Default Sick of waiting for a dig unit

I'm about to say the heck with it and build a berg or my own shafty with a r2d tranny, this is crazy.

how many units do they need to sell to justify the dig for the rest of us. Venom has said they have some they are testing and have had to comps,
I want one too,you can't test them once every couple weeks and expect to find anything out. Get them out there and LET US TEST THEM FOR YOU !!! everyone drives differant so you need to test them with differant people and differant locations ( differant rocks, differant reaction from dig)

they should know we will tell em whats wrong and whats not.


sorry ,I had to vent ,just so frustrated I could just throw the damn creeper in the trash if it wasn't so damn good at everything else



anyone else feel this way????????????

Lots of dig options for an Axial tranny. Best options out there IMHO. DNA,Vanquish and Eritex all make a really nice dig units that are proven.

I hear ya!!! I love the way i have mine set up, but the reverses always get me when im in a jam!!

Yeah yeah... i know about the shaft dig option, but its not what im looking for!

If Venom would chop chop on the dig they might see a few more of these rigs fly off the shelf!!

I will hang on for a bit longer, but my new SSS Axial rig is giving me that look!!

yeah he is sending me one, but still ,you think Venom would want there's out there. I used to tell people to get a venom, not any more, I tell them to get an axial cuz they got everything you need for them.
If venom wants to sell more rigs they need to get out into the comps around the country, not just there local ones. I've been competeing with mine, impressed alot of people with it I think, but everone knows they have no factory dig, I've been doing pretty good I think, so is it me or the rig that is good? Without dig I am starting to think I must be a damn good driver

If it is taking so long to develope the dig, then come up with a skid plate and mod parts for an aftermarket dig (dna, rc4wd, ect) maybe that won't take so long.

The creeper is a great rig, JUST NEED THE DIG UNIT, and I think I could put it in the top ten maybe better in my club( curantly 40+ strong).Hell without it I was 19th in the spring series. You just can't get negative #'s when you have to back-up all the damn time......

(still venting, sorry)

sincerly:
soon to be EX- venom driver

P.S. maybe I'll give it to my 8 yr old son to play with,maybe they will have it ready by the time HE"S ready to compete. NOT

Scram8, I've seen your ride,very nice. Like I said ,it's a great rig ,just needs dig.

I'm thinking of going with another chassis,I won a RC4WD R2 with disconnect at a comp and would like to use it, might just get a chassis and swap the creeper parts out. But then is it really a creeper or just some creeper parts.(who's stickers do I put on it,lol)

Just a word on the dig unit...yes its coming, of course we want to release it, no it's not vaporware...lol
We have tested a couple units in Comps and there have been some improvements made to the production designs. I'm sure several of you guys have seen the unit in action this summer

Also there are no deposits or prepay's if you ordered the Dig Unit directly from us. We only hold a persons order until a product has arrived and has shipped then the account is charged. We do not hold anyone's money until the product has shipped. You can verify this with your bank or credit card company. On the other hand if you made a deposit to a hobby shop then they are holding your funds not Venom. We are on a payment in full / COD basis with all dealers so everything is paid for when product is available and can be shipped.

We appologize for the wait on the Dig Unit, there have been some unanticipated delays and we are doing what we can to get the product here ASAP.

Thanks,

All we have been hearing is its coming. Is there an expected release date for this dig or is it coming in a year from now. Sorry for sounding PO'd but just tired of the smoke and mirrors on this dig.
