This is awful! Worst I've ever seen, please send it to me (for disposal) and start over. I'll even pay shipping:ROFLMAO:

Very nice!🍻
Thanks man. This is by far the most durable RC I have used. The Mojave A arms are perfect for a truck this size. I need to find a slightly smaller wheel I think to get better wheel speed when I jump or maybe a set that ballons a little more. I feel like it is lacking a little in the air. I wish I would have done actual build progress updates. I have a Typhon truggy build im going to start soon I can try and do better with haha.
Looks amazing! 😍
Thank you!
WOW! Dare I ask the total $ to put that beast together?

What is the total weight with batteries?

Uhhh... video please? :D

It was a very expensive build for sure. Something I could never post in fears of my wife seeing lol.

Total weight is 12.3LB with a 5000mah 6s battery. My goal was a 10lb truck and I have been thinking of cutting weight and use a 2200kv motor, remove my fans and some bracing since this chassis will never bend. But I have been so pleased and haven't had a RC I can just beat the crap out of and keep running pack after pack after pack in it all day without it getting to hot or having to go home and fix it. So I am just going to leave it as it is for now.. This thing has been a serious beast!

I do have a bunch of videos my kids and I have been recording. Should have some footage soon.



Heads up for anyone thinking of getting a Vitavon bell crank/servo saver combo. don't! They are absolute garbage. The servo saver is so weak. My truck initially could barely turn with the tires on the ground.

I switched it out to the Hotracing bell crank and Basherqueen servo saver and the steering is so strong and quick now with the far superior servo saver. Night and Day difference.

All I can say is WOW! Almost a shame to get any dirt on it 🤪
 
How did I miss this lil beauty.
SUPER COOL!! 🤙
Thanks!! It's gone through a couple rebuilds..

Venoms final and extensive rebuild...

I swapped the castle system out for a Max 6 and 4274 2200kv Hobbywing motor, M2C towers and Kraton shocks, CRCU brace, Kraton arms, Vitavon bulkheads, and a new custom painted body.

The original setup was just way to overpowered and I wasn't happy with its performance. This new setup can run pack after pack and keep bashing. It drives and handles awesome now and is the true definition of a Tank!
