I have the two Venom systems - one in a 10.5 tourer and one in a 6.5 4wd buggy and they work brilliantly well. The programming box is dead simple to use and gives you way more tweaking options than you would ever get from a Novak or LRP. In fact I sold all my Novak and LRP systems and managed to pocket the difference!
Lutach, you have given some great info here - thanks! I would like to give these EZ-run ESCs a try. Can you confirm whether the programming box from the XE-run is identical and can be used in the EZ-run? I would like to buy a EZ-run ESC only (not combo), as I have spare motors I can use.
