Default Traxxas Summit Unboxing & First Impressions

Finally joined you all and the craziness and bought a Summit! So far I love it! I am going to do some real offroading and crawling in the woods tomorrow with creek crossings. I made an unboxing video to show what the latest version is that is coming from Traxxas as of Oct 2013. If anything watch it for the Halloween Intro, Enjoy!

Just remember to water proof it...

granted the electronics are but the axles, gearbox, diffs, bearings, shaft joints, rockers, etc ect, are not.
before u do, at least replace all the grease with marine grease.... Little bit of time now will save u headaches later on.

Sus out YouTube, there is a great video someone made going in to great detail on the precautions to do before running ur summit in water... Well worth a look.... I just can't remember the name
