What Are You Chicken? HPI-Racing Hits 88Mph With A New Mini Crawler, Venture18 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5

[@OfficialHPI]

Thank you Gavin for taking a look at the Venture18! Even with the weather! 🌧🌩🌬

[@RCKickschannel]

Congratulations, a fantastic offering that will surprise many. Now if the weather would play ball, I would like to take it out for a drive. 🌧️ 🌧️ 💨 💨

[@andyrichey1192]

Yeah, I’ve got mine on pre-order the black brushless stoked about getting one. Don’t think it’s gonna be here until late. January. Appreciate the video.

[@TomleyRC]

Imagine blaming bad weather for a Crawler video. Come on Gavin, get your coat on, the dust will not be blown from the shelfs, I promise 😇

[@RCKickschannel]

Why did I know I was going to get this message from you lol. 😂 Not sure how you found a sunny day, you must have filmed it weeks ago. It’s been stormy and raining for a week solid this end. Better off reviewing an RC boat 🚤

[@TomleyRC]

@@RCKickschannel It's easier to work with the weather when you are a Full timer.... 😅

[@Šimodelar]

2:35 its a 6 channel controller! That's amazing!

[@RCKickschannel]

Yep and a full size 6 channel transmitter

[@Paul__FC]

Hey, Gav. As far as tire size. That's how we do it in the States. It's the " Drive'm Until they Fit" method. It's a common thing here.

[@RCKickschannel]

HEHHHEH :)

[@n22pdf]

Love it.. well done HPI.. reminded me of Back to the Future straight away 😊 great review Gavin.. Pete

[@vintageschumacher]

Awesome 👌 looks fun, I do this sort of stuff with my tank

[@RCKickschannel]

Cool 👍

[@oz1141]

That drag race scene from the movie was filmed on the street behind my house.

[@RCKickschannel]

Wow! cool

[@michaelqendro9825]

Looks like a real nice mini crawler.

[@lo2713]

I must admit, that does look pretty cool 😎 but now, your mission is to get it to 88mph 😁

[@ksavage681]

Hey McFly!!!!!! Nice set of wheels! Wanna race it?

[@Pablo668]

These things do look really good.

[@N_Fortune]

1st! Great channel, love your content! Have you done your 24-hour walk with the Maxx Slash yet?

[@RCKickschannel]

No, that will be in the summer. Loads more training to do yet.

[@KokWuiLai]

Ok yes

[@007-z4p]

Looks great, hopefully the DMC DeLorean will be next !

[@jasont.6300]

Great job by both Gavin and HPI on this. My question (and hope) is will they release a version with the 80's 4runner body on this chassis? That would be great. HPI, if you do this, could you make one the tan color with the SR5 graphics? Please!

[@Rc_Alex_76]

Its a hobbyplus transmission probably axles as well and the furitek lite system so it's from china and the shocks great review

[@AtomskTheGreat]

happy to see it has a separate rx. absolutely no fan of those rx/esc combos.

[@TauJensen-by4qy]

Hpi!👍💪⚓😁

[@fastdude2002]

The fenders flare way too much looking cartoonish and not scale. Too bad, if it was scale I would have bought one as I owned a black 1985 Toyota pickup back in the day.

[@MrGoat73]

It's a really nicely done model & a good performer, but those wheels spoil the looks I reckon! Too big in diameter & the chrome looks terrible with the black hubs. Maybe painted all white with the red body would help! Cheers

[@Grant-by1pc]

Why does it say 88mph?!

[@RCKickschannel]

Back to the future reference

[@lifeincycling]

insert joke about a Hilux being fully licensed vs. US open container laws.

[@proautojapan6152]

I like your vids - but i have no interest in crawlers pal. 🤗👍

[@RCKickschannel]

It's a fun one when the weather sucks and you can't get outside. You would be surprised how addictive it can get setting up random obstacles and just trying to drive them, especially if you have someone to compete against. I like 1/10th myself more but having a few of these little guys in the collection brings RC inside.

[@McRcFly]

Too pricey

[@marrc-w9f]

Not sure what they were thinking when they made them fenders nowhere near scale
