Been looking around for my first crawler and I keep coming back to this...

That thing is super nice rich I think a lot of the crawler guys is really going to love this set up man can't wait to see this one out on the trail my good friend

Great first look! We love the Venture too! Love the channel :)

I like how so many of the details are very Toyota. Those front nut covers are very similar to the asin hubs that Toyota used to use really jumped out at me.

Cool! cant wait to see it in action!

nice detail and up close. i've been waiting for like to the market for like forever..can't wait for you to pin it against your other rigs.

Fantastic layout. With some new electronics and metal links this should be a very capable rig!

Hpi adventure looks pretty cool

Cool video

OMG. Finally it’s out. I have waited bought and canceled orders to this RC due to the wait time kept being pushed back. Done got the trx4 and redcat gren7 pro and the hpi RS4 sport 3 Flux before this came out.

My Christmas present to me!

Hi there, that's a cracking rig, looks factory. Not sure about the body, still don't know if I like the new FJ Cruiser body style. I like everything else about it, might even get one, instead of two TRX4. Sweeeet unboxing. 😀 👍 👍 👍

I like most of the layout. I echo the part support concern, as well as the junk servo. I'm curious to see if the aftermarket will take to this truck.

I just hope I can get my hands on option parts for this rig when I buy it.

HPI ? Surprising. Decided to put any replacement parts or upgrades on hold with my HPI Pulse 4.6. Looks cool though. Like you say trick.

the esc looks like a rebranded hobbywing 1060 wp quick run esc.

It is an RTR with a NiMh pack, they all have Tamiya connectors. You can't air ship LiPo anymore. you won't find many, if any RTR's with Lipo and still maintain a flexible distribution.

I know you don't like Traxxas but would you consider trying out the TRX-4? I would love to see your thoughts on it!

Could not wait for it . Got a Redcat gen 7 instead. May be later if I want to get in trouble for owning to many rc s.

I am sure this has been asked multiple times, but are you or can you feature the Traxxas TRX4. Many people have been happy with it, and it would be cool for you to do a build.

Nice first look! Sadly, I don't think the SBG will be investing in this truck. Just not enough going on in it to really get me interested. It's unfortunate that this took so long to come to market.

Pass on the Everest Gen 7 - Now comparing this to a TRX4? Maybe the Sport version is very comparable...but whay you get from the traxxas is support with parts and of course aftermarket upgrades are galore. THe HPI is riddled with part support issues and literally no upgrades available through aftermarket brands. The Regular TRX4 with all the locking diffs and 2 speed - IMO, it's all gimmicky.

Kind of a dated design at this point. Pumpkins are huge compared to axial, vaterra and traxxas. Plastic links on an rtr scaler are also old hat at this point. Battery alllll the way to the rear. The new Carisma Coyote entry level rtr scaler looks like a better buy.

I wish it was the fj40

AkosiMRswabe at the time, this was pretty decent in the world of crawling - behind the axle steering, front motor design, darn decent shocks and many other items. Unfortunately, HPI had some issues. This should have come out prior to the TRX4 and things would have been different. Also didn’t help that HPI has been through two new parent companies now. I agree parts are scarce, no matter what though

meh. thanks for posting the review tho.

Looks like a nice truck, but I just can't support HPI. Seems like no one knows what's going on with that company and the part support is awful. I would get the team redcat Gen pro 7 before this truck hands down

The Redcat Everest gen 7 looks like a very well thought out platform indeed, the battery placement is freaking brilliant. High clearance metal links. If only they'd gone with smaller pumpkins it would've been a serious contender.

I like all the detail that went into making this truck look realistic but surely they could have chosen a better truck to have put their time and effort in that is just one ugly vehicle and not something that used off-road

@@TheRCNetwork fs racing crawler is an scx10.2 under different branding. Fs racing being the OEM. Not sure why you think hpi is more higher spec just because it costs a lot more, another example is hpi using plastic links so again took the cheaper option and cut corners. Fs racing never went cheap on anything despite the low cost, See just some of the below spec of the fs. A hobby grade rock crawler from FS Racing. This fantastic looking model features a highly detailed jeep polycarbonate shell, LED lights. It is an advanced crawler with CNC main gear and main shaft, "C" channel chassis frame with cross braces, strong steel suspension and steering linkages and metal lockers in the front and rear differentials. The feature list goes on and on with waterproof electronics, bolt on link mounts for easy adjustments and 45 degrees of steering making this rock crawler a top of the range climbing beast. DETAILS The rock crawler is powered by a 550 brushed motor and comes fully built complete with 2.4GHz radio system and rechargeable 7.2V battery pack with charger. With a model that looks like this you are going to want to hit the off road pretty hard so with that in mind all the electronics have been upgraded to waterproof and dust proof versions and the differentials are impact resistant. This is a precision manufactured high quality model with a massive feature list, check out the full list below
