New Venture RC/HPI Toyota FJ body scaler
 

I don't know anything about it, but it looks nice. Anyone have any info?

My gut feeling is Proline but I have no inside info.

Looks like Tayamia Hi Lift axles. Sort of.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

looks good nice to see more options coming along

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Venture RC from what I've read.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Yup.

Venturerc.com

Saw this on Facebook. Makes you wonder.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

If you look closely you'll see 6 screws in the diff covers, so they aren't Tamiya, AR60's, Vaterra or Gmade diffs.

I do like the metal looking shock mount clamps instead of moulded mounts like the others.

I've seen the logo on the diffs and tyres somewhere but can't figure it out yet.

looks interesting, new rig completely. ...

I could see proline doing something like this... After a big 13/14, they didn't do anything major in 2015. Maybe they were saving for a new venture... pun intended. Then again, it could be anything... Definitely interesting.

Traxxas? WTF.

The more I look at that diff cover the more I see an HPI logo. Hotbodies have dabbled on the fringes of crawling for a while. Maybe they are in with both feet? And I think it has to be a big player to be able to afford that Toyota license.

*edit*

that mark has to be telling, if you zoom in on this picture you can see its been photoshopped out.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Has to be more than coincidence the website directs to Traxxas. Interesting indeed.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

That must seal it then.....

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Following along with this one... :ror:

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

There is another photo of this truck posted on Dec 5 on the Venture RC facebook page.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

im all in on a traxxas solid axle scale rig... imagine axial and traxxas trying to one up each other, love them or hate them we cant lose.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

I'm not willing to bet on it, because crazier things have happened, but I just don't see Traxxas getting into parts that are metal. And if this truck is worth it's mettle (hahaha) it's got to have metal frame rails, among other things.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

The Traxxas redirect makes me feel like we are getting trolled.

This!

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Good chance... we'll find out soon enough.

I like it though.

I think I need one.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

I messaged Venture the other day and they said Friday would be the announcement day.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

If not traxxas, I'm guessing proline.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

its obviously integy:shock:

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Judging by all the yotas on their Facebook page,maybe we'll see some new bodies too.like a new taco or cruiser or something .....hopefully

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

hpi.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Epic troll. :ror:

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Or them....

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Although I bet we see a Proline truck in 2016.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

One of the better advertising misdirections I have seen in a while."thumbsup"

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Hope it's not a troll.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

it could be hpi,they wheely king axles used to have clamp on shock/link mounts like the pics. i saw a photo on facebook a little while back and could have sworn it had a hpi symbol on the diff
its been years since they truely updated it. i do agree though it would be nice to see traxxas jump on the scaler market with all the aftermarket support they get

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Any word on when squid is going to drop the 411?

Someone on Facebook said they contacted Venture through their FB page and were told an official announcement would be Friday.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

a monster truck would be cool.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

I mean a scale truck. They already have what they consider to be a monster truck which obviously wasn't solid axle.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Traxial...
