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 💯👊

@TomleyRC 3 года назад

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 3 года назад

I always wondered if it said who gives thumbs up and down to creators. It shouldn't be anonymous

@stuart3712 3 года назад

@@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 RU-vid 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 RU-vid 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....

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 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??

@carlbModels 3 года назад

@@idshunter4982 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.

@wordreet 2 года назад

I'm lovin' mine! I have ended up shelling out for new OEM wheels/tires as the other tires had seriously perished presumably due to age/exposure to sunlight, and splut on most of the sidewalls. So any water got absorbed by the sponges inside. I spun 'em up to get rid of some of it and copped it in the face. 🤦 Eejit! Oh and I have now vowed not to buy any more Lipo packs in my cars. Primarily as I always take one or two RC cars with me when I visit family. Don't get me wrong, I've never had any probs with Lipos, but I don't want to be charging them in anyone else's house. I even sold two almost new 3S 7000mah packs to a mate at work for £10 each. So anything that can take it is getting 7 cell Nimh, and obviously the Summit gets 2 packs at a time. Well over 40 mins is I'm not full speed bashing it!
