| Axle Swap... Hmmmm
I've had my Venture since early 2018 and over this time, besides just the cosmetic changes I've made I've done performance mods as well. Servo & radio gear, brushless motor &, ESC, battery re-lo, weighted front mount and of course tires & wheels. And I've really put her through some meat grinder comps. I really dig this truck as it has been tough out of the box and a solid performer out on the trail and rocks. I've yet to do the CVD mod and now that it's time to give her a tear down and R&R I thought I'd do just that. As I dug in I thought that maybe I'd just swap her axles with a set of TFL's that I have. Has anyone taken this route? Shock mounting position is unique to the Venture (top of axle vs behind) as is the BTA steering that I like alot and want to preserve. Might mean I'm getting into more than I want to, but I think I'm going to go through with it. It's what we do right? Any thoughts? Anyone do an axle swap on their Venture?

Good to know. Quote:
x2 I'd either wait for HPI CVDs, but that could be awhile or do the little modding to fit proven and available Ascender CVDs in the HPI axles. | ||
