Default Venom "Punisher" build-up

I purchased a used VMG from a member of this site, and will chronicle the build-up in this thread, as well as my site. It'll be called the Venom Punisher.

My son (official owner/driver of the Punisher) was stickering the body. He found some Venom stickers and some Lundsford Punisher stickers (among many others, he is 7) and came up with the same "Venom Punisher". I always save extra stickers left over, and have a big selection.


Here it is pictured with my highly modified VMG.

The new one will be similar to the green one, and the green one is going more extreme. I will be using the new one as a test bed for newly developed parts, as I come up with them, as well as being my sons basher rig.

If you want to get one, now is the time, as long as Venom is still dumping thier overstock, they are extremely cheap!

Trike, I have heard you can use Mini-T shafts as well, those are usually in stock at my LHS. I am sure you will cut and stretch them anyway, so length really doesn't matter much.

dont you need VMG ends? I heard that the Mini-T shafts eat drive cups. And I figure on the VMG shafts being cheaper. I'm on a very tight buget.

You might be right, I don't have a Mini-T one to compare to. I haven't looked around, but VMG shafts might be harder to find.

Not to get too far off-topic, but who needs html anymore? I have been using Microsoft FrontPage for years, ever since it came out. Geez, maybe 7 years...

My school has computers that still run the original Pentium processor. I had the biggest computer and smallest monitor in my class it had to be about 10 inch. If it was taller the computer could have passed for a mini fridge.
