Holy crap dude!!! You are a mod master!! I just purchased the new summit and love it, you built a tank!! Damn!! Nice work brother! Wow

[dslpwr]

Wow nice! So glad I found your channel. I just picked up my new Summit so have been searching for info. I will be watching your videos many times! Thanks!

[MrNate]

Sick build man. I'm building a summit and love watching videos like this!

[sdy]

Man, I hate to be unoriginal, especially in r/c, but I'm using your Summit as a template for mine because you are spot on the mark, my friend! Stellar and prodigious throughout!

[Manguerah]

I'm new to rc and I just bought this bad boy and I appreciate you making this video. Really helping me learn about what I can do with it. Thank you!! I can't wait to mimick this build!

[allenpowell]

The hot glue inside the bulkheads really helped alot!

[tommygunz]

Your on a whole other level man I'm blown away I thought I knew what I was doing when it comes to rc cars and trucks I was definitely schooled by this video!! Thanx for the post very well spoken and presented would have loved to have seen a road run!!

[bigbubbafox]

I was stuck on what truck I wanted but after watching your video I am definitely getting a summit, so thank you sir

[nomusicrc]

I just bought a summit yesterday you have a great video I like how you show what you did and then a picture of it when you were talking about servos I think you said dole instead of dual for the servos I like how you showed how everything thing worked

[bigsky]

how I wished I wouldn't of come across your me wanting to upgrade my summit!!! Very nice mods! Nice work!

[wavygravy]

Outstanding! I am still running my Summit since they first came out. I have a lot of mods too. Mainly skid plates and a DeWalt drill motor. Time to go brushless.

[Norcalwheeling]

Just picked up a used Summit. Your video just gave me huge inspiration to start modding. Good job dude.

[xplosive_rc]

Absolutely phenomenal 👌🏻 this was very well done, and loved the diversity of your truck

[SaltLakeCityUCE]

You did a great job on this Summit and this video; I like how you compare and contrast different products and ideas. The Summit is one of my favorite trucks. Your meticulous attention to detail is awesome. If you keep going with your approach, you're headed to Formula one. Keep up the good work.

[PatJeeno]

That’s one badass looking Summit right there

[SWEETMONSTER]

summit has always been my dreem rc! the amount of fun u can have with it it's just amazing.
love the build! most impressive ive seen so far

[theRCelement]

Man I love that red bull body! Great job! Looks sharp man

[Onkelrico]

Very nice built. Aluminum in all the right places. I don’t understand folks who convert everything to aluminum thinking that it’ll make the truck more durable.

[alexha]

You've done justice to that vehicle. Very well done

[cwthemachinist]

Wow, amazing work on the truck and the video!! The Summit is sick!
