The GPV handle quite well but there are some weak points like the wheels, sprocket, front brake kit. I had seen a few local guys broke these parts already. Especially if you use a brushless motor setup. For the sprocket you can change to ZH aluminum sprocket with hub, but you need to change to ZH aluminum rims too. They are very durable and comes in a lot of different colours too. For the front as the hex for the brake disk on the ZH rims are larger than the Venom one I don't think the ZH one would fit. I am thinking of changing to complete ZH front fork and brake kit on my Venom. Which is a lot more durable as everything was made by aluminum. Will try to fit it these few days and see if it is possible.

Thanks for the heads up. Lets hope they make a metal sproket for the GPV-1
