I think the Hpi is such a good truck. I love how different trucks can pretty much do the same thing but in their own unique way. Ground clearance hinders the hpi a tad.

HPI Venture all day long , I added a Savox 380oz servo and aluminum suspension links ... This thing is a true performer and absolutely bullet proof .

Dang! That HPI is amazing. Best truck by far if you get the upgrades.

The TRX4 is the ultimate Scale Trail running rig, box stock around 90% Scale Trail & 10% Rock Crawler. And 100% Traxxas style basher ;) Changing that heavy body and adding the sticky G8 Tires makes it pretty close to unstoppable!!! The SCX10 II RTR is a total animal on the Rocks and still looks great running the Scale Trail lines ;) I don't have any experience with the venture, but it's a great looking rig!!! ;)

Best scale what? Trail running rig! No interior? Good call! So is that what makes or breaks a scale trail rig? It's running Low Gear, High Gear, front and rear differential lockers, has a great looking Defender 110 Body! Oh and those Portal Axles?!?! Iceing on the Cake!! Am I wrong? Okay, so the blacked out Windows suck!! I get the lack of Interior and that fake plastic Winch on the front Bumper... Okay, so it's not made by RC4WD and could very well be greatly improved!!! So I suppose it is the best Backyard Basher rig, and not exactly the most Scale Trail looking rig... . . . ;)

Great comparison between the three kits. Just subbed.👍

Great review, I'm struggling to decide on my first crawler but I keep coming back to the HPI. You have just made my mind up for me!

I’ve decided on the FJC which seems to work well from what I’ve seen on other channels than what this reviewer says!

I've both the trx4 and hpi venture. Both different beasts and both great. Nothing touches the trx4, have had the stock servo for 12 months. If you don't turn at standstill you'll be fine. The venture is very capable with straight driveline and plenty of stock alloy. Super simple and great low c.o.g. all round brilliant.

You should do a… which rock crawler has best upgrade capabilities next! Awesome vid

Thanks for the review, i totally agree with you.

I personally love the scx10 2 the best out of all the crawlers I have, basically the best main ones redcat gen 8, trx4, scx10 2, and another scx10 2, and I have to say the scx10 2 is by far my favorite because it’s so easy to take apart and upgrade, for a try 4 and redcat I have to take over 12 screws out in specific orders and it can be a pain getting the motor off the trans on both for upgrades, so when I realized the scx10 2 I could get it’s trans out in 4 screws and put a better one in and add weights and axle weights easier I did and that’s kinda why it’s my favorite because it’s so easy to upgrade, and stock I would say on rock it outperformed my other two including my trx4 and trx4 sport. So overall if you want to upgrade and make a competition crawler I would go with the scx 10 ii

When I first got into rc I was looking for a review channel, my BF being Filipino insisted we watch you. Love your channel but we made a mistake watching with his family from Manila... they say “Heavens” Instead of cursing... the minute your told prices in another video “$350, $375, $400” etc. all you heard was “Heavens!!! My heaven!!” “That’s too much!! He must be crazy... Jen is he crazy?!! He lost his mind! $400 for a toy!! That too much, what is he thinking?!!! Lmao! Went on for hours... their “thrifty “ shall we say and you nearly killed them saying a toy costs $400... 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

The difference between the men and the boys is the price of their toys ... a very old quote and it always true. When people are complaining about the price of the TRX family, just keep in mind, what it will cost you to have: A rigid axle chassis with portal gears, two independently switchable diff locks (with two servos), a shiftable two speed gear box (and another servo), a (moderately) programmable ESC, a steering servo (my original is still working - but yes it is somewhat weak) and a r/c TX/RX unit. OOB the TRX is very capable and relatively silent (compared to some "coffee grinders" on wheels). If you upgrade any other r/c to this standard, you will end up with the same amount of money spent. Believe it or not. And no, I'm not a Traxxas-Fan-Boy, 80%-90% percent of my r/c's are Tamiyas. But if you judge a model without wearing rose colored glasses, the TRX-family is a great throw from Traxxas.

I’m currently trying to save up to buy a TRX4, it might take a while but it’ll be worth it.

Never tested the venture but the TRX4 is really forward on scale and trail riding but with the top heavy body it isn't really capable on actual rock crawling. Has a lot of tech like the 2 speed and lockers but i still have to replace more often parts in the TRX4 . The SCX10 II has truck load amount of aftermarket parts/ hop ups and is heavily capable on rock crawling and stock parts are reliable too. I also have to say that the vattera ascender is almost in par with the scx10 ii except the issue with the torque twist that is easy to fix. Well i have to save up for the venture to try it out.

I do not have the privilege of owning trx4 defender someday I hope to so I can also say how good they are until then I will keek my fingers crossed in Hope's that one of you that have a hole army of then remember to look me up so I can purchase one for a good price ....love you show dont miss a one of them god bless

Rod 000 I saw that video also, its crazy how much abuse the trx4 drive line can withstand. If you use the trx as a trail truck unless it falls off a cliff the axles probably won't break.

Your right, the Traxxas TRX-4 is the best truck in my opinion. I just got the bluetooth for my TRX-4 transmitter. That 100% takes the hassle out setting up the truck. Do NOT use the TSM setting, leave it at zero. With TSM on the steering is bad. Doesn't self center and makes steering feel delayed. Leave TSM OFF! The only issue I've had was with the TRX-4 is the steering servo. I spent big bucks on a couple servos that went out fast. Track Star, Savöx, even the stock Traxxas servo crapped out. I found a $19 servo on line (from China) and it SMOKES the expensive servos I've tried. I bought an extra as a back up! I doubt I'll need it anytime soon!

@stpbasss3773

Hi there (tried to find your name). I've been a subscriber for a good while, but had to change my compromised email address. So, here I am anew, resubscribed with a question about the HPI Venture FJ. I realize that HPI hasn't kept up very well with the RC crawler industry, but I love their FJ body. I considered a Trx4 Sport kit and a finished FJ body (can't find one), but I don't want to do a complete build. This will be my first crawler (on a budget), so is the HPI FJ still a good rig that should have parts and upgrades in the future? Thanks for your thoughts

Why no Gen 7?

In our experience for crawling performance, the TRX4 beats the Venture in every category, box stock. Ground clearance, tire trip, drivetrain smoothness. Thes are more apparent in very rocky, technical terrain. The weakness of the TRX4 is the big, heavy, tall bodies. But that's easily resolved by using an alternate light body.

The body is super thin and cheap I swapped that out for a proline 4runner body right away, the stock rims and tires sucked my stock trx4 sport tires were better and the pumpkin clearance is absolutely annoying after using portals lol you get stuck on everything in the scx10ii so it forces you to really pay attention to your wheel placement. It crawls great don't get me wrong but my trx4 sport killed it in performance and had thicker links stronger drivetrain and metal pillow balls, the 400$ scx10ii had plastic pillow balls throughout the rig I had to change them out for some brass ones. Oh and who at axial decided it was a good idea to not put a on/off switch on the scx10ii WTF that's stupid I had to actually read the instructions to figure out that it had no switch I spent 10 minutes looking for a damn on/off switch when I got it lol real fun when you have a rig with a bunch of accessories on the body and lights like I do so you have to reach under the body and blindly plug in the battery while the RC and lights all flicker on and off because you don't get it right the first time hahaha go Axial.
