The Venom is no different from any other box stock rig. There are parts that need to be changed during the initial build to make it comp worthy but it is very stable for a basher rig right out of the box.
My sticky at the top has a ton of info in it on what parts need to be changed.
My build thread has 3 or 4 tons of info in it about testing and set up and the mods Ive made to mine...Ive run 2.2Pro and currently run 2.2 Sportsman as often as I can in competition. The Creeper is a viable comp rig if modified correctly.
Reading is fundamental in this hobby. There are hundreds of threads covering every topic you can think of....especially "How good is it?"
Tires...chassis'...driveshafts...and everything else. The search button will tell you everything you need to know...and if you have trouble with search terms then try reading a thread or at the very least try skimming it.
The biggest thing about the Creeper is this....you will either love it..or you will hate its plastic and metal guts with a passion.
This is something that has always bothered me...not just the NEWBIES get ripped for asking questions that have already been asked...if you dont take the time to read something that has already been answered then why should someone else take the time to tell you? Ive seen guys with hundreds of posts ask what kind of tires are those 4 pages into a thread that has the brand and size/type of tires listed in the first post...and these guys get thier butts handed to them. This isnt a bash the newbie for being a newbie thing...its a respect thing...people take a lot of time to type out text and download pics and give people the answers they need without having to ask...then someone comes along and asks a question that all of the info and pics answers. Its a slap in the face really...but why is it that people assume that a newbie question is something other than what it is...a newbie question. No one wants to be the newbie in anything...and some people avoid this by doing a ton of research and then asking the question that hasnt been answered...other people come online and browse the first page of the forum and ask what they dont see....its ususally a page or two back but its there. If someone wants to really ask the oldest of NEWBIE questions ie: How good is it? then find the last newbie posted thread that asks the same question and like you assume was his angle, ask this, " Has anyone's opinion/s changed about thier Creeper?" I always wind up defending myself when I ask or tell some new guy to read the forum or do a search because some other newbie wants to rush in to his rescue and tell how Newbies are always bashed...and its usually someone who just joined and has little or no experience with the way these forums run....just saying. Now before you or anyone else get all offended by my statement/s...consider this...I have countless hours some into the midnight hours typing out info for people to read so they can make thier Creeper better...have you read the entire sticky I wrote at the top of the main page?...have you read my entire thread-on the creeper wagon? if not then do...and while you do keep track of how much time it takes to compile an understanding of what I have wrote and posted in both threads...then read chappy's...then read viper's, creeperbob's, lazynocturnal's, venomcrawlerdud's, charlieIII's and a few other's. As long as it takes you to read these threads completely is only half the time it took us to write them and edit them and make them available to you...
