Summitpocalypse

[punishermustang]

Hi guys I picked up this summit last summer from a friend needing money for his 1:1 crawler. Paid $150 and traded a old broke aluminum truck toolbox. The summit came with a hobbico charger and 3 stock batteries plus the tools that came with it and several spare parts. It was in need of a thorough cleaning and maintenance. The tires were junk the wheels were missing the beadlock rings and the body had 50 traxxas stickers on it. I fixed it up, repaired some wires and hit the dirt. Soon after I got it the front diffs went out a few weeks later the motor went out. I got lucky and found a nice used set of proline big joes and axial 40 series beadlocks for $60. They looked brand new! Recently scored 4 Venom 7 cell 5000 batteries new in the boxes for $100. Almost forgot my clutch went out this week and melted the spur gear. Here are a few pics enjoy.

Can't beat $150 for that at all. I never got to use my Summit, I sold it before I used it lol. Those action shots are awesome.

Looks good

I bought my summit for cheap to. Stripped it, fitted new gearbox, complete diffs, shocks, slipper and uprated shafts.
Best money I ever spent! Got a better than new vehicle for way less than new money

I threw this together today since its raining and my summit is out of commission right now. Not the best camera work but not bad considering the camera was zip tied to the transmitter.

Maybe it wasn't a waterproof setup?

Spring time is coming, the local bash sit will be pretty awesome once the snow melts.
