HPI Racing 117255 1/10 Venture SBK 4WD Rock Crawler Scale Builder Kit

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. Are you looking for the pre-built and Ready To Run (RTR) version of the Venture? Check out the #118146 Matte Black, #116558 Gunmetal, or #117165 Sandstorm RTR Venture trucks! 

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
#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
