Absolutely agree! My hpi venture sbk is about 5 years old. It's completely stock minus the servo horn, and all I've done is replace a few bearings. Which really isn't bad going when I think back to all the mud, sand, dirt, I've been through. Never broken any plastic parts or stripped any screws or gears, meanwhile my friends traxxas trx4 has broken about 3 times in the same amount of time but with less use than my venture. I am using the standard size crawler tires so it's still capable.
Interesting! If so, that's such an HPI thing to do... make changes without announcing anything! Any of the other mainstream manufacturers would post photos, videos and articles. HPI? Crickets.
Very useful video! Thank you! Can you help me what type of motor pinion should I use for this chassis (I also have SBK). It would be perfect If you could tell the HPI product number. Thank you!🙂🙏
Nothing crawls better than a seasoned rig. Nice video 👍🏾🔥
Absolutely! Thank you very much.
Good looking truck!
Thanks very much. She used to be pretty, now she's beat-up and cool looking.
Love the c10 Body. Nice video. Great to see you back
Thank you!

Great feedback, thanks! Good to hear you've also had a good experience. They really are beasts.
I might be wrong but I have a feeling the SBK kit was updated in the last year or so and comes with some upgrades to make it even better value.

Was watching some of the older videos from 4 years ago and I slightly miss the old channel name 😊
Yeah, I liked that name. That's why my bashing videos are still called RC'ing Around.
I'll need to bring my Redcat Gen 8 for you to play with!
Go for it!

Thank you. I simply used the included 16 tooth pinion. Part no. 6916. It's in the box. Have fun!
What pinion gear you running in your venture ?
I believe it's the standard 16 tooth. 99% sure.
