Somebody has an ego...
Congratulations on the radio controlled photo shoot playa...lol

What does the warranty say about a smoked esc? Smoked motor? Failed driveline?
What type connector is on the esc?

[BILL OXIDEAN]

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"

I race at a national level and have zero problem attaining podium finishes with Venom products.
In my experience, its been "intermediate" boaters who complain over minor/petty things in Venom boats.
Experienced boaters know not to expect SAWS durability in a production boat and glass in, or beef up what needs be..

[Rumdog]

So... what Venom boats are you racing? Venom supplied motors, esc's, hardware, hulls?
We all know you race.
Us intermediate boaters are dying to know..

[Brushless55]

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. you Bill are the one running your mouth about a members comments, and not building value of this venom boat

Fortunately there is a majority who appreciates my contribution. ( only shows massive arrogance )
Any constructive inquiries will be gladly answered by me.

WOW!
what a load of crap..
your head is so full that you cant even admit to your bull $hit!
you have once again turned me far away from venom!
all on a thread you did not start, but had to butt in

Whoa!! Bunch of posts since i left...............

Anyways, I just try to post as honestly and factually as I see things, thats all really..............

As an example, looking at the ESC, I would be VERY surprised if it wasnt a T120a..................if thats the case, then it is a bit pricey................I still think the boat looks good and could use some more power, but i looks like it could be ran fairly hard in stock form if not overpropped as the big outrunner looks pretty beefy and should have alot of grunt at 1100kv...............

I'm not recommending it nor am I not recommending it..................just callin' it as I see it...............cuz I like boats

[ozzie-crawl]

They should have dropped one of those motors in each sponson. Added cost for a manufacturer for a extra motor/esc/strut/prop would be 30-40 bucks but make it a much better boat imo.

I think this is the same motor but with a little different wind?

this one on 8s could be a better runner

http://fightercatracing.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=124&category_id=11&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

and this one could kick some tush on 16s ( my 4s race packs in series )

http://fightercatracing.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=300&category_id=11&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

and I think Bens price is only about 60bucks

twins would be fun, and I agree on the added cost for them would be minimal..

If venom wants to send me one i will test it for them :-)

[Doby]

Just watched the video........it seems to ride well on the rear pads and no waaa waaa seen on some cats. Actually cornered decently on the calm water....

Its pretty,,,, if it does around 35mph or so, looks like it could be a fun boat for someone wanting to get into "big" FE....as long as the reliability is there....time will tell. If Venom wants to send one to Canada, I'll put it through its paces and report back!!!

[Darin Jordan]

I think some of you need to relax, and maybe back off of Bill... These are RTR boats... none of them are perfect, and many of you have NO IDEA just how much give and take goes into actually getting one of these to market. You don't want to know, trust me!

Take these boats for what they are, evaluate what you want, and go on from there. Bashing the messenger isn't going to get us anywhere. We need MORE boaters and MORE people racing together, not polarization.

[Rumdog]

Nobody was doggin Bill till he felt the need to PM me and tell me that I have no right to post my opinion on Venom boats, and that if I kept being such a big jerk that he'd taddle on me. He's gonna push the product, so he can at least answer questions, right?


Instead...... it's ego time.

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.

Ok Girls! could we all grow up and keep our silly egos in check?.
i always thought this forum was about FE and not about personal attacks. if you all will like to take it any further i can provide the Gloves and venue to continue.
What a shame. i have learn very little from this posting..

ego gets these guys everytime
not sure if anyone has seen who actually started this thread, cuz it sure was not the so called venom messenger...

Tastefully put. Great overlook from someone who appreciates boats.
