HPI Venture Wayfinder RTR - Metallic Orange

The Venture combines a realistic truck drivetrain layout and suspension with a fantastic updated new look. The new Wayfinder Bodyshell augments the Venture framework, resulting in a unique off-road experience we're proud to provide. 

Underneath the sturdy exterior are a pair of steel C-channel chassis rails, a front-mounted motor, front transmission and servo mount, plus a central transfer case sending power to telescoping driveshafts and solid axles with metal diff covers. The Venture’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! 

The brand new HPI 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.

The chassis layout of the Venture Wayfinder can be adjusted with three distinct battery positions, right out of the box! We have included the parts to convert your Wayfinder to run any of these three battery locations from the original rear mount with 50/50 weight balance, an all-new center position and a performance-oriented front position with nearly 60% of the weight over the front axle!

Awesome Venture Options Included as Standard!

The Venture scale crawler truck is packed with features already, and the new 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 off-road terrain:
