it works way better with sealed 3.8 pro-line sand paws or paddle tires my friend drove across a lake and very nearly got it stuck in the middle of this lake
summits are tough as hell there a kick ass truck iv owned many rc and the summit is the only one i haven't destroyed the only fall back about the summit is the motor the stock motor SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! ya it has power ya it has speed but it blows so easy iv had my summit for just over 2 years and i went thru 4 motors in 6 months!!!!!! and finaly i transferred it to a brushless and now its is the sickest toy ever. itsjust like my e-revo brushless but way tougher and can go anywhere
You have made more cool than it is stock! :D BUt I do not think that it is good to risk driving in water. It is not cheap and I have also never seen something like this :)
I just bought a 1/8 summit used from a kid for 100 bucks he tought it was broke but after I took it apart i found out that mud was stuck in the esc and would. Not let it start lol but from the half gallon oof water iv got out of the tires I can telll the summit is as close to water proof as iv founnd in a rc truck! Its impressed me soo far
@NoLabelApparel The bearings in the entire truck including motor were eventually destroyed. You can get a bearing set for under $20 on ebay for the truck and $30 for motor bearings. Not the end of the world but still a waste of 50 bucks. I have driven the truck through everything.. and drive it at least 3 times a week for the past two years. I'm not a Traxxas fan.. but this is a great truck.
@NoLabelApparel They are ment to do that and everything is replaceable, but hey you spend the money and buy new and ill buy yours off you when your A.D.D. kicks in 6 months from now and ill save the money lol
I do not think already am water thing it have also still schroefjes look but one slash schroefjes of the veroesten and I file scarcely in water sometimes a puddle pool but more
You have to have 40 series mudslinger tires, with beadlock rims so you can seal the tires with silicone when you put on the tires to the rim. My truck floats on water good.
@donaldcreason I did. The biggest problem has been bearing rust. Also.. the receiver keeps getting wet. The Mamba has been great after coating the PC Board with liquid electrical tape.
@drvonhoss there is a type of military greese that you can buy and they use it for their offroad heavy duty vehicles in the army and it works great on my friends truck.
that thing sucks at crawling and you didn't drive on water only in it ;)
