Introducing the HPI Venture Wayfinder 4WD RTR, an RC trail truck that embodies the spirit of exploration. The HPI Venture is your steadfast companion, ready to traverse mountains, streams and beyond. It's not just a vehicle, it's a trusted ally for your weekend jaunts or grand explorations!
The Venture combines a realistic front-motor position and formed steel C-channel chassis rails with a realistic suspension and drivetrain. The new Wayfinder body augments the Venture framework, resulting in a unique off-road experience we're proud to provide. The Wayfinder body is meticulously crafted and available in two distinctive color options - a glossy metallic Gunmetal and a vibrant metallic Orange. The design details extend beyond the primary coloring, featuring black accents that embellish the arch extenders and sills creating a striking contrast. Clear windows provide a realistic look, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the model. With front and rear bumpers, mirrors, a functional roof rack, and a swing-away spare tire mount, the Venture provides an authentic trail experience.
Several Optional parts are now standard equipment: Including the Aluminum lower link set, Aluminum rear 4 link and Universal front driveshafts. The vehicle’s performance is further enhanced by authentically scaled oil-filled shock absorbers and full-time locked differentials, paired with realistically treaded tires, ensuring dependable handling in all off-road conditions.
NEW WAYFINDER BODY
The Wayfinder body included with the Venture RTR kit is completely outfitted with a range of fabulous scale items. In addition to the hand-painted polycarbonate body on its own, you'll find a pair of side mirrors, a functional roof rack ready for a range of scale accessories, a working swing-away spare tire mount on the back bumper, working D-ring shackles on the front and rear bumpers, tubular brush guard and mounts for LED lights on the front bumper, and adjustable-width rock rails that help the truck glide over tough obstacles.
SCALE CHASSIS DESIGN AND LAYOUT
The Venture features a formed steel C-channel chassis and cross braces as the foundation for a realistic truck chassis. The 35-turn crawler-spec motor and the 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. The standard battery position has been moved to be further forward and lower down in the truck to improve handling.
ALUMINUM DIFF COVERS
The Venture is packed with awesome scale details - and real metal diff covers are just one of them! Known as the "pumpkin" by most off-roaders, the differentials on each axle on the Venture feature aluminum covers for an instant custom look. You can also customize the diff covers yourself by polishing them or painting them your favorite color!
SWING-AWAY TAILGATE
With a functional swing-away spare tire mount on the back bumper, the Venture adds a super cool feature that is unique among all stock scaler trucks! Fitted with a real, ready-to-use spare tire (the all-new Rockthorn off-road tire on a black CR-10 wheel!), the spare tire mount also helps hold the back of the body in place.
FRONT & REAR BUMPERS
The Venture features sturdy front and rear bumpers to protect the replica body and the chassis from the inevitable scrapes and incidents that come with off-road trail driving. The front bumper is fitted with tubular brush guards and holes where you can mount LED lights for night driving. Both bumpers feature functional D-ring shackles so you can use ropes and bungees to strap down scale gear or attach winch cables.
FUNCTIONAL ROOF RACK
No trail run is complete without a full set of scale overland accessories like a rolled-up tent, sleeping bags and more, and the roof is the perfect place to store that while driving from campsite to campsite. Side and rear rails let you use bungees to hold down your gear for extra scaler points - or use a cargo net for ultimate scale realism!
ROCKTHORN OFF-ROAD TIRES ON CR-10 WHEELS
The Venture features Rockthorn tires with thick, self-cleaning tread blocks for driving on hard-packed dirt, gravel, wet or dry rocks, loose dirt, mud and more. The Rockthorn tires have additional sidewall tread to help get the truck over extra-difficult obstacles like slippery rocks and tree roots. The tires are mounted on great-looking CR-10 1.9" beadlock-style multispoke wheels, which themselves feature center hub caps that hide the wheel nuts for maximum scale realism.
ROCK RAIL SLIDERS
Robust side bars, known as rock sliders or rock rails, allow the Venture to slide over obstacles that are just a bit too tall for it to completely clear. Stretching from the front to rear wheel openings, they serve to aid off-road performance as well as protect the body from scratches by ground obstacles like rocks and boulders. Although they are the perfect fit for the Wayfinder body, they can be adjusted in width to fit other scaler bodies.
INCLUDES HPI OPTION PARTS
The Venture scale crawler truck is packed with features already, and the Wayfinder 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. The Wayfinder includes FRONT UNIVERSAL DRIVESHAFTS, 6mm ALUMINUM LOWER LINKS, and 4-LINK REAR SUSPENSION performance parts. If you already have a Venture, all of these options are also available separately to enhance and strengthen your truck.
