Status: offline 		I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I finally got to run it today and take it off some jumps. Man this truck can take a beating and keep right on going!! I flipped it so many times today and a few times I was POSITIVE that I broke something... but nope! Everything is intact. I did however manage to crack the body... no biggie. Oh, and I also cut 2 holes in the body... one for the pull start, and one for the glow plug igniter. I got tired of taking the body off the start it. Overall... GREAT TRUCK, and amazing forum!

Status: offline 		I got my truck off Ebay and broke it in. On 1/2 of the 5th tank during break in I lost all the screws on the pull start. Luckily I found some of the same size screws in some old computer crap and installed them with lock tight. Which gear or gears is everyone stripping? Ive caught 2 rocks in the big plastic gear so far. Also what brand of failsafe do you guys use? I bought one off Ebay and today it would make my throttle servo not respond. I had to cycle the switch on the reciver for it to start working again. After awile of running it like that the truck just took off on me full speed. It wasn't more than 20 feet away when it took off. Luckily it ran into some tall grass and stopped with out crashing into anything.

Status: online 		did you set the failsafe up or just plug it in? it has to be set to set the brake on when it kicks in, some of mine made it go to full throttle until i set it up.

Status: offline 		The venom fail safes with the temp gauge has some issues and actual fail more often than not.

Status: offline 		has anyone ever hear of a metal spur gear for the sv pro? the factory plastic one is number #08013. I have a problem with the clutch slipping I think. the bell gets hot enough to melt the teeth off the plastic gear.
