I just bought and put together a Venom and was pretty excited about my first RC experience in about 15 years. Initially I had problems with set screws coming loose and stuff coming apart (drive shafts!!!). Eventually I had a pin back out at the front hub and It caught the housing and wouldn't allow full rotation.
After we put the pin back in I had no forward or reverse. No noise. No grinding - NOTHING. When I held the throttle down and pushed the buggy in that direction it would go. Once it stopped, it wouldn't start on it's own again.
What did I do? I'm thinking that I was giving it throttle while it was bound up and burned the motor up - a little.
It's a a Venom 50T and I have a 55 T on the way.
I can still turn the tires by hand and see the transmission is still working just fine.
