Default VENON CREEPER - Pros & Cons

I'm trying to get my first creeper and I see that few folks on the board have or have recommended the Venom Creeper as a decent crawler.
How good is the Creeper and how does it stack up to say an AXIAL AX-10 or maybe a LNC?

THANX

Out of the box my creeper outperformed my buddies Axial and with a few homebrew mods he is far behind me now!!! Stage 2 mod by far the biggest improvement!!! Add a set of rovers and you got a very capable crawler!!!

Can you explain what a "Stage 2 mod" is? I have seen this several times and being a newb, im not sure what it is or means?

Thanx!

Look on www.ckrccrawlers.com . You can find it under the creeper parts page.

stage 2 changes some of the link and shock geometry, stiffer shocks, etc. So far seems to be mostly to fix torque twist(when the hole body twists under acceleration) and lower the center of gravity. I have my own 'home brewed' one, others do the same. Helped my torque twist a good amount so far.
