is the summit ugradible to the velineon 3500 brushless motor

I've hear of the E-MAXX upgrading to velineon 3500 but not Summit. Thanx for asking!

You have to put a castle creations mamba monster 2 with esc. Then you will have a brushless motor setup.

It is a huge upgrade. I took velineon out and installed this, now my slash wheelies!!!

You can manually put motor into v2 instead of v3. That is another weakness of this set up, but one wich does not affect me that's why I didn't mention it in my review.

no this is not brushless, there is a sopt where you can change the brushes out on the side of the motor. Has been a great saw so far way more power and faster starts than the dewalt 18v i had on lone from my brother inlaw

Anything new is going to be a brushless motor. I would compare the emax with another traxxas truck the Revo. The Revo seems to be more stable for cornering. Check out Lipo batteries too, they last longer and makes the truck way faster.

If you use a 3cell lipo this will be faster than the velineon. It will generate heat. If you pound on this motor with a 3 cell you will probably go into thermal. Most people would use a 2 cell with the motor however I would not. None of my cars are spec cars.

You need the VXL speed control as well, a brushless motor will not run with the brushed speed control you have in your bandit.

Yes. This is designed for brushed motors only. A brushless ESC will have 3 wires for the motor and a brushed ESC has only 2.

it should, but I don't know if there is any spacial battery bay to fit a second battery in a summit. In case it fits, you would have 2x of runtime.

Using it on velineon 3500 brushless with both 3s 5200mah and a 2s without any problems, but the fan is being powered from the receiver tap.

Brushless motors have more power. Also you don't have to replace the brushes when they ware out over time.

Yes. The two brushed motors can later be changed for a single brushless. Will need a speed control also and about a 2150 kv brushless motor for 1/8 scale. At the time I researched, it was around $150 to do this.

I don't know. The manufactures site does not mention it, so my guess is no. Note all the above ground motors are the same standard efficiency. The two speed would make it more energy efficient.

No, a RimFire 400 Outrunner brushless motor will need to be purchased separately.

Yes as long as your using a brushless motor. It's a nice esc perfect for your application

You do need the following, A soldering or heat shrink to connect the esc to the batteryYou need a usb programer, if u want an easy way to program the esc without have to use the manual wayIf your upgrading from brushed to brushless, you gonna need to change pinion gear and spur gear to different size. Otherwise the esc will get hot and u have to wait for it to cool down.Lastly u need some type connector between esc and battery, i recommend ec5 connector for better performance

This version at the price it is asking for is most likely brushed. You can start there and if you want more speed/power traxas makes a conversion mount for a brushless motor. All that to say the brushless motor version of this usually starts in the 700$ range if not more.
