Well this may explain why Castle hasn't released the M.M.M. motors yet, Traxxas got them all for the new Erevo ????

This is definitely awesome, and I would love to have one. But I'm so glad I don't have to, since mine is already brushless.

I absolutely want the Summit, though. Locking diffs, LED lights, perfect body, tires and wheels, 775 brushed motor, water-resistance, and hi/low gearbox? YES PLEASE.

Holy ****, I was all excited when I found out about the bl e revo. Now I see this summit and wow, I really want one! Traxxas has been really kickin A$$ when it comes to comin out with awesome stuff that you want. The slash was killer when it came out, now they finally got it right with the monster powered e-revo with a 2.4ghz system, and now this! I wonder if the 775 motor will hold up better than the 12T 550? I wanted a single motor crawler before for just all out off roading, 4 byin in the mud type of thing. But I heard they were by no means designed for that kind of stuff. This looks more like it. Doubley stoked today. And broke : (

I really wonder if this is a good thing though..
Too many people that know nothing about r/c ing with a 6s sytem...... thinking it will go 60 mph..

2200 kv X 22.2volts =48840RPM

How many of them will be over gearing it and cooking the system. Yes the track record is realy not that good for the MMM but this could realy kill it.

I think it'll be so expensive that 1. only experienced RC who know what they're doing will buy it, or 2. people will be sure to treat it right since they paid so much for it.

Good news is..MAYBE..the MMM combo will be out sooner than we thought!!..Im also excited with the brushless E revo but..I dont think I will be getting one since I have put in so much to my E revo now and all I would need is the right brushless system for it..Castle put them on the shelves NOW!!!
