Once you see it I know you'll be impressed.

Has Eli's idea been presented to Venom yet? If so maybe someone can let us in on it.

Sean take a look at mine, it's under my thread. Not as bulky as the others I've seen, very clean looking and does not hang down like the others

reptileg9uy7 · 05-21-2009, 08:58 PM

Havnt been able to find it anywhere but does anyone know if the dig unit will work with a 2 pos 3rd channel like on the dx3s?

Dark8ngel · 05-22-2009, 05:44 AM

Reptile:

The factory dig is not out, but a home made shaft dig willl work with a 2 pos switch.

I snapped 2 pins awhile back (better the pin then the stub axel or drive shaft

) and I started using some airplane linkage rod I had lying around.

Any solid rod you can find that is the same size, just snip to size with cutters.

i been using piano wire .078 for the last 2 weeks with no problems.

1\4elliptic toy · 05-22-2009, 03:19 PM

Thats a good mod right there, I started using piano wire a few months back..plenty strong until you can order pins from venom...works in a pinch for sure.

Many thanks to Chris and Paul at Venom... got my parts and am rolling again.

Because of Venom's great customer service I am planning on buying a King Of Shaves gasser boat.

Thanks again guys!

Took about 9 days but only because Im north of the border. Great customer service compared to other companies Ive dealt with.

Thanks guys for the support we appreciate it very much. Yes we regret the delay with the Dig Kit and we are working to get this done as quickly as we can. For those of you who happened to be at the MSD Tamiya Scale event in Montana I was there with a preproduction Dig unit testing it in the comp on Sunday so it does exist and it does work. Production at this level can be tricky and time consuming so without going into details I hope you can imagine what it takes.

NOTE: do not use a lubricant that has aggressive or harsh chemicals on the plastic transmission gears or the plastic VCD's. Try silicone based lubricants instead.
