Copying the Axial green? Bah..

Not much of a fan of Venom products. I know their batteries suck and I know not many people are fond of their 1:16th scale stuff; maybe this had a little more R&D put into it than their other products.. It at least looks like it can crawl decently well.

Actually their batteries are quite good. Great for the EZ start and the Slash(its my friend's batt). Their planes are nice...the Micro Park Fighters, they fly like a dream.

Obviously your friend hasn't used anything but Venom in his Slash. Their discharge rate for even their highest quality cells barely matches that of mid-range cells by other companies. Being a Traxxas owner I'm surprised he doesn't know this; all they ever do over on Monster.Traxxas is boo Venom and their terrible cells. Can't blame them.. my 3600mAh by Venom is amung my least favorite to use, the only thing it beats in my bin is Sanyo.

No donzii, he doesn't have a Slash, I sometimes use it in my Slash. Ok from another forum, the ARTR Price is $229. Pretty good if you ask me.

It looks a lot like the Axial though. At least the axle shape like the knuckles etc.
But remote locking differentials? How cool!

Although what I said was mainly I joke, I was a little surprised to see Venom use a green as their major attraction color, which is the same as Axial. However, color doesn't really matter as long as it's a good platform to start with.
