RC ADVENTURES - Does it WORK? Rock Crawling TiPS & TRiCKS - TOYOTA FJ CRUiSER - HPi VENTURE

Описание: MY FiRST RUN with my new HPI VENTURE!! I am super stoked! I wanted to give you guys some great tips and tricks while crawling with my new truck - and testing the capabilities of this new machine. This truck is nice and compact, and really surpassed my expectations. The suspension flex is great - and the tires (for a stock tire) is pretty acceptable. The somewhat sticky compound really held up well - though I question how they would do in a colder environment. But really - there is no really good compound when the temperatures drop close to 0c. Another strong point of this truck is the wheel base. Though it is not as long as some others - this truck traverses the rocks without always getting caught up. Some of the improvements I would like to see on this truck will be the Steering servo, as well as the belly drag. The truck would benefit from a slightly higher belly, as to not get hung up on higher points. But - this is a personal choice, and of course my driving.

Overall this truck did super well on a rather difficult and treacherous rock course! I would indeed suggest this truck to filks who are looking for a stable, and fun rig! Modifying it is all about personal choice, and "making it your own!"

Here is some Information from the HPi Racing Website:

"The Venture FJ Cruiser is the ultimate adventure-ready scale RC trail truck. Developed from the ground up to be the most advanced and driver-friendly scaler truck available, the HPI Venture is ready for trail driving across mountains, streams and more. It's the perfect trail companion for anyone from weekend ramblers to globe-trotting adventure heroes!

The Venture combines a realistic front-motor position and formed steel chassis rails with a realistic suspension and drivetrain. The Venture chassis is finished with the fabulous look of the celebrated Toyota FJ Cruiser for a fantastic scale off-road experience only HPI can deliver! With a fully licensed replica body that includes front and rear bumpers, mirrors, functional roof rack and swing-away spare tire mount, the Venture brings total scale realism to crawler fans right out of the box. Underneath the body, the steel C-channel chassis rails support a front-mounted motor, transmission and servo, plus a central transfer case that sends power to telescoping driveshafts and solid axles with metal diff covers. Authentically scaled oil-filled shock absorbers and full-time locked differentials work with the realistically treaded tires for confident driving in all off-road situations."
