I'm surprised you're getting that much performance out of a Venom battery. Since I never really cared for the Venom cells, I never really looked much past my 3600mAh 6-cell. What's the rating for your 7-cell?

Have you tried lowering the trucks stance? I see you like to try to take that sweeping turn at a high clip, but the height of your chassis is hindering you from doing that. If you were to lower the front to the other position and the back to a different position (if you look, there are many choices in the rear... :lol:), you'll probably be able to take that corner at full clip. Lowering also wouldn't hinder your ability to perform offroad since you really aren't going over too many obsticles and your street curbs are very rounded and easy to get up. Try it, you may like your increased handling and the better response. If not, it's a swap of four screws. :lol:

Ok. I'm done talking. Lol. Nice video, nice truck; they're a lot of fun, eh? :bigwink:
