This is the new Summit. You can run it quick, or hit a button to lock the diffs and gear down and you can crawl/climb.

Might be a good start.

Sorry whipnet i am on a budget and this is way to much for me to sped. I know that the traxxas rcs are waterproof thats why i am putting the traxxas electronics in the wheely king. I might end up just getting a cheap rtr e-maxx off ebay idk. Most other traxxas are out of the equation because of 2wd like the stampede and slash.
