Status: offline 		My son came home yesturday from the lhs with a new Venom battery. I think it is a 7 cell 4500 pack. We race and only use 6 cell packs so IDK what he was thinking.

Two questions;

Are Venom packs any good as far as punch, longevety?

Is it worth the trouble taking this thing appart and removing a cell, or should he just keep it as is for bashing?

Status: offline 		I have a nimh, and I am disapointed. It just doesn't have much punch, or longevity. I think my cheap(forgot the brand)2400mah nicads have more arse than my Venom 3600mah nimh The pack also seems like it does not perform as well as it did when it was new, but it has not been overly used either. I have a decent charger and I have cycled the pack several times, per the directions, and I also let the pack cool. That said, I might not have treated the Venom like a high-end race pack, but I did treat it decently and not abuse it. I know many around here are not happy with theirs either, maybe see if your LHS will take them back?

Status: online 		Venoms belong for bashing as they don`t give out much performance . For racing you want a good set of matched packs either team or economy packs will do . SMC , Slingshot , Trinity , Reedy , Orion/Peak , and others make good matched packs that won`t cost a fortune and probably not too much more than what your son paid for the venom pack .

STAY AWAY FROM VENOM.. Batteries are the lifeblood of your RC.. spend that bit extra get decent packs.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the opinions, much apreciated! I am too late though, he already hacked the plug off and soldered on a deans. I told him he could not race that pack because we have a 6 cell limit, so he just ripped the 7th cell off. It is his money so we will see how his car performs with that battery tonight at the race track.
