Default Finally ordered Venom Creeper

Yesterday I finally ordered my Venom Creeper kit (green) and Remote Diff Lock as well.

Last year I got a New Bright Rubicon which was fun to use and then started cutting it up to make it better, but it has its limits.

Now I can't wait to build and use a real RC crawler, might have to use the existing NB jeep body to replicate my existing real world Jeep/crawler

nice! I love my 55T/rooster! The included pinion IMO didnt give me enough wheel speed with the 55T so I moved up to a bigger pinion (forgot what it was) but i went up a couple teeth and is now WAYYY better.

The Novak combo is great.. but i would suggest a different servo. After killing my venom high torque servo i bought a hi-tec high torque servo from the LHS and its so much better. Its not that much more $ than the venom, and in my opinion is a much better servo. It's worth checking out.

congrats on the kit.
