Welcome to the insanity. Enjoy
A brand new one is only $469.00 see if you can get him to come down to $300 or $350. The batteries and charger help with the pricing but for another $69 I would get a new one with better batteries...
Anyone know if the transmission gearing is the same but locked in low speed and the portals are the same gearing but now locked? I will probably go with a 9t pinion anyway but just curious about the...
just checked it out. I really like the truck body. The price is going to hit it out of the ball park. No 2 speed, full time locking diffs, no inner fenders, Just what a lot of people are after. Looks...
Well as the post title indicates I thought Kershaw was now Novarc. you might email them (open the link above) and see if their going to sell the Dewalt motors like Dan did.
Gearing being the same it...
I put this http://kershawdesigns.com/E-Revo-SingleDeWalt820Conversion.htm on multiple Summits. Works great for the money.
I have used the Savox 1230sg on all my rigs for years. BUT Holmes Hobbies has a great servo.

My experience with brushed motors and larger pinions is you begin to lose the low end crawler ability along with motor heat issues. In my two Defenders I installed the brushless 2700kv and 3500kv...
I bought the Tmaxx a while back for the same reason. I was very disappointed with it and ultimately sold it off. Fun basher but off road was not what i wanted. Would get stuck on every rock and...
I have the exact servos in my two defenders. You need only snip the little ears off on one side and it will accept all 4 screws. DONT snip the entire tab just the little ears. Hopefully that makes...
Get a spare Steering Servo and Steering servo horn. I use the Savox SG 1230 and aluminum horn from Axial. You may also want a spare micro servo for hi/low etc. A lot of stock servo's have burnt out...
Wow nice rig. Im wondering how the modded truck compares to the same modded Defender. Seen on Face book many are saying with the lighter body and shorter wheel base that it performs better. I have...
Got me, hook, line and sinker. :thumbup:
I have tried the Pit Bull Rock Beasts, Hyrax, stock, etc etc. These are my favorite https://www.ottsix.com/ I use the Voodoo KLR's. There foams are really nice also, you can get the different foams...
I use these https://www.horizonhobby.com/startup-tool-set%3A-traxxas-dyn2833 they have a multitude of sizes, both hex wrenches, sockets and screw drivers. its easy to throw in your pocket or bag and...
What size motor KV did you use. I know you left the stock running gear alone but did you leave the stock gearing alone or did you change it. I did the steering servos years ago and went with the...
Probably There have been many failures with the stock steering servo. Traxxas will replace it if it is. Only problem is they replace it with the stock servo. I would just replace it with the Savox...
The stock steering servo is not very reliable. I installed the Savox 1230sg day one. it is plug and play other than the servo you will need a 3 inch extension for the wire. It is 3 times stronger and...
I stopped ordering parts from LHS years ago. If they have it in stock great if not I order direct from Traxxas. I have had great success with them and no problems at all. They are a day or two longer...
Well I have put a Holmes Hobbies 3500kv brushless in mine and with a 3s battery in second gear it gets right along. I would not say it is a basher like my slash or emaxx. I have always trusted the...
Didnt know that. Ill have to find out who took over. Sad about Dan, he really was a good guy and always tried to do right.
If some one has taken over Kershaw after Dans passing and they still make them available it is an awesome upgrade. I have 3 of them installed and never had a problem. They are a little faster but the...
I Dont know if the Kershaw Dewalts and conversion kits are available any more. The owner Dan died a couple months ago and I think the web site is gone. If your traveling that far each time I would do...
I have converted both of my TRX to brushless. I use the analogy that from going from brushed to brushless is like going from NIMH batteries to Lipos. In the grey one I have the Holmes Hobbies BLE esc...
Very capable rig. I have two and have done numerous mods. Great truck don't have any regrets. I would budget some money for a couple of the stock micro servos as spares and I love the Savox 1230sg...
