    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.

    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

    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..

    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.

    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?

    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

    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"

    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?

    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..

    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

    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?
    http://fightercatracing.com/index.ph...emart&Itemid=1
    this one on 8s could be a better runner
    http://fightercatracing.com/index.ph...emart&Itemid=1
    and this one could kick some tush on 16s ( my 4s race packs in series )
    http://fightercatracing.com/index.ph...emart&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..

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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..
    Do you know what the biggest problem with the world is?

    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!!!
