VENTURE...
INTO SCALE TRUCK BUILDING
The Venture is the ultimate adventure-ready scale RC trail truck, and now it's available in a build-it-yourself version, ready for you to completely customize into your ultimate off-road vehicle. Developed from the ground up to be the most advanced and driver-friendly scaler truck available, the Venture is the perfect trail companion for anyone from weekend ramblers to globe-trotting adventure heroes! Whether you're driving up a mountain, crossing rocky streams or just taking it on a trail drive, the Venture can handle it all. To make the Venture the best in class scale truck, the chassis features a formed steel chassis that encloses a realistic front-motor position with an all metal-gear transmission and full-time 4WD drivetrain with a central transfer case, plus a scale suspension featuring dual stage, oil-filled, coil-over shocks and sturdy off-road axles with full-time locked differentials.
The build-it-yourself Venture SBK includes official HPI options such as rebuildable front universal driveshafts, aluminum lower links for confidence over rough terrain, 4-link rear for increased articulation and traction, plus hidden axle weights for increased stability with a lowered center of gravity (CG). As you assemble the kit from the fully detailed assembly instructions, you can modify the truck if you wish, or add extra options and accessories as you go. The Venture Scale Builder Kit is supplied in kit form only, ready for your own choice of motor, servo, speed controller, wheels, tires, body, and bumpers, so YOU can instantly have the most customized truck possible.
SCALE CHASSIS DESIGN AND LAYOUT
The Venture rock crawler features a formed steel C-channel chassis with sturdy plastic cross braces as the foundation for a realistic scale truck chassis. To make sure the truck has a front weight bias that improves its climbing ability, the motor and transmission are mounted right up front - just like in a real truck! For additional weight up front, the steering servo is also mounted to the chassis next to the motor.
INCLUDES HPI OPTION PARTS
The Venture scale crawler truck is packed with features already (you can read all about them below), and the SBK version includes a selection of hand-picked options that will make it even more capable not just on the trail, but also through the most difficult terrain. If you already have a Venture, all of these options are also available separately to enhance and strengthen your truck.
FRONT UNIVERSAL DRIVESHAFTS
Front Universal Driveshafts - these are stronger than the standard dogbones, and are also completely rebuildable for when you need to perform routine maintenance. They'll also increase the steering angle for easier turning around obstacles.
BRASS AXLE WEIGHTS
Axle Weights - adding 24g of weight to the inside of each axle, these heavy brass weights are not only hidden from view for scale realism, they add even more stability to the truck by moving the center of gravity as low as possible.
BALANCED WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
The chassis layout of the Venture, with the forward-mounted motor and transmission, plus the chassis-mounted servo (CMS), puts most of the weight at the front end, giving the Venture ultra-realistic driving performance and an advantage over most other scale trucks when hitting the trail.
ALL-METAL TRANSMISSION
The Venture is the first scale truck to feature strong metal gears throughout its transmission. With a main gear set taken from the ultra-fast and ultra-strong Savage XS Flux, the Venture drivetrain can handle LiPo power up to 3S, as well as brushless motor power with zero upgrades.
PANHARD BAR
A Panhard bar on aluminum mounts provides extra scale looks, because it's featured on most off-road trucks and vehicles. The purpose of the Panhard bar is to maintain zero bump steer as the axle rises over bumps and falls into holes and ruts. This helps the Venture go exactly where you want it with precise steering control!
CMS (CHASSIS-MOUNTED SERVO)
The realistic steering for the Venture chassis begins with a Chassis-Mounted Servo. With any standard-size servo firmly mounted at the front of the chassis, the weight of the servo aids the front weight bias of the Venture. The solid metal steering link also looks like it came out of a real truck, and connects to the tough steering knuckle. The Venture SBK will fit any standard size steering servo - choose your best one for your needs!
RUGGED ALUMINUM PARTS
Enhancing the look and style of the Venture chassis are aluminum suspension parts that are a fantastic throwback to truck kits from RC's retro golden age. From the axle covers which have the HPI hex logo on them, to the thick shock and rod link mounts, the real metal parts add a great look to the Venture that other scale trucks can't match! Both Panhard bar mounts are also aluminum, as well as all four hex hubs for the wheels. Each hex hub is also held in place on the axles by steel setscrews for additional security.
