  • In this video, I do an overview of my HPI Venture Class 2 build. I also show how to fabricate a set of inner fender wells for cheap to free for scale points and enhanced scale appearance.

    What a beautiful jeep!!!! I've always wanted one of these but it's quite expensive.

    One of my favourite crawler chassis. I still have one. Mine has a bunch of brass and a JConcepts Ford F250 tucked body. That reefs servo is just a rebranded AGFRC servo. Reefs doesn't make their own servos, they just put their name on it and jack up the price.

    Glad to see someone else still using the Venture. I built mine for class 1 and have another SBK that I need to build for trail use.

      I love the venture platform, you just have to be dedicated to build one since there is zero aftermarket support. Mine isn't necessarily a comp rig but it performs very well and will see the occasional class 2 event. Still got more in the works for it.

    You inspired me to make my venture just like yours bro, thanks so much

    You can flip the factory transfer case for overdrive...works great

      The big issue for me is not wanting to raise the gear ratio any more than it already is. HPI way over geared these for my taste. Since this video, I have pretty much redone the entire drivetrain. It’s currently running a 1500KV outrunner with 10t pinion into a 1:9 team garage hack transfer case and a 13% UD rear diff. It creeps super smooth and works really well.

    Nice to see someone else with the FJ Venture! Love mine for sure. I’d do this mod if I didn’t have the lexan inners already.

      It is definately an overlooked platform. Mostly due to lack of aftermarket support and short time it was available. Stay tuned though, I have more in the works for this one. Next project is gearing down and a DIY under-drive rear which I’ve never seen done.

    Hi Mike, can you tell me what tyres you use (pro-line hyrax right?) and the size of them?
    Thank you 👊

      When that video was made, it had the 4.75 Hyrax in G8 compound on SSD beadlocks and CI foams. Since then, I have switched to a set of 4.75 KM3s in Predator compound on Locked Up RC beadlocks with single stage foams in back and dual stage in front. They work much better than the Hyrax in the type terrain we have around here. The current combo are the ones I built in this video th-cam.com/video/oRVkpfamD04/w-d-xo.html

    Comp? I had 2 that couldn't leave the yard without breaking

    • @mikestinytruckshop
      @mikestinytruckshop  ปีที่แล้ว

      I don’t particularly treat it nice and don’t think I have ever really broken anything on this one. Can’t say the same for any of my other trucks.

      Mine is from the RTR venture I started out with but I also have a spare that I bought on eBay a while back. They are still on there but are way expensive. Like $100 plus unless you get lucky and snag one cheaper.

    Do you run hex extenders, if so how big and how heavy

      I do not. I’m not a huge fan of extra brass. I just try to keep everything up top light and low as possible
