored motor/ESC for mine, I’m hoping that will just give it a little more but still be crawl capable
@@McNewMotoTech if it’s Sensored it should be buttery smooth
@@RCKnockout Yeah man I’m hoping so! I read on a forum that the lower KV Sensored motor was the way to go! After watching your video I couldn’t stand the cogging for too long and I like you would want brushed again. Anyway I’ll post a video on my RC Channel; I’m just a hobbiest so don’t worry your videos are way better than mine! th-cam.com/channels/_PE8VbYx_g3ER4KyxgRB2g.html
I think those are fasttrack driveshafts
Is that what the brand is actually called?
@@RCKnockout yeah
1/10th is a scale not a size.
