New HPI Venture18 U4 Bronco 4400

Saw a teaser for this the other day and had low expectations. DANG was today's release not disappointing!

If you've been on YouTube at all today, you have probably seen every creator and their mother doing a review. Looks like a very solid little rig!

Also, I think I may speak for everyone when I say, we want this is 1:10!!

I do not have experience with their electronics, but I can only assume the drag brake can be enabled/disabled like most other ESCs these days. I know it has a 2-speed trans which is pretty cool to rip around the trail at higher speed, then downshift and crawl.

I heard that Horizon or Arrma (owned by Horizon) just picked up HPI.

Seems cool, but a lot like the Meus Racing MB18 kit for the TRX4m.

Ehhhhh idk. What are your sources? HPI seems to be doing alright and I don't think that they sell anything that HH doesn't already sell currently. Except the 10th scale TCs.

On the Arrma site someone posted an Arrma/HPI release stating that HPI is now under the Horizon umbrella. It's the Arrma site so I won't state it as fact.

that's Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR or "Ready To Rock" logo. there's and RTR mustang and probably some other stuff i don't pay attention to. has nothing to do with Arrma. someone just doesn't know and is drawing conclusions.

 

[luke66]

Yep. RTR is not the RR logo from Arrma. look up RTR Mustangs.

I have combed the internet looking for an official source for this info and found nothing. We're in agreement, Arrma babble.
My apologies for passing on the misinformation.

funny you posted this. I saw on Instagram this morning that FMS is releasing this truck in a new Ford/RTR livery calling it the "RTR EB"

I still want it in 1/10! lol

I saw this on 2FM RC, it looks like my type of mini/micro.
