THAT'S A TYPICAL VENOM ANSWER was that too much?

I'm going to be ordering the p1 king of shaves this week but I was thinking of running it on a 5s lipo, the promo video says the esc can handle upto 6s. Do you think it will run fine in stock form on a 5s lipo?

no one really knows the specs of the motor..
I think it's 2000kv so that would be 37,000 unloaded rpms
most any esc can take 6s but we don't want to push the limits of the amp rating and this would most do so
Venom likes to brag what their stuff can goto, like a 6s esc but 4s could be the limit in the real world..

do your homework on venom!! if the P1 is anything like the C1, the hull is decent but everything else is crap. buy the hull and put quality parts in it and you will have a nice boat. good luck

I wouldnt order the boat until Venom have (if any) reasonable backup service and spare parts.
Its a long way to Australia and a reliable brand new boat would be great but things do go wrong.

I agree
If they sell just the hull, added with a NEU/Castle 1518 1y motor on 4s..
oh man

[Rumdog]

They do sell just the hull: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXXSM5&P=7 It just recently sold out again

We are refering to the P1 Mono Fountain King Of Shaves.
Hopefully it is Ready to run not nearly ready to run.

I have a p-1 on order from tower, and already have my back-up powertrain for it. The ammo 36-88-1280 i'm dying to try out, turnigy 120, and 2-5000mah 3s 35c lipos! How does venom stay in business when they have pretty much nothing in stock?

You may be right but the way I see it the p1 is a better boat than the othe alternatives I was looking at the supervee 27. I had a bj 26 and had loads of problems with that. I'm not a hardcore boater I just want a decent rtr that u can use down my local lake.

Tower hobbies have moved the P1 release date from mid may to mid june.
I wonder what the delay is???

[jamespl]

I noticed this but other websites I've seen are still saying may, I'm unsure wheather to place my order now cos I don't want to be waiting ages for it but there isn't another rtr boat in that price range that appeals to me.

[arrowskartax9]

Yes its a hard one. If other websites are still saying mid may try your luck.
Im not sure anymore. Maybe some one at Venom could advise us of the release date.
Some thing that is mass produced for the world wide market surely cant take that long once a prototype has been built and tested to meet everyones expectaions.

[jamespl]

I emailed venom a couple of weeks ago asking if I would def get on in may if I placed an order and do they have enough to cover preorders. They basicaly said they don't know if they will have enough as they don't know how many preorders there are but they did say it shouldn't be a problem! I don't know if I should order direct from venom or from another website.

[arrowskartax9]

Not sure, if it has been put back to mid june i hope a manufacturing problem hasnt been found.
