The thumbs down are the people that are not enjoying the RC Life... nothing more. Let them have their Thumbs down, it's a reflection of what sort of person they are haha... 😎👌
@@dominicpsn I think it should be private as people has a right to their own private opinion if they dislike something or not. Realistically, when you dislike a vid, all the creators fanboi's will flood you by name and rip you a new one if they knew you disliked it. Sorry but i think that toxicity should say out of RUclips and such communities.... If creators knows who dislikes by name, you can bet that creator will name them by name and shame them publicly which is not good because they would not know why their vid was disliked which could be for a good reason. On that note now im thinking about it, i do think RUclips statistics should tell the creator on all the people (not by name) that disliked their vid, who the these people are more subscribed to and vids they liked and name that creator to the one getting all the dislikes. That would shed some light on a few things....
@@TomleyRC This video was so good that I seen another popular RUclips rc channel which will be left nameless that just did a video on the summit after you did...weird.
Love my decade old Summit. When the shifting servos crapped out I didn't want to spend the money on more stock servos that were going to die again. Being a micro with a 25 tooth output it's a bit hard to find suitable replacements. However, HobbyKing to the rescue. I found the Turnigy TGY-390V fit perfectly and is much more robust. There's also the TGY-210DMH and TGY-390DMH that will fit the stock spaces without modification. As for steering, a pair of DSServo DS3218MG are way stronger than stock, and again much more robust. Hope this helps. Great vids. Cheers. PS- snip two little holes in each tire on opposite sides so they can shed the water quickly and easily.
Great looking truck. I got the 1/16 summit and am happy! I'm new to the hobbie and don't know much. Good way to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. 🌞 much love from Oregon!
After being out of the RC space for a while and just getting back into it in the past few months I had no idea Dan had passed away. I remember drooling over some of the parts he had available for the Summit when i owned one.
Great stuff Phil. You are a hero for going out in the rain. Now I'm not a Traxxas fan but I do really like this one and it is pretty unique in the RC market. I find crawlers a bit dull after a while but something with changeable gears is very appealing. Looks cool too :-)
So what your trying to tell me is I should stay away from the Traxxas Summit, trx4 (all crawlers) and just save save save for the XMaxx + upgrades required before driving for first time, servo etc. plus batteries because 8s. So $1,400 us😒 Maybe the Arrma BigRock??
Great vid tomo. The only problem with mine is that all the screws on the body have rusted. Not even run it in the wet only damp days. Keep up the good work pal.
I put a Leopard Hobby 4292 1650kv motor with a Max 8 esc, and on stock gearing it crawls beautifully. I have it geared up to 62t spur and 26t pinion and it doesn't even get that hot. I highly recommend this setup.
Bravo, you brave man for playing in the rain, I ll definitely get a summit one day & give it the same treatment as you did. Totally sold to your witchcraft.
I love that this things suspension travel. Its almost like a sbr or udr with it pulling the one wheel up. Great vid as usual even with the typical traxxas electronics failing lol
my SUmmit rocks a Hobbywing Ezrun Max8 setup, 4-6s, 150A with a 2200kv motor, no sensors. It's rather silly fast for a summit on 4 s, i've yet to try it on 6, but i believe it might be ridiculous, i even put the smallest pinion traxxas setup can have to tone the beast down. Your build for a slow and steady crawler, that could also be fun, do i need a second summit, one for 6s shanenigans and one for crawling. in the image of you sour in the rain adn the Summit just there happy to be out there playing, adorable
I did mention the servos when you announced the summit on the channel. Mine was shockingly unreliable too and had to replace the servos. They have to be better at the price of the truck and the price of replacing them. Fitting the as you say is more hassle than it should be too.
The new Kyosho USA-1 is coming out again and it looks like its right up your ally. That thing is ready for dual 4s brushless 2300kv motors and rear steering which is a upgrade option for the duel setups.
So pumped to see the Summit back in action. One of my favorite rigs. I have the orange/blk version. Thanks for sharing your upgrades. Keep it going, Great video.
Always wanted a Summit 😁 so underatated 😬 awesome info about Euro Rc 💶 👍, great upgrades , 👍really enjoyed this fantastic Bashing speed Test video Phil 😁 funny in the Water 😂 keep safe and well 👍🙏👍 BOOOOM 💥💣💥
Awesome mud bash...I'd say ya went easy on it this one this time lol. That was kinda of you! I Knew ya had a soft spot for Traxxas some where 😎👍 Another great vid bro!!! As always..
@@TomleyRC I said water cook, that was a typo lol. Meant water cool lol. Yes, I'd imagine all your electronics were water proof before doing something like that hahahahaha!
What happened to you with the ditch , happened to me and my rustler 4x4 vxl except mine was a pond! Lol! I laughed my ass off when you realized that ditch was there! Thanks!
I like the summit so mutch. A realy nice Video, funny and not bored 😅 Maybe on Christmas in 2022 I spare enough money for it. Because this year comes the Ryft RBX10 KIT first.
I didn't care for this truck until I got one. It's actually a lot of fun even in the stock platform. I added the ProLine Badlands as the stock tires are way too soft and rotted off in less than a year.
a nice set of narrower crawler tyres (if they wouldn't balloon too much!) would look tougher and less toy like. Great mod though, speed AND control.. Awesome! 👍🍺
@@Mostima115 I think you're right there. I like what wide tyres do for stability, but when a car becomes wider than it is long, and the tyres massively are out of proportion to the body shell, it starts looking clumsy and ugly. The scale models and crawlers esp, look like real cars,.maxxed up a bit. The big models you mention though...... yeah I would like my stuff to be faster and not roll over so much, I hate the long walk to pick em up. But to look like an out of proportion kids toy doesn't seem right either.
You'll hate it when you break a bulk head or need to get to a diff, also, on the front body mount base, you'll want to drill 2 holes through that piece into the chassis and put some screws in. other wise It's only 1 screw and a tab holding it on, not a strong design. The rear chassis brace is a must as well, it saves the rear bulkhead.
Summit is a cool rig & have a stock one myself. I think Traxxas hit the nail on the head , but over-priced IMO, it's Traxxas . Thanks for sharing the cool content as always ! Would give you 2# thumbs ×👍 if I could 💯 Cheers 🍻
That's my biggest gripe. It's a great truck but it should be more for the price. Either update it to today's tech or drop the price to 2 decades ago tech.
Hi Phil great to see the summit out again, you need to get some proline rock rage tyres and rims they were always the one to go for , them little servo's are really pants and extortionate prices for them , I sent mine back to the importer and they replaced them for now't Which kept it going for a few weeks , you could always try a big DeWalt drill motor and gear it up I'll find out which one and let you know you can run 4s on the stock esc with that set up
@@TomleyRC I was going to post the same thing on your vid.. but thought better of it lol These recent batch of Summit vids seem so odd so many years after the summit originally came out. lol Many people have done the lunatic erevo build so far, and modding up a summit just seems a roundabout way to make an erevo.. however how well a modern brushless setup and more modern crawling bits in one might be interesting.
Great video - the axe system looks excellent. The car is an interesting combination of a basher and crawler, probably more crawler. I will be interested to see what you make of an xmaxx at some point - that’s probably the only traxxas I’d want.
Yeah I love the hobby wing axe FOC system. I have one in my HPI venture that I've been doing a lot of filming with I broke the rear ax but those parts are coming in today I'll have that fixed today. Anyways really impressed with those hobby wings
@@TomleyRC nice I had to do it to my trx6 wheels but had to mount them on my 1/16 erevo to spin them fast enough to get all the water out lol. Can't wait for the next vid!
I watched this video before and enjoyed it. I wondered what maintenance you did to the truck after you ran it through all that water and did the truck suffer any ill effects?
Awesome. How has this video got two thumbs down, come on, smash the like button, he's soaking wet and bringing great content. Good Job Tomley 💯👊
The thumbs down are the people that are not enjoying the RC Life... nothing more. Let them have their Thumbs down, it's a reflection of what sort of person they are haha... 😎👌

Thumbs down for your simp comment
That is insane they should definitely make a Summit 2.0 vxl. Maybe 3 gears instead of 2: Crawling gear, bash gear, and speed gear.
Stronger steel diffs, and it's perfect
I'm about to do a build on my green one with the new brushless system!
Love my decade old Summit. When the shifting servos crapped out I didn't want to spend the money on more stock servos that were going to die again.

"See? I'm not always a Traxxas hater am I?"
GOLD!!haha
hahaha
I will be likely always be T subversive. But their great fun to have around so you have someone to beat at the track. ;)
Awsome, thanks for sharing too , just really getting back into the hobby a bit more. Finding the local clubs and others to run with.
No probs dude
It's pretty awesome that the tires of the summit are enough to hold it above water and allow it to flow. I have floated my summit across a small pond
Now it's brushless, that's an awesome bit of kit. If I wouldn't end up divorced, I'd be tempted to buy one of these!! 🤪
haha
Awsome Tom. Realy like this vid. Your devotion and fun dispite (sorry for my English) the rain, is fun to watch.
Yes... was good fun even though it was raining
Great looking truck. I got the 1/16 summit and am happy! I'm new to the hobbie and don't know much. Good way to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. 🌞 much love from Oregon!
I want a 1/16... they look awesome
After being out of the RC space for a while and just getting back into it in the past few months I had no idea Dan had passed away. I remember drooling over some of the parts he had available for the Summit when i owned one.
Awesome job, Tomley! 😃
Pretty impressive little truck! Fantastic!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Cheers dude. 😎🤟
You beet ole Kev Talbot to the brushless Summit run didnt ya!!!!! Lol
Indeed he did. But when Kev converts his Summit to brushless, the carnage is almost guaranteed!👍🏼
This model is beautiful and tough !! I love the upgrade that you made!!! Yeaaah Baby!!
I’m am hopeful you will become more popular, bigger than RUclips.
Thanks Bruv.
You should drill some holes in the outside of tires then the water will be discharged out the holes done it to mine works great nice video .
Like it, good honest rc tinkering and bashing
Cheers mate
That looks like a ton of fun!! Yes 2 speedbaby!! awesome vid!!!
Yes.. lots of fun! Even if the weather wasn't lol
Love to see more Summit videos
Great stuff Phil. You are a hero for going out in the rain. Now I'm not a Traxxas fan but I do really like this one and it is pretty unique in the RC market. I find crawlers a bit dull after a while but something with changeable gears is very appealing. Looks cool too :-)

Sounds awesome
Nice looking truck👌
awesome rc and great testing
Thanks mate :)
Crazy times, crazy car 😂😝🔥
U were smiling the hole time tho ! All weather basher 🤙👍🏻🤙
ha ha that looks way more fun now bud 👍
What a car!! Great video once again👍
Thanks dude
After watchin Kevs summit video this am, and now yours.. i gotta upgrade mine! Thanks for the inspiration! Summit.. the king!
No worries Ian :)
Get heavy duty diffs man

Yes... looks crazy when driving along haha
Nice Job Tomley!
I got 2 that have been given brushless hearts and new servos all round, I think they are great
That’s got to be the best multi purpose rc 👍🏻
Yes... does a bit of everything

FOR SALE one carefull owner, never seen water 🤣🤣 great video matey 👍🏻
I did mention the servos when you announced the summit on the channel. Mine was shockingly unreliable too and had to replace the servos. They have to be better at the price of the truck and the price of replacing them. Fitting the as you say is more hassle than it should be too.
Yes... they lasted about 4 battery packs!
Great Video, great Channel! Thank you for your dedication!
cant wait to c the Kevin Talbot summit video
That is such an awesome truck! Great vid 👍🏼
Cheers dude
the RC Sherp woulda loved that swamp!
Awesome vid tomley.
Cheers dude. The Sherps been there already :)
@@TomleyRC oh yeah i remember, feels like a while ago now lol.
Dude, I can’t bring myself yet to submerge my summit into that depth.
Rock on.

Got my eye on that already! I nearly bought the Mad Crusher a few years back, so I reckon you'll see the USA-!1on the channel in the future for sure!
@@TomleyRC I have the foxx ve 2.0 , which I think is rather similar. I love it. Great video btw, summit is one of the most versatile vehicles I have.

Looked fun and warm and dry from my bed lol Good times mate Cool RC for sure ✌️
Haha
Appriciate your hard earned efforts to show us the summit...cheers...love it

Looks like fun and not a bad looking truck either 👊🏼
I feel a brushless summit challenge with another RC youtuber in the UK 😁
haha
Absolutely loved it! great video, always watch to the end and always looking forward to your video announcement!
Thanks Chad... really appreciate the support
Awesome mud bash...I'd say ya went easy on it this one this time lol. That was kinda of you! I Knew ya had a soft spot for Traxxas some where 😎👍 Another great vid bro!!! As always..
I am just about to purchase another Traxxas... 🤫
Well, I guess that's one way to water cook your motor and esc lol. That was freaking awesome!
It’s all waterproof 😅
@@TomleyRC I said water cook, that was a typo lol. Meant water cool lol. Yes, I'd imagine all your electronics were water proof before doing something like that hahahahaha!

I subscribed because of this you make content for us in the rain thank you Tomley
My truck has LEM e every thing. Max8 motor and speed controller. 2x 3s batteries. Power Hobby batteries. My rjg is also purple.
Nice! I replaced the 2065 servos with PowerHD TR4’s.
I bet that clean up was well worth it! Nice location!
Love the mud thats what make its fun
That goes well.. More well-er than mine with the 2400 km motor on 2S, as you'd expect. I regret not using a waterproof ESC now...
Impressive truck 👍
Good job gonna upgrade mine as killed motor and nice gr
Cheers dude
Liked the first video you made with it so I went and got one just like it😂, keep them videos coming!

@@TomleyRC haha I watched his "next time we'll put a brushless in one" video and next notification was this :D Nice one

Yes... they make some nice stuff, and also some crap stuff lol
Dang!!! That will go perfect in my summit!!!! Great vid brother!!!!

great work bro
Great video - the axe system looks excellent. The car is an interesting combination of a basher and crawler, probably more crawler. I will be interested to see what you make of an xmaxx at some point - that’s probably the only traxxas I’d want.

Thats more like it! Moe powa baybeee
LOL!! the big "T" is not my first choice for anything. So I hit the LIKE button because of the Person doing the TY work.
Thanks Mike 😜
Need to put some holes in the tires to get that water out hehe
Yeah I have now..... you'll see when I had it out in the rain the tyres were much better. Dried...wheel holes sealed and tyres vented :)
@@TomleyRC nice I had to do it to my trx6 wheels but had to mount them on my 1/16 erevo to spin them fast enough to get all the water out lol. Can't wait for the next vid!
my mate runs his on 6s.. you can put a motor out of a drill in this car aswell dewalt most commonly put in there
What a super capable truck. Doesn't look fun in the weather for you though
I just bought a Summit without motor and ESC. What size and kv motor would you brushless recommend for it? Keeping it 4S
Woo rc summit top broo
I watched this video before and enjoyed it. I wondered what maintenance you did to the truck after you ran it through all that water and did the truck suffer any ill effects?
Currently building mine! Picked it up on a trade and blew the stock old motor out first bash😂 what would you put in it now?
1/4 brake line tube beveled at one end
..heat. It up it works great for venting
