I too was thinking of getting one until another forum member (.46Nitro addict) let me know how they performed in a test he did, from memory the venom had issues with consistency going into failsafe when voltage drops from battery (obviously not to zero) but he ended up running the stock Cen one as it performed better I think. When he sees this thread I'm sure he'll pop in - The Real Dogman may know something about this too.
