Venom Re-Brands to Atomik

[BILL OXIDEAN]

Good Morning Gents,


Venom brand as you know it has been re-branded to Atomik.
That's right, Venom will still be there, but batteries and chargers Only.
All the boats from King of Shaves, to miss Excite to our new Atomik 6s Catamaran

Bill... You need to get one of those 58" FE Cats and set it up for T-Offshore!

Man, you put 2 and 2 together quick on that one lol
Something tells me you factored in the release date in correspondence to the nats in your equasion.
I dunno man, those T-offshores seem awfully fast. Heck, I'd give it a whirl, I've already got the 6s bricks.

Twin Novak systems? That's be fun..

Wonder why the name change?

All positive changes.
Refinement of the different lines is part of it.
Due to its success Venom is now strictly batteries and charging equipment.

Hopefully they step it up a few notches. Their rtr offerings for boats, especially FE have been junk!

Bill... Think of it more in terms of getting a podium, rather than taking the overall... There are currently only 4-people entered in the class... :D I don't know how Jim drives... but the other three are good and going to have FAST stuff... But... they have to finish to win! :D

Would be a fun experience either way....

I knew this was comin' Let's keep the thread positive sir.
Any concerns you have with quality would be appreciated input to the R&D team.
Give us a call, or send an email. Much more affective than posting it here.

I will be active in the design and production of some upcoming products.
Anything I'm behind will be quality and FAST : )

Cumon Jordan, quit teachin these folks me strattegy lol
Does sound fun though. I want to put something sparkly on it. Sparkly stuff looks KILLER on race boats in the sun.

I had my supervee decked out in sparkly decals, it looked epic at the 2010 nats!

Do you have any more footage or pics of the A.R.C.? I assume its based on the KOS/Segad Hull?

I currently Have The KOS and EKOS and have been pleased with the quality at that price point.

Indeed sir it is. basically, you will be getting the gas KOS hull converted to electric clad in all Atomik paint scheme.
Because of your humble request, I will ask my race manager for any more photos. possibly the interior. No promises, but I certainly will ask.

[BILL OXIDEAN]

NEWSFLASH! My race manager just emailed me and said he gets back in the office tomorrow and will snap some shots for me to post!!

Possibly the very reason one would do a name change to get away from all the bad crud in the past...
I know venoms customer service was very bad and even had the customer name blame going on with them...

No reason to change a name if you have a great company to begin with

Now if someone could post the Hobbyking motor that's in this cat, that would be sweet! :)
Cuz that's only 60bucks or so....
May try it in my Rio51z for kicks

You insist upon posting negative things on my thread even when asked constructively not to..
Folks like you are GREAT for the hobby. Trying to divert consumers to buy overseas from hobby king instead of supporting an American brand.
I guess sometimes its better to let folks show how much respect they have for the boating community.
Carry on Brushless..

Bill, when the name change procedure is completed, I assume Atomik will still carry parts for Venom products, another words we will have spare parts support for Venom labeled boats? All the left over items at Tower Hobbies I wonder which name they will be sold under? Not trying to get into this argument, but I personally have had great experience with Customer service, I wish the best for all of us.
