    2 4s packs in that thing and you'll see- you cant handle more than that.

    Well, supposedly Venom got their shipment in on the 11th, and is suppose to immediately turn around and ship them out to fill their orders. I heard current shipment numbers were just over 100 (1300 if I remember correctly). Im curious as to whether or not all the hype made this boat that popular and the late pre-orders wont get filled until the next batch of boats cross the pond..

    Yea, thats what I can to find out. The guy I talked to at Venom said the motors will handle 4S with a stock sized metal prop, but thats pushing it. Regardless, I plan to make mine do 60mph before long

    I wish... It supposed to be sometime next week, but Venom's past release dates dont inspire a whole lot of confidence in me

    From RC Universe...
    Hey Guys-
    Sorry about that. The boats arrived Wed and have been shipping. The look killer with the updated decals. Our video boat is ready to go so we'll get some video for you ASAP.

    I expect like the hydras it will be OK on 6s but with a low KV 6s motor not the motor that comes with it, the stock KV is good for 3 or 4s but with 4s the ESC is a bit low on the amp rating around 100A would be much safer props may be an issue with 4s though as even in a twin 42s will be much too big and 30s too small.

    MAN, I'm actually excited for you! What a delay! Hopefully they're all they're cracked up to be by Venom! It's definately beautiful.

    Yeah, I am excited too. It came somewhat as a surprise as I purchased it back in June and stopped checking on it because it was... July... late July... Aug... etc.

    I was just getting ready to leave for the lake cabin (and do the lubricants testing with the UL-1) when I received the email notice that it was being sent.

    Naturally I decided to wait for it.

    After that video, I'm feeling better already...

    It looked faster than I expected with those small props.
