Venom/Atomik New 58 Inch Electric Catamaran

[forescott]

Id swap out that t-120 to a 180 at minimum. Keep the prop small. Stock is 50mm I read in the manual. And keep a close eye on the heat. Might even be worth it to open up the hatch a little to get some air circulating in there, and seal up the speed control in the radio box. Or coat it real good with corrosion X.

I've got a few of those decals.
I don't get why anyone would buy any Venom boat, or boat products.

Notice you haven't curbed anyone's enthusiasm for our boats?
Folks buy Venom and will continue to. If you stepped back and looked at the threads you're doing this on, its not making you, or FE look good to newbies
Give it a rest man..

FYI: Atomik A.R.C 58" RTR Electric Boat

"This 58” RTR Electric boat is the first large-scale factory electric that out performs it’s gas counterparts. Not to mention, no smelly gas or tedious engine tuning.

The Atomik design team pulled out all the stops with a whopping 2000 watts of brushless electric power out of the stock 1100Kv outrunner mounted in a water-cooled CNC aluminum motor mount. All that power is controlled with a robust 120A water-cooled ESC for a 40+ mph out of the box top speed.

The hand-laid fiberglass hull features full color Atomik racing color scheme protected by a durable gel coat, pre-installed laser cut radio box and battery tray system, which will accompany a single 6S (22.2V) LiPO battery, but is also expandable for up to a 12S configuration. The A.R.C also comes standard with CNC Aluminum running hardware and the fully adjustable Flexdrive system for precise trim tuning."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. NO WAY this is VENOM. My converted Venom gasser is tough as a mule. Turns almost as well too. JIM

Jim, you're a positive boater. I see you. I like your positive attitude. The eyes are on you for sponsorship recommendation NO PROMISES but I like the way you roll..

I was thinkin leopard 5692 around 1000kv on 8s with a 240a speedy.

This quote below does crack me up a bit:

It is a good lookin' hull...............with some TLC, fiber inlay reiforcement, and a 5692 it would be a nice boat........probably a 55 mph jobby.

This boat is most likely targeted for those that want big but dont need huge speed(the well-to-do white collar guy gettin' out on the weekend), we on this Forum tend to always go for the big speed...........racing.................SAW........ etc.

The boat could definitely use some more HP for the experienced boater, but as you said its targeted after the weekend warrior.
I've never bough an rc model and expected to run the stock stuff in it for too long personally. When I get involved with the power systems it will be a different story and its in the works..
As the most travelled FE racer in the country, I have rarely seen ANY production RTR boats used in SAW OR Racing unless its a designated club class for that particular boat. SAWS almost never.

Your constructive opinion without bashing is appreciated thank you.
Affective way of providing feed back.

Dont send me crybaby PM's asking me to stop posting if you want to TRY to antagonize me.
Did you taddle yet?

On topic...
What gets me is that Venom chooses the use THE cheapest possible components to make the boat move. I cant wait to see how much M.S.R.P is on this thing.
Buying it to upgrade is ridiculous. The cost involved would be double than if you were to buy a quality hull and build yourself. Every bit of gear in and on this boat would have to go to hold up to the necessary power to move it well.
What is Atomik's warranty policy for FE boats?

Dear Rumdog?

Indeed in all humillity I asked you to stop following my every post with nagativity in a PM as any self respecting person would do.
I realize you need to make a name for yourself "typing to hear the keys click", but not off my winning name. I have no more response to your bitterness.

I do feel sorry for anyone with such pent up anger. I hope things get better for ya'.
No I didn't "tattle" on you, you're doing an EXCELLENT job yourself of projecting an image : )

I love my image. Its the one you see in my avitar.

Actually no, Make a wake criticized tasteful and constructively and I commended him.
Not trashing any members, no need to sir.

[Rumdog]

Ooooookaaay.
I guess I'm not allowed to share my opinion. Only the guy from venom. Soo... Got any real info, or just a pic. Care to answer my warranty question? Seems be such a self proclaimed hot shot and working to rep venom you should be involved in the r&d behind this boat, no? So tell me... Why the cheapest smallest possible electronics?

Boat has been in the works since before I was involved with that end.
What warranty questions do you have?

[Brushless55]

Folks buy Venom and will continue to. If you stepped back and looked at the threads you're doing this on, its not making you, or FE look good to newbies
Give it a rest man..

many have stopped buying venom because of there rudeness and some of there crap products that they relable and sell at 100%+ markup

Carl? ( he is a smart guy and does great builds )
wow, you side step the obvious, and pat yourself on the back at the same time??
just like venom did in the past... and the reason for the name change...
you have lost out on many occasions to build value in this product, and choose to take things personal and talk smack about members of OSE for making there God given right to post a comment, good or bad...
you came into this thread with a first post commenting about what another member said, and not building value in the actuall product itself...

now sell this boat or stop telling others what they can and cannot say about it!
everyone has a right to comment

I think Ben at Fighter Cat sells the same motor and esc for much less than what these guys sell for..???
infact, I might buy one of the motors he sells (540kv version) and try that sucker on 15-16s in my Rio51z

I appreciate your opinion, but refuse to directly respond to the things you are saying.
Again, I don't want to tarnish my winning reputation or years of hard work on this forum weather baited or not.

Fortunately there is a majority who appreciates my contribution.
Any constructive inquiries will be gladly answered by me.

Venon make crappy products, they are usually out of stock of critical replacement parts, and they are built to a price, in which will usually be Too cheap

having said that, what they have done, is actually got a lot of people into the hobby.
People buy their boats, realize that boating is fun, and it gives them somthing to consider when they build their next boat.
I know a lot of people who originally bought a venom boat for their first boat, and now are doing the "build your own"
