Cool! Good to hear it worked for ya. Those Venom packs will get hot though; they're fairly cheap cells and are only spot-welded together too, IIRC...so that alone will generate a lot of heat and resistance. Short of LiPo, some really decent quality NiMH packs with soldered cells will make quite a difference in performance and run cooler too.
should work fine ina revo,im really happy with the mm 8xl and 14 cells or 4cell lipo,i like the lipo better,it seems to have alot more punch,14 cells has higher top speed
