HPI Venture Toyota FJ-Cruiser - A Day in Winter - Away from the Streets!

[@Matteomeier]

Hello everybody! The next upgrade will be inner fenders! At some low angles you can see the driver figure through the chassis! 😂 But this is the nice thing on our hobby: Always possible to optimize some things! 👍Thanks for watching!

[@monchitoscalecrawling5035]

Matteo's RC Movies try using the traxxas tx4 inner fenders. Worked for my scx10 2

[@billimono4480]

Matteo's RC Movies I’ve always wanted to learn how you make inner fenders - that would be very helpful

[@WSquared60]

I was going to say your driver is going to need dry clothes!

[@cherokee1995]

I was going to comment how good the vid was but the rig needs inner fenders lol

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for the tip! 👍

[@KisunsRCLife]

Wow, Your hiking has been included. It is a beautiful video that travels on various terrains.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! 😊

[@4x4rcenthusiasts88]

Hi Matteo, I have absolutely no doubts that there are very few other authors on the tube that can give their videos the same sense of realism, same great quality, same accuracy, and giving us such emotions. Or better, you are the master! 👨‍🎓 Chapeau!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Matteomeier]

WOW, Paolo you make me smile! 😊😊😊 What a nice comment! I really appreciate your good words! Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏

[@Semi2023-f2w]

Fully agree, i have watched this video for at least more than 10x, i bet it will be a legendary one for the FJ cruiser RC.

[@rcjan5690]

That is one beautiful off road run..you`ve made your rig look fantastic scale, and filming and making videos you`re amomg the best...I so enjoyed watching this..thumbs up Matteo..

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Jan Erik! 👍🙏😊

[@hollyhillrc]

It's very nice to see this HPI in action. The KZbin RC world has been flooded with TRX4 videos recently, (which are also an awesome RC), and not so many of this great looking FJ. Thank you very much for this. I really enjoyed it : )

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks so much Holly Hill! Yes, Traxxas is very popular at the moment, but there are other nice crawlers too!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Fantastic video Matteo! The more I see this rig, the more I'd like to get one. The axles look great, and the rig seems to handle very well! Thanks!!

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you! Yes, and it's very durable! 👍👍

[@HugeMika79]

Thanks for uploading this. Great edit. Great rig. Great music. I was legitimately disappointed when the video ended. I expect hpi will sell more of these thanks to your video.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your great feedback! In fact I thought the video is too long, so I'm very glad to hear that you watched it till the end! 👍👍👍😊

[@fildadic4217]

Another beautiful movie Matteo! I love watching the progression of your movie-making skill. The rain on the camera was a really nice touch! Great work, once again!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks fil! Glad you liked the effect! 👍😊

[@MauriceRCProductions]

Sehr schöner FJ! Immer wieder Wahnsinn was ein paar Upgrades wie z.B. Felgen ausmachen können! Tolles Video! Daumen hoch Matteo!😃👍

[@Matteomeier]

Ja, die Upgrades bringen viel, vor allem die Reifen! Danke dir! 👍

[@veek3982]

Nice diecast model. Almost looks real.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks so much for your nice feedback! Glad you liked it! 👍👍😊

[@BullgearRCvideos]

Another excellent video. I love your filming techniques. You and a couple others have inspired me to get an RC truck and start filming my adventures. I am learning to film and edit to get those great shots like you do. I have just done my third video and I'm kinda proud of it. My best so far. Thanks for making great videos!

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you so much! Good to see you enjoy your rig too, in driving and filming! 👍👍😊

[@MsThylacine]

Great Video! My FJ is Quicksand, like this, and so I really got a kick out of watching you wheel it through the rocks and water! Thanks for an enjoyable experience, and the music was good too-!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks so much for your nice feedback! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊👍

[@thedumpydustman6088]

Very nice FJ cruiser and video good job

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you! 😊

[@richdoh5443]

Nice truck. Will get mine next week. Ordered some brass upgrade parts and a stinger bumper. Would like to hook up lights,but hate dealing with wires.

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, but lights are awesome, especially in darker wintertime. Adhedsive tape helps a lot to sort and fix the cables. Have fun with your Venture!

[@montesamapping]

Really realistic ! Good job !

[@Matteomeier]

Glad you think so! 👍😊

[@MoeEldawi]

solid video and a beautiful trail

[@willi19671]

Hi Matteo ! Wieder ein wunderschönes Video von Dir. Ihr Schweizer habt es gut, eine so schöne Landschaft zu haben.Der Bach / Fluss hat aber ordentlich Hochwasser ....Wie heißt er ?Viele Grüße in die schöne Schweiz

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank Willi! Der Fluss hat tatsächlich sehr viel Wasser im Moment. Der viele Niederschlag und zu warme Temperaturen in den Bergen (Schneeschmelze) führen bei uns im Flachland zu Hochwasser! Der Fluss heisst Aare.

[@but531]

7:13 - 7:20 very realistic , you can't understand if it's RC or real car if you don't have see the video. Also in 3:29 i like this view of how the axle moves.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Glad you liked the video! 😊

[@alfredofloress3435]

Estupendos vídeos, para mí eres de los mejores muchas felicidades !!!☺️☺️🇲🇽🇲🇽

[@Matteomeier]

WOW! ¡Muchas gracias! 🙏😊

[@NordicRC]

Fascinating footage in the wild. Thumbs up, Matteo! At what speed is the footage slowed down?

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you! It's 50% slowed.

[@StankoPerko]

Beautiful!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! 😊

[@scalerc4x4]

Wow. Great video Matteo. 👍😀

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks so much Tybo! 🙏

[@jaydenmcgrow2422]

Awesome video mate! I’m looking at getting a hpi fj cruiser, was wondering through the video where you got your extra mods like lights all round, winch, tyres etc...

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Winch and whhels are from RC4WD. Tires are PitBull. The light bar is from Vanquish Products.

[@jaydenmcgrow2422]

Alright awesome thanks mate! What size tyre are they? 1.9” or 2.2”? And the phi’s don’t have headlights and tail lights so just wondering how you did them?

[@Matteomeier]

The tires are Pitt Bull Growler 1.9, and I drilled holes for the front lights and used lenses from the tamiya toyota high lift (P-parts) as light buckets I used universal light buckets from ABC hobby. Here you can see it a bit: instagram.com/p/Bbwq5lYhlUe/?

[@gmaster8007]

This is just amazing. You make the best rc videos. There’s a lot of rc videos out there but, yours is just the best. Amazing footage.

[@Matteomeier]

Wow! Thanks so much! I really appreciate your good words! 👍👍😊

[@GeneralHobbies]

another great. keep it rollin!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! 😊

[@MrGunnerru]

Looks real!

Thanks! 😊

[@schuaelitec7469]

Super Video tolle Hintergrund musik

[@Matteomeier]

Merci Ueli! 😊

[@mohammedhasan86]

Seriously excellent production.. You have captured it so beautifully.. Can u please tell me what tires u used? Thnx!!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Tires are Pitbull Rock Beast pitbullrc.com/products/pb9003nk

[@yaku_rc_family4936]

Funny video thanks !!! I want this scale 😍

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! 🙏😊

[@kfiresmith]

Can you provide info about the head and tail light upgrades? I'd also love to see an inner fender build tutorial for this unit.

[@Matteomeier]

I used universal light buckets from ABC Hobby: www.rcmart.com/light-bucket-chrome-p-55627.html?cPath=438_1358 In front I used lenses from the Tamiya Hilux high lift, Tamiya Part no. 9119196 On the rear I wiped of the color behind the lights with lexan cleaner.

[@kfiresmith]

Thanks very much! I'm brand new to this, is this what you mean by "lexan cleaner"? Thanks! www.amazon.com/TAMIYA-Polycarbonate-Body-Cleaner-Japan/dp/B00LQ7QD8E

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, exactly!

[@kfiresmith]

Great! Thanks again. Your videos are top notch. I hope to see you do more runs with the Venture and more tutorials, since your body and lighting work is perfect.

[@CaptMaxADV]

UNREAL!!!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks!

[@JoseHernandez-yv3nt]

👏👏👏👏👏👏🤜🤛🤜🤛 Increíble video, en verdad te felicito👍👍👍

[@Matteomeier]

Muchas gracias Jose! 🙏😊

[@jimbodunky]

This thing is sick.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks!

[@shahram72]

Are the headlights clear under the decals so they will work with the light kit? How about the other lenses? I am assuming this is the RTR.

[@Matteomeier]

No, I had to drill out the head lights. I have used lenses from Tamiya Hilux.

[@SWISSRCCHANNEL]

Tolles Video, Matthias!

[@Matteomeier]

Danke dir Fabian! 😊

[@awe_rc8380]

Awesome with the pitbulls!!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Yes, and they works well! 👍

[@awe_rc8380]

Matteo's RC Movies yeah i know:) have them to😜

[@waffleattacks]

Hi Matteo, great video as always! I've been looking at both the Venture and the TRX4 but can't make my mind up (funds won't allow for both trucks unfortunately). If you had to have just one regardless of parts support, which one would you pick?

[@Matteomeier]

Not easy to answer! The TRX-4 is absolutely awesome with it's many functions. But as more functions it have, more things can broke. The Venture is more simple but this makes it more durable. TRX-4 have an amazing performance out of the box, Venture can be improved with better tires, but the less price of it makes this customisation even a advantage. So it depens what your preferences. The performance on the terrain is the same.

[@danielhiemstra367]

Beautiful footage, how do you set up the light bar to turn on from the transmitter ?

[@Matteomeier]

I use a small switch, connected to the 3th channel. In this video you can see how I've done it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXjZl3uOrqaaY8k

[@sam97eck]

Great video 👍👍

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you! 🙏😊

[@mohammedhasan86]

Very beautiful video.. Nicely taken.. My kids loved it.. Can u please tell me how u installed the front headlights and tail lights? Are they cc01? And what brand is the roof leds? Keep up the excellent work matteo!!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Mohamed! Glad you and your children liked it! I used for the head lights lenses from the Tamiya high lift Hilux (P-Parts Tamiya 9115196) And universal light buckets from ABC Hobby: www.rcmart.com/light-bucket-chrome-p-55627.html?cPath=438_1358 The light bar is from Vanquish Products: www.vanquishproducts.com/rigid-industries-4in-led-light-bar-black-anodized/

[@rm8brickgarage]

Very cool! I always love toyotas! Matteo, could you share music name?

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! I've got it from audiojungle: audiojungle.net/item/drive/21270785

[@rm8brickgarage]

thank you! I have some tracks from AJ)

[@madtopp]

That truck handles well and with ease. sorry but I ain't a fan of that colour do the shells come clear. Love the location as per usual. that waterfall over the branch is a great scale. Another great video and well done

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks so much for your nice feedback! 👍😊
