I just checked the stock status of the new p-1 on venoms site. It previously said "TBD" (to be determined). Now it says LATE DECEMBER!??? I have been anxiously awaiting this boat since I placed my order in March. This is ridiculous!! :icon_bs:

The miss excite stock status says september! Towers website still says late june for the p-1. If this is true and the stock status gets pushed out again, I'll cancel my order and get the new traxxas boat. I've been trying to give Venom the benefit of the doubt, but they just keep on digging themselves deeper! I need a new boat for summer!

Hopefully December is the date that "venom" will have them for sale from their site, and the first batch will go to the distributors in june. :Praying:

knowing venom's reputation for quality,the boat will probably work better in the snow than on the water anyway........:w00t:

LOL The New Traxxas mono will be available late July. I'm sure it's a much better boat as well. Check the traxxas titan thread.

Read about on another forum a month or so ago, I check out the thread because I'm gonna consider it fer sure.


EDIT;
Just did a bunch of reading and watched a couple videos(repeatedly) and I'm sold on the TRX Titan.
Sorry Venom.
To many cons;
1" shorter
NO 2.4 TX/RX
Warrantee is lack luster compared to TRX legendary suck your @ss to make you happy warrantee
TRX has some really cool inovative ideas for the hull and system layout
TRX looks to have a better designed BL system, not that It'll stay long befor a serious upgrade .:olleyes:


I dropped my P1 pre order and changed to the Titan @ Horizon:banana:

I am also sooo close to dropping my p-1 pre-order for the titan. But I already bought new power for the p-1 and I just really like the detail of the king of shaves mono.. What to do????

I was mixed at first also, I eventually seen clear to the TRX being better designed,better customer service availibility and the BL ccombo is of higher qaulity. Maybe you'll see this yourself, the new power you bought could just as easily work in the TRX boat ??
A lot guys seem to have a lot of faith in the TRX BL motor, I've had a few of the 540 sized 3500kv ones for the TRX 1/10 scale cars/trucks. Well, there "OK" motors. They're not real efficent and once they get 160degrees they are never the same again. A higher qaulity BL motor can handle a couple bouts of temps that high.
I will run my stock motor at first then experiment and see what gets better with some tinkering. The motor will be the first thing.

Hey guys.
Tower is saying mid july too. Does anyone have any idea what prop would work good on this, It looks like a glass 3 blade on it. I have no idea what size/pitch to order. All I know is that the X642 did wonders for the fastech. It says the ESC can handle 6s. Do you think we could run 2 3S lipos and upgraded prop for some good speeds? Yea, that traxxas looks great too. I just have a thing for Fountains.

Venom p-1 stock status update.... has been pushed out to mid-august. Cant say I'm suprised. However I am suprised the Miss Excite stock status changed from mid-september to late july?? Does that mean this month, or next year??

Email update...

Hello Scott,
I apologize for the delay but I am pretty sure we are not going to see the first shipment of these boats arrive until early/mid September. We are pushing as hard as we can to get these in as soon as possible but it may still be a little while longer.


Thank you
