I cant see why youd go for the brushed one for £50 less. That brushless system is a masterpiece. 
 

For the record I got £130 for my Stock used TRX4M Bronco. It sold within an hour or so so hardly lost anything. Cant you return it to stock and sell the bits?

No can't put back to stock, sold of the awful radio and esc, so would have to sell minus radio would never get close to what it's worth and cost

 

Also to answer to brushed/brushless question, no i would take brushed all day long for a crawler, i have 1/18th brushed and tried a brushless with same set up as the newe venture and much prefer the brushed, i may consider selling the FTX Rock van Evo and getting the Brushed venture in Black

Earlier i said i would not be getting this new CR-18 HPI Venture but got a large december bonus from work so may sell the rock van and get the HPI.....in black

Looks like a decent little truck as regards spec list but overall it looks very toyish with those daft oversized wheels and sacrifices the “scale” appearance.

 

not one little bit surprised its turned into another slag off Traxxas thread, its getting really boring now. Heard it for years…..

 

i do love the way mini/micro crawling has come on, however, much like the 1/10 scale, i have one of the best there is already in the stable so no real need for another lesser truck. That said, my daughter won one of the early Hpi Ventures, apart from the “rubbery” links and crap tyres, it was a great little truck!! The biggest downside were the parts availability, it was no existent!!

 

i too have good stuff to say about Hpi, had a Savage flux hp & 4.6 nitro, Firestorms, Baja 5b and enjoyed owning all them (apart from the nitro, its just not for me).

 

is the brushless system a rebadged affair?? If so could be tempted to try one of them if they become available.

 

@Kpowell911, again would have bought your Trx4m in a shot at that price.

@Lone-wolf, if you do decide to get rid of yours, i could give it a more loving home.  At least then you can be Traxxas free again…….

Gaz mate no one is slagging Traxxas here we just saying on paper the HPI offers more truck for less money, yes i pointed out that a lawsuit all but killed HPI of to explain why parts can be hard to get and why HPI are not so strong in the market as they might once of been, no not selling you my F-150, it would not meet your demanding standards
