1/16 summit/e-revo question

[raw111]

Hi Guys, not sure if this is really the place to put this. But i figured one of you guys may know. I have a 1/16 revo vxl. and hoping to make it a little bit more stable can i swap to the Summit arms all the way around and the summit toe links/shock links? without really affecting my ride height? if not i may convert completly to a summit. Thanks guys!

ever seen the "flip wheels" mod? just flip your wheels around so that the huge lip is on the outside

I think the arms are the same, only the wheels have different offset.

Ya i Found that out. I have seen a couple of the midnigh pumpkin bodied slash's and i think i will just convert to that hoping to do some 1.55 rims with some meaty tires and have a semi off roader/ rough terrain truck the merv styling just doesnt do it for me and i picked up a 1/10 summit!

same arms. for stability run heavy shock oil and light spring tension lower to the ground.

Where r u finding all your info for building up your revo? Just bought a mini 1/16 vxl revo for cheap and have been looking for crawler mods and info.
Tried searching with my phone(tapatalk)
1/16 traxxas
1/16 revo crawler
Mini revo
Mini summit
And other combinations
But nothing comes up on the searches?
Is this not a popular rig to build ?
Thanks

Run black rate Traxxas springs with 80W shock oil. It'll help alot more than you think.

Not to mention the 1/16 Summit is more tipsy from the factory than the ERevo. I was able to run my ERevo so that it wouldn't flip when sideways, or give it some height to get over obstacles. Switching to stiffer springs didn't allow me to do both at the same time so I gave up and went to 1/10.
