What you need to complete this kit:
- Your choice of scale body - 12.3" (313mm) wheelbase fits perfectly, other wheelbases will require changing the links to suit
- Front and rear bumpers to match your choice of body
- Scale crawler tires and wheels (we suggest 1.9" wheels for the best fit)
- Brushed or brushless motor (we suggest a high turn brushed motor or equivalent brushless motor)
- Electronic speed control to suit your choice of motor
- High torque standard size steering servo
- Radio system with receiver
- Battery for truck (with suitable plug for your speed controller)
- Batteries for radio transmitter
Customize Your Venture
The best part about scale RC is making your Venture SBK reflect your own personality! Customize your Venture with a huge range of 3rd party options such as the lights, winches and other parts shown in the picture above. The #117365 clear FJ Cruiser body is also available separately, so you can go all-out to customize your Venture - that's what scale RC is all about! Any other 1/10th scale scaler-style body will fit as well, thanks to the adjustable wheelbase and body posts, and the large braces for the rear body posts work great for tall SUV style bodies.
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
#115942 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.
6mm Aluminum Lower Links
#116442 Aluminum Lower Links - machined from 6mm thick aluminum alloy and then anodized to match the shock bodies and motor plate, these burly metal links help stiffen the suspension and allow the dual-stage shocks to do their duties to the utmost.
4-Link Rear Suspension
#117079 4-Link Rear - adding extra articulation to the rear axle gives extra grip at critical moments, such as when side-hilling up steep embankments, giving you the confidence to take the Venture to the extreme limits of scale crawler performance.
Brass Axle Weights
#117086 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.
