Take 2 pounds of crap off of it and get a smaller body.

I did. 😈

Thanks for sharing. I’ve been on the fence about getting either a Gen8 Scout or PACK, and for similar reasons. I’ve considered selling my Venture, but it’s such a stout little rig, and highly reliable. I’m hoping HPI will get picked up by a decent buyer, soon, or that at least the rights to the Venture will be bought, because I’d like to think there’ll be support in the future.

theres something thats alittle off with the gen8 i cant figure out what it is yet but its not so bad that i wont keep tinkering with it till i figure it out





one of the things i like the most about the gen8 is the size most of my new builds are 1/8th scale so its fitting right in with my collection


personaly i would never sell a rc when i get them i kill them

ill rebuild them till i get board of them then put them on a shelf and look at the carnage

every time i see them it reminds me of how much fun i had breaking them and i feel better
