anyone have info or experience with the venom charger?

In my limited experience with Venom- and from what i've seen elsewhere- they are notorious for re-branding cheap Chinese stuff and should be avoided.

rly? i've only heard that about their NIMHs, and I've heard some good about their lipos... youtube time!

Someone help me out..... post your sucksperience with Venom.... anyone......

pedeboi364 · 01.23.2009, 10:56 PM

lol. Dare i say, "on the TRAXXAS BOARDS"... i've heard they perform similarly to the lower-class zippys

I have only run venom 1800 3s lipos in crawlers. And maxamps 2100 packs seem to last longer. I would buy zippy over venom.

Taste tests prove that midgets prefer zippy over venom in an extra tall triple blind comparison. Zippy, the choice of a new generation.

uh... ok??? I'll have to see what costs are but if my LHS has their charger in stock for like 50% off do i snag it and grab zippys?

pedeboi364 · 01.25.2009, 07:29 PM

well, i ended up getting a venom 7-cell nimh 5000mah. Before you call me a flaming retard, i got it for $50, half off the regular price. If it goes boom, i send it back to venom, get the same pack, and sell it for a $50 profit. Not bad for the youngest guy on here eh?

They call im the Gambler...... JK whatever works for you :)
however if you start looking at helis- do stay away from V- take my word on that. That pack should work fine, I would be iffy on the charger if anything- but may be a fine unit.. we all eat one or another in this hobby- and uh not in the good way

^^^lol. I don't ever plan on flying anything, to many bad things to hit...

HOLY WHEELIES BATMAN!!!!! wow, someone tell me how much more power a lipo will have than this venom 7cell pack, then I'll be convinced... welcome to the power word pedeboi364...

A guy I work with has two venom 5000mAh 6 cell packs and a good friend of mine has a 7 cell 4200mAh and they both seem to work well.

The only first hand experience I have with NiMH vs. Lipo is between 3900mAh6 Cell Orion Rocket Packs and 8 cell 4500mAh Elite NiMH packs and 2S-5S lipo.

I can say that my smallest lipo the MA 4000mAh 2S in just as or nastier in my rustler than any NiMH I have tried.

I can't say exactly how much more, but having batteries that allow the motor to draw 300-500% more current on startup does wonders for performance!

Convinced?????

LIPOS are definitely better, but if you have not gotten this fact yet, then you have not been reading through the RCM threads enough. Then again the best reference any of us can depend on is our own experiences with the R/C products that are available to us. Get yourself a good Lipo pack and let us know how that works out for you.
