After much speculation Traxxas has finally unveiled their much anticipated rock crawler. Meet the Traxxas Summit. The Summit gives you the ability to lock the differentials and shift from low to high gear right from the transmitter. No need to break from the action to swap gears or install locking parts. Tear up the trail in “high” with a 25:1 ratio for dirt-slinging speed. When the terrain turns technical, drop it into “low” for a 70:1 ratio and unreal climbing torque. For the ultimate in climbing traction, flip the T-Lock™ switch to lock the front differential. Need even more grip? Activate the rear T-Lock diff for fully-loaded 4WD power no matter which tire is gripping or slipping.

However, we’ve made a number of modifications to the arms from there to improve performance and durability. Key durability features are as follows...
