| Crawlingaround ?
So are you guys going to give a couple of the digs away on the tread as freebies to star holders when they are done? I think its a great idea.... Anyone else? You could do some other crawler stuff tell then? tough times, free is good |

The rod ends are going to be offered as a seperate replacement part, coming real soon guys just hang in there. They are all the new heavy duty design with the angle call out on them. The new rod ends are shipping with the alloy links now so if you do buy them be sure to look for that. I'll post the new part number as soon as I have it.

| new colors for links?
Is Venom planning any other collors for links and wheel rings. I think you should make some chrome, blue,yellow even black. that way we can change em up a little and still use your parts. I know we can make our own links and buy rims, but expand your product line and get more bussiness , IMO Any thoughts on giveaways get more people looking into Venom products? Just some thoughts........... |

Same thing happend to my rear diff. I welded the spyders togeather and I had the front left and the back rear realy bound up trying to get up a transition. About a dozen full trigger pulls with a novak brushless and a 7.2 lipo later I stripped the side of all four gears. Rotated the spiders and re welded it and it's worked fine so far. A lot of people complain that the Creeper is week, but I can atest I beat the crap out of mine and it is just as tuff, if not tuffer, than the built axils and Wheele Kings that I wheel with. Give Venom some credit! Last edited by sil80det; 07-09-2009 at 11:08 PM. |

Those gears could be part of the bad batch we had. We have had no issues with the well heat treated gears. The plastic case is meant to wear and take abuse from the 3 pins. The alloy case option part will just make things much stronger and less prone to wear. The stock part is fine for the average power fun crawling guy. For higher power set ups I do suggest using the alloy parts. The Dig Unit has had some major delays we admit that. I dont have an ETA at this time but it is creeping along...  Chris |

 can you say what is holding up the dig release Chris? does it just need more testing/tweaking or are you guys starting over with design? | |

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.
