Traxxas have updated their Revo-based Summit all-terrain monster truck. The 4WD truck with remote locking differential, transmitter-operated high-low transmission and 2.4GHz radio system with 5-channel transmitter now sports a new body shell design with changed graphics for an all-new 2012 look combined with Traxxas own TQ 2.4GHz 4-channel radio system. The 775-brushed motor powered truck comes in four new designs one of which is a stunning Kawasaki livery that is only available through Kawasaki dealers in the US.

Don't need brushless, already have it.  Need black beadlocks (which they don't make) to go with my Bronco '73 body :)

That Kawasaki body is weird (what's the point??) but pretty cool though.

Kawasaki body body has been avalible in the America for a while now. Not sure how long though.
Would go nice with a brushless system, but still awesome though!!
