To be honest i take my hat off to Andrew and Venom i see him often at trade shows in Asia and the guy is a gentlemen .
Andrew had a dream many years ago after losing some major brands when he was bolton performance and the guy took the punt with venom and what a success .Andrew's dream came true and his strong will has taken him to what venom is today a major player in the r/c industry on a world scale .
He now has an office in shenzhen and they controll the qa part of the business .ok some stuff might not be the xray quality or the mugen but what is perfect out there anyway ?I know many high end brands that fail but the teething issues are fixed in due course time and thats what venom does fixes problems one at a time.
Its about time us Aussies start to support the Australians like Andrew and venom and others that have taken the punt to produce there own brand and in a place like Asia china etc were business is very hard to do .
I should know first hand what its like to do business in china with r/c as i have lost over $50,000 US dollars in my own molds to shonks who promised the world and delivered nothing but stole my molds in the process thats why theres been delays with tyre production etc .
Believe me guys i would respect venom and what they have accomplished because dealing in a foriegn country which it's laws dont really do anything to protect the foriegn investor sucks big time truely and the only reason why our electronics have a high rate of success is because i design the circuits myself and hand pic the brand of components but i have the advantage of being an engineer and now have people behind me in china that i can truely say i can trust but it took me 6 years to find them.
Good on you Andrew for having the balls to make your own brand and to succeed doing it .
