I don't have a Venture (yet). With that being said there are upgrades out there.

Very true! Tires and servo seem to be the consensus. Can’t wait to run it up against the Bronco!

Yes yes i do here it is with me JK that I am still working on. I will have to say my LHS is probably the best in western Pa. Their inventory is probably better than most online sites. I haven't put up any pictures in a couple months of the mountains of kits that they have. The last weekend when I was there I noticed the Traxxashit mountain was stocked for Christmas. It was estimated at $35000 in just kits and bodies. That's probably on the lower side too.
But here you go

Do they have an online store? Hell I’d rather support them. I can’t find one anywhere.

I don't think they do online sales. I have never seen or heard of items being shipped out. I have spent 2-3 hours at times and it just amazes me how much moves out of there at times.

Found these in my library from about a month ago. It's hard to tell but the center is full of kits also that is only about 1/2 of in the picture


The stack of the other brands

It does look like the cheap ebay bumpers that are made to fit trx-4 and scxII also fit the venture.
Atleast a jeep bumper for the trx4/scxII does.

THe once where you can slide the mounting posts abit.

Hot racing makes one I believe and there are numerous 3D printed ones, bowhouse RC comes to mind.

The Bowhouse is the one won’t fit with the steel sliders.

Which sliders does it not work with? There are a couple styles out there.

Edit: you must be talking about the scalerfab ones. Rc4wd makes 2 styles that mount the way the stock ones do. They should allow the use of the bowhouse tray.

Yep...exactly...at the 18:18 mark in the video above he talks about his BowHouse battery tray issue with the ScalerFab sliders. And I really like those sliders for dirt deflection since I can’t find the OEM wheel wells anywhere. If I could find the wheel wells then I could go to the RC4WD sliders and BowHouse tray.

Guess I’ll wait and see if I can track them down anywhere. I think I’ll call HPI and see if I can find out if they were released yet. Someone said they weren’t out yet.
