That is precisely why I took a very quick liking to the Traxxas Summit. It does all the crawling stuff I desire, but then when boredom kicks in, I just shift the thing to High gear and blast off into the distance (dust clouds flying & everything).
That's an awesome little crawler there in that box!

I've had it 10 years now and still haven't gotten bored with it... I put on sand tires and took it to Glamis (Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area) the day after a windstorm (so all the dunes were nice & smooth). What a freakin' blast on 6s LiPo power!! (it's got a Castle Mamba Monster ESC & motor like the original brushless E-Revo had).

More recently I bought the TRX-4 Ford Bronco. This is a VERY sharply-detailed and capable little crawler rig. I made my own light setup for it (with reverse lights that work) since there wasn't anything available at the time I got it. I think it came out pretty nice. Like the Summit, it has selectable lockers and a two-speed trans, though it's top speed is maybe barely faster than jogging pace.
Indeed there have been times I wanted this thing to go 50× faster, but of course it's not built for that (that is what the Summit is for). The detail & realism is what makes this one fun.View attachment 31392View attachment 31393

That bronco is bad ass. If it wasnt parked on a pepsi can i migbta mistook it for an actual bronco.That is precisely why I took a very quick liking to the Traxxas Summit.
