Are you near a river? driftwood - old, gnarly, dried out logs and such. Out on the pacific coast where I am we generally curse all the driftwood along the beaches and shores, but crawling with the...
I think I'll be fine once I get the replacements in. I think I was just one of the unlucky ones who got the bad parts with my summit. My tires don't have the raised letters as well, so I guess I...
I rebuilt my front Differential with the replacement part 5678, went out, drove for 30 minutes, and then broke the rear part 5678...:mad:
down for another weekend...
This exact thing happened to me yesterday as well, with a pebble in the spur gear.. check that first before spending a lot of time tearing apart the transmission (like I did :o ) the most miniscule...
That is a bummer..
I just got done rebuilding my front end tonight from a broken 5678 last weekend. It is unfortunate that all of these differentials are breaking, but Traxxas is doing a good job...
checkout wingtote.com.. they have big duffle style bags designed for 1/8 scale and monster trucks...
You'll need 2mm, 2.5mm, and 3mm allen drivers. the kind with the ball ends are nice 'cause you can get some angles that a strait driver won't.
I think they may be part of what you get with 5314 when you order it. if you look at that part on buytraxxas.com it comes with a lot of the other parts that attach to it.. I'm not sure if the parts...
Blue Summit in Edmonds, Washington (Near Seattle)
I found my heaven for crawling - the driftwood along the shores of puget sound.. Huge, gnarly logs strewn up and down the shore, some half buried...
I'm starting to see holes as well, and I'm just about 5 hours into mine. I have to call traxxas first thing monday because I just broke part 5678 today (again, after just 5 hours) <_< ... I'm...
Just day 2 for me and I just broke it front driver's side.. I was doing some heavy duty crawling and bashing though.. but if this was just a "Bad Batch" of that part like I've seen explained in...

Thanks.. yes it does appear normal now after a few runs... It's not so hot that I cannot touch so I think I'm just being too over-cautious.
What a great truck... I can't wait to drive some...
Hey there... I just got my blue Summit today.. Lovin' it! I've been browsing this forum for a month now getting ready so I'd be prepared for what to expect... this is my first RC in a long time,...
I used to live down in Covington - I'm in Edmonds now... the quarry out in Covington near HWY 18 would be a great place to go for bashing or crawling... I didn't have RC trucks when I lived there,...
