Venom SCX 2wd Short Course truck

Due to be announced tomorrow at the Nuremberg toy fair, the Venom SCX was designed for the popular 2WD short course racing class modeled after the fullscale Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series racing trucks. Designed from the ground up, the SCX represents the latest in race truck design plus a new feature unique to the Venom SCX MORdrive system. Now you can adjust the center of gravity on the fly in the pits by changing the rear transmission position from mid-motor to rear motor. The MORdrive system allows you to fine tune the weight balance and tailor the SCX to the track conditions to take the competition by surprise.

Venom GPV-1 Pro kit 1/8th motorbike

Building on the success and innovation of the original GPV-1 RTR 1/8th scale motorcycle, Venom have announced the GPV-1 Pro kit. The Pro kit maintains all the advanced features of the RTR but replaces key components with Factory Hop-Up parts as well as adding some innovations of its own. The Pro kit includes the carbon fibre race chassis kit, alloy forks with preload adjustment, front disk brake kit, steering bearing set, 6 spoke wheel set, 60T and 62T spur gear set, front and rear V1 soft tires, GPV-1 clear body and rider figure. New to the GPV-1 platform is the company’s innovative MTCS (Mechanical Traction Control System) that allows you to shift the hinge pin placement without changing the wheelbase. Shifting the hinge pin placement allows you to control the jacking and squatting of the chassis to control how the power is put to the track.
