HPI Racing Venture SBK Scale Builder Kit

Coming soon from HPI Racing is the Venture SBK Scale Builder Kit. This brand new interpretation of the Venture allows to build and completely customise the look and performance of the Venture 1/10th 4WD trail truck from the very start and also includes a host of sought-after upgrades that helps the truck perform even better on the trail than before. Included in the kit are front universal driveshafts, that are tougher, rebuildable and they add extra steering angle. Also included are aluminium lower links – thick 6mm anodised links for great looks and increased performance. Other features include a 4-link rear setup for increased articulation at the rear, improving grip for better side climbing. The kit is rounded out by axle weights that extra weight directly to the axles, for increased traction exactly where it’s needed.
