@@TH-camr-uz5hc Australia stock has landed and is available. USA stock has landed and I believe arrived with Distributors just before the Christmas shutdowns but not in time for them to turn it around. I would say you'll see stock on their sites this week. EU stock arrives around the 8th January.
I have a sneaking suspicion that HPI outsourced to Hobbyplus, Flysky and Furitek for many parts on this truck which is totally fine because this truck is awesome.
You can keep your bearings from rusting and locking for a very very long time believe me you just have to pull the bearing seals off rinse all the oil out of them with WD-40 or rubbing alcohol and then pack them right full of marine Greece that is the only way I have got them to last and they last a long long time like that I have a redcat gen 8 that I ran through the stream across the street from my house almost every day for 2 years and then set it on the shelf and it's been there for about a year and a half now and I just checked the bearings the other day and they're still all free I also have a wltoys 12428 for my son that I did the same thing to and it's lasted for a couple years now but yes my erivo my UDR locked up quite a few bearings in them because I've never packed them with grease I have a 2005 Polaris sportsman ATV and they come with absolutely zero seals in the bearings just Shields like RC car bearings and I've dragged that thing through the mud many times and never locked up a bearing from sitting even after sitting for a whole year and it's because they're packed with Greece not oil
Well done and informative Sir!! Been binge watching reviews/researching for my 1st RC. I will use more indoor. Determined brushless is a must have so I think I have my choices narrowed down to Venture18 and FX118. Since this may likely be my only RC, I was really impressed by the top speed of the Venture as it would add more versatility to the rig. Is the FX118's top speed at all similar?
Thank you for taking the time to give the Venture18 a run at a great facility and taking them to the Meet and Greet!
I would love to review one on my channel.. I've been an HPI fan for 20 years 😊
@@OfficialHPI the website isn't showing me a price or purchase button. How do I buy it?
When will these start to ship? Preordered one but didn’t think it would take this long and can’t find a date anywhere.

The (r/c) world has had enuf of jeep bodies! Toyota is a refreshing change that's been needed!

What if HPI stands for hobby- plus inc lol
HPI have used PLAZMA Batteries for a vry long time, I remember getting one with my hpi Savage in 2005😂👍💯 Great little review
The dip switches are great. Easy setup. The lights and electronics are incredible. Tires, shocks and overall RC is awesome. Great job!
Kinda like getting 2 trucks in one with the brushless one being so Fast and it's a two speed 😊 I like it

Plazma has always been HPI"s brand for their batteries

WHAT EXO PLAYED WITH HPI ! must be some thing in the water ......
All that salt water down yonder
"Something" is one word, water boy 😆
Will 1 inch wheels fit? The knuckles look kinda big. But it seems like a 1 inch wheel would fit the scale better.
👍😁😎✌️
Isnt that a 600mah, rather than an 800?

Are those friction shocks?
Oil
🤪👍
😁✌️
for a licensed product, that doesn't look like a 2nd gen very much
Very pricey
Should have been a 1/10
They have a 1/10 venture already
😂 bless your special head...
1/6 lol
Looks like hpi bought fms…
