Official venom factory support thread

So far... so good with my build. My only gripes are that the diffs seem a little crunchy... tight, and i had to file down the keyed end of a axle shaft to get it to fit.
 
Chris thanks for the info. I actually finally got a hold of someone yesterday. Bought the kit friday found the issues saturday and was hoping it would be a quick fix over the weekend. I took some pictures of the problem and forward it on to customer service. I also found the problem to be not so much with the bent pings but the bushing the ring slides over. it was way to tight and binding. i sanded the bushing down a little and have gotten the rear diff to lock. this seems to be a temorary fix. Ill work with customer service to get the complete fix.
 
Customer service

I just emailed customer service about an issue I have and got a response within 5 minutes taking care of it. I am glad I went with Venom even with the known issues. There customer service really is awesome.

Pins Broke

I have to say I am quite disipointed with mine so far! I have heard that the customer service is hit and miss so I hope I am one of the lucky ones. I built this up so my dad could compete with it at our comp that is in less than 10 days away. I busted the pins that holds the stub shafts and axle shafts all together. Sad thing is that I am running a Axial tranny with a slipper clutch that is quite forgiving right now and I still broke :-( on the first run out.

CS Question

Chris, I have broke 2 stub axles and went to the local hobby shop and replaced them both ( I was in a hurry to get it going again ) I called customer service and they are going to send me a couple replacements. my question is are they going to send out the pins for those as well or do I need to request them ?

I sent out an email a couple days ago, how far out are they at answering people back?

If you needed the pins that would have been the time to request them. Did you break pins or your just replacing them? I'm not sure the shipment has been sent yet maybe we can head it off and drop pins in it.

Send me a PM with your info so I can talk with Paul.

I cant say exactly but they get a couple hundred emails almost everyday :shock:
Give them another day maybe or send a follow up email today. You can PM me with your question and I can look into it as well.

I found a suitable replacement for the pins. Try .078 music wire I bought 9ft for $3 at hobby town. Cut them with a Dremel or pliers. haven't broke them yet.

Chris you are the man. "thumbsup" I actually got a hold of dave (nice guy) they are out of the xcd pins and a few other things. But I ended up purchasing a few stub shafts and axle shafts just to be safe and to have on hand.
 
Chaotic's right. I on the other hand just put the wire through the holes marked and cut it. You can grind it smooth as well.
 
well breaking a drive shaft officially sucks... now i gotta wait to get a new one. is anyone aware of a upgraded driveshaft for the front?
 
i threw a traxxas one on and havent broke it yet. get a big pack of them, its cheaper that way. i think you get like 6 or so?
 
I needed a new charger so I could switch to Lipo, and because of the customer service I received, I got the Venom Pro Charger. Just wanted to say Thanks again.
