I am having problems though and was after some help.
The truck starts running, slooooowly and then just stops. The red led single flashes. From the manual this signals low voltage protection.

Ok here is my setup for reference -
gearing 13/58 (running big canyon tyres for now)
Packs - 14 cell 3000mah NIMH. The traxxas ones that came with the Summit.

I tried running it on the Summit's low range diff and it still does the same thing, I am pretty sure my gearing is ok. From calcs it should give me about 27mph which doesn't seem over-geared.

Not sure if the esc is the problem....... I am hoping somebody will tell me my packs are rubbish and wait for the 4s lipos to arrive.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Check your ESC battery settings. I believe the default is for LIPO. Since you are using NIMH it may be whats causing the problem. Change the setting and see what happens.
