I have the same issue with my controller being backwards, reverse is forward and Forward is reverse. Is there a way to fix change that without that computer you have?
Just lost my Dad needed a break from family n stuff and within five mins of watching your vid there's a huge genuine smile on my face, Thank You I needed that today
This is just testament to how tanky the summit really is. I've got one and absoletely love it. Definitely not meant for that kind of power, but it just eats up those jumps and hits!
when Kev gets a new toy: step 1: add more power step 2: destroy your new toy step 3: rebuild the toy and then redo the first two steps these 3 stages are sources of unlimited entertainment
The problem in the diff are the small ball bearings of the bevel gear. Some swap the inner one for a bronze bushing, this reduces the wear of the bearing and makes the drivetrain more stable.
I had this 1/10 summit since 2010. Change the body with proline gmc topkick , tire with proline bigjoe 40. Beautifull experience playing with this beast. Waterproof, 4x4/4×2 selector, locker, high low gear. Not much toy that time with those capability. I will keep it for my grand children
Pushes button, truck takes off and knocks everything off of table.......... "What Happened?!?!?" That was hilarious, Kevin. Love your content and enthusiasm as always.
honestly I think the brushed system on that thing is pretty good for a brushed system, obviously brushless=better, but for a brushed, that system can move that truck pretty well
Upgrade your inner and outer pinion bearings to some sealed ceramic or similar quality. The extra rpm and huge shock loads will kill bearings and take the diffs with them.LEM makes upgrade parts
I have one. Climbing ability is awesome. Fill the tires with water (learned that after river expedition) then the climbing ability goes to stupid crazy. The weight the water creates drops the center of gravity and add weight to the soft tire can grip better.
Just put this exact combo on my summit, within less than 5800mah worth of run time at 4s the rear ring and pinion was chunked. Time for helical gears, with the right shims and the mesh set it should be strong enough.
I did the castle conversion to mine a few years back. On 6s i was either not able to get it to slip just right or was blowing up diffs. Replaced all the driveshafts and metal diffs shimmed tight and still had issues. Changed it back to stock and got a kraton 6s.
I just put one of those castle beasts in my son uv a digger. Man it’s so good. Makes it perfect . More power , no cogging. Crawling ability. But the summit looks like a bit of fun now.
So happy you finally upgraded the summit. Now it gives me more ideas what I should do to mine. You looked like you were having a blast. Thank you for the awesome video Kevin!
That Summit is like a naughty adolescent dog - you take it for a quiet walk in the country and it tries to shag everything it sees. Still, very good fun Kev, especially if it's not your dog getting poked?
kev, you are going to break diffs ALOT, buy the hardened pinion/spur and aluminum differential cup that the spur gear bolts to. i didnt need to go as far as buying the aluminum diff carrier. I advise shimming the pinion and differential in the case to get a no slop fit. Get the steel axle shafts that are skinny NOT the mip ones, the skinny ones twist instead of breaking and will save your diffs by absorbing drivetrain shock before the diff. also i needed to upgrade the shift puck , that motor/esc will explode that part. i replaced the dual steering servo with one strong metal gear one. on the other side i replaced the shift servo with one of the steering servos, i had a problem with the trans not shifting fully and broke things shifting it hard.
My 6s Summit is still my fave RC after many years, always fun. Needed to upgrade rear diff and shafts to all metal and fit Trencher tyres, all good otherwise.
Nice! My summit is tekin rx8 swapped it's got some power! But your gonna need to upgrade to some mip shafts to handle the power. That system wil literally just snap those shafts or spin those pins out of the plastic shafts
The Rewinds you made are awesome Kevin! Slowmo was on point back then! Just looked at your 2019 version. Seems like the slowmo shots were more commonly used and that you filmed in higher framerates (60fps?) Back then. I really miss those kind of shots/quality. Please bring that quality back! Thanks for all you do😍😁🙏🏽.
Diffs yes. Drive shafts...not so much. You'd be surprised how durable the stock drive shafts are. I have the E-Revo Brushless Edition, which has the same driveshafts, and I've only had to replace them a couple times...and I bash that truck hard. To the moon!
I remember when the Summit came out I thought it was the most advanced RC ever. I just realized watching you work on the summit that my little 16th scale Slash 4x4 is pretty much just a summit shrunk down 😂. Same with your mini E-Revo.
Awesome video kevin. The Summit was my first rc car that i got bout a year ago. Great fun. I've got the Xmaxx 7s too, its next level of awesomeness. 👍👍

I think the Springs neet to be a bit stiffer
I have the same issue with my controller being backwards, reverse is forward and Forward is reverse. Is there a way to fix change that without that computer you have?
Yes go to stettings controler ant ther you can change the direxions
HI KEVIN
Here is the place were you took the trucks
Just lost my Dad needed a break from family n stuff and within five mins of watching your vid there's a huge genuine smile on my face, Thank You I needed that today
Sorry to hear that bro, glad i could put a smile on your face, stay strong!!
Just a little dark but sorry got your lose and stay strong
I am really sorry for your loss,just remember your dad will be always there with you
Recently I also lost my dad 😭
That is heartbreaking I hope you are ok ❤️
Traxxas should take note. MAKE IT BRUSHLESS. LOL

Best explanation EVER!!!
It’s a tumble Wimbledon kind of a day , and Kevs here ,, my day is complete
Tumble wumble kind of a day. I get it.

I love this guy... he’s made me smile since his day one
Same

I must hear Kevin say "Sunday, SUNDAY, Sunday".
He could follow it up with "Fish n chips", I don't care, but I must hear it!
i love every video so intersting and could watch every video again
this combo is 5-6hp. ive had it for years. Its PERFECT for the Summit

Castle has regained your trust i see! Hope this doesn't burst into flames mate
It seems like it's just the Mamba XLX2 that has the spontaneous combustion feature. He hasn't had trouble with any other ESC.

Mr Kev .. one human to another human .. u make my day better and help bring joy into my life ..Thank you. Your a special person and you are loved
This is going to be ABSELUTELY EPIC!
I love how everytime you unbox something its completely chaotic lol
I miss my summit so bad. Out of all the ones I had to get rid of, that one hurt the most.
So happy you finally upgraded the summit. Now it gives me more ideas what I should do to mine. You looked like you were having a blast. Thank you for the awesome video Kevin!
i think im gonna sell mine and go for a Maxx. I really don't like it
Lunchbox- I’ll buy your Summit
Cool it's about time to see this beast upgraded 😉
Great job Kevin 👊😎 like always 💯🔥
You guys remembered me my old days when I was kid and I have cars thanks😭😭❤️❤️❤️
5:22 That backflip was cooool
Was another great day out at a great location - roll on the next one 👍👍
Morning from Canada 6 am here
Be prepared to shatter your differentials Biggest problem with the summit & e revo Is the rear bearing in the diff
That was really cool. I'm surprised Traxxas haven't done this. Then again, maybe not as it's not really for bashing.
The locking diffs weren't meant to handle brushless power.
6:16 "Zombie apocalypse"=Trail builders repairing dirt jumps...I wonder if Kev and his friends have anything to do with that? lol
Finally! I've been waiting for more summit vidoes!! Thx Kev!
The smiles 😃 are priceless thank you 😊
Vốn những bài hát ngày xưa đã rất hay rồi mà thêm giọng hát giàu cảm xúc của Phúc nữa thì đúng là cực phẩm cover😍
You should do more videos with Summit!))
That Summit is like a naughty adolescent dog - you take it for a quiet walk in the country and it tries to shag everything it sees. Still, very good fun Kev, especially if it's not your dog getting poked?
Awesome crew. You , Claire and Ian, Dave and the boys . Not sure who else . But what’s a blast.
Is nice to see that you all are just having fun
The summit is one of the coolest from fracas and you solved it’s only problem…speed thanks kev
kev, you are going to break diffs ALOT, buy the hardened pinion/spur and aluminum differential cup that the spur gear bolts to. i didnt need to go as far as buying the aluminum diff carrier.

Big fan Kevin!!! you're the reason I enjoy RC cars. Much love from AUS !!!!
Kev!
Im getting my first x maxx in a week!
Im so excited
Awesome video Kev! Love the Traxxas Summit!! 😎
Man, I love you man. I wish I could have a car like one like yours cause you’re such a legend I want to grow up like you RC cars and everything.
the summit is such a great truck
Oohhhh poor summit! I have that exact build and LOVE it!
Jeez kev, Thats insane!
whats up kev just wondering when are you taking out the arrma granite?
Only RUclipsr I actually keep up to date on videos lol
Welcome to differential hell with the rest us brushless Summit guys!
My 6s Summit is still my fave RC after many years, always fun. Needed to upgrade rear diff and shafts to all metal and fit Trencher tyres, all good otherwise.
N you socks
That looked like so much fun! Great video.
Summit is my favorite rc car ever.
Kev why dont you put a motor that u used on the long jump car to the summit it will give it ABSOLUTELY HELL🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve waited for about a year for this to happen and my dream came true :)
"It's Getting It Now!" Famous last words before the RC car turns into a heap of mangled plastic. lol
Maybe build it next 6x6?
Dude my man literally made this guy better for flips
I discovered something that could've helped me a few days ago. The Summit uses the E-Revo platform and has an RPM sensor mount.
Nice! My summit is tekin rx8 swapped it's got some power! But your gonna need to upgrade to some mip shafts to handle the power. That system wil literally just snap those shafts or spin those pins out of the plastic shafts
Metal driveshafts are a must when converting it to brushless
Wow the new microfone and edit makes the videos better !
I suggest testing out the JEGS 1/10th 4x4 and brushless Hooligan Monster Truck. Just a little something different from what usually posted
The Rewinds you made are awesome Kevin! Slowmo was on point back then!
Just looked at your 2019 version.
Seems like the slowmo shots were more commonly used and that you filmed in higher framerates (60fps?) Back then. I really miss those kind of shots/quality. Please bring that quality back! Thanks for all you do😍😁🙏🏽.
This vid is 60fps, but when you are early to the vid youtube sometimes doesn't do 60fps
Wait until you brake stock axels. My e-revo (not the 2.0) I twisted 5 axels I a weekend 🤣
Big like from France 🇫🇷 👍🏽 👍🏽
Kevin+Brushless say good by too your drivetrain! Ha ha!
That's top notch editing. Great video.
Can't wait to see the best monster truck in the uk when it is ready!
Hey Kev
could you make a summit vs trx4 video?
I would really like to see how they compare to each other
Yeah ist fast with this combo, but it will eat up diffs and drive shafts faster than you can replace it,… 😝
Diffs yes. Drive shafts...not so much. You'd be surprised how durable the stock drive shafts are. I have the E-Revo Brushless Edition, which has the same driveshafts, and I've only had to replace them a couple times...and I bash that truck hard. To the moon!
Going use those summit and switch body to E-Revo look awesome
More power means more damage when BASHING!! I LIKE IT 👍 👌
Looks like a bigger motor might fit. You got anything bigger in the arsenal?
this dude is playing real life "make believe" like a kid. love it.
Buy now on Walmart, good video
I see a notification from youtube:😐
I see a notification from kev with more powerrr! In the titel:😱😁
I lost it when he drove the thing off backwards twice 🤣🤣
I put the same system in my summit best of both worlds like you said crawling and speed hi/lo gear ⚙️
I remember when the Summit came out I thought it was the most advanced RC ever. I just realized watching you work on the summit that my little 16th scale Slash 4x4 is pretty much just a summit shrunk down 😂. Same with your mini E-Revo.
There is a 1/16 summit
Love your video's buddy i can't wait to get myself a bouncer!
Kev could you please do a video of the feiyue FY:08 and how to make it handle better please
Castle +kevin = boom 💥
All the best for future
Mario was slammed by the car in the bushes......🤭
the body roll and way it drifts reminds me of the xmaxx alot
Someone forgot to tell Kev not to go hog wild on the throttle while the diffs are locked!
Your videos just get better and better sir..
Trow stiffer Springs on the rear And take the rear Springs and put them on the front
I fly freestyle drones, but this looks like a lot of fun too!
Kevin you have the best rc cars in the world
I love this build bc I love long travel suspension
Awesome bash guys!👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Now that’s a video I want to see! Not many of them out there
Love it love my summit, what s was you running I'm on 4s at the minute, will take 6s but until Iv changed the spider gears, not going to do it.
Kev fresh off the wake and bake 🥴❤️
Kev can you build a tekno kit and multi purpose it like the hardcore boys did
Awesome video kevin. The Summit was my first rc car that i got bout a year ago. Great fun. I've got the Xmaxx 7s too, its next level of awesomeness. 👍👍
Why 7S? 6S/8S ok, but 7S?
Keepin' it free in the new world order kev 💪🏽
