The all-new Sport 3 Venom 2: Drift truck or race truck?
Why not BOTH?!
HPI bodyshell designers were given total freedom to design the original HPI Venom T-10 pick-up bodyshell and we thought it was time to give it a 2024 update! A modern street look was the goal and the result is the Venom 2 T-10 body - a state-of-the-art pick-up design with smoking-hot good looks and wild graphics!
The all-new Venom 2 is combined with the venerable Sport 3 chassis for ultimate ease of use!
The Sport 3 chassis is the latest evolution of HPI Racing's on-road design. It features a completely sealed and highly efficient ball-bearing-supported shaft drivetrain for maximum efficiency combined with reduced maintenance. The suspension design is taken straight from scale and full-size racing technology, with a double wishbone suspension fitted with oil-filled coil-over shock absorbers. The fully sealed drivetrain means there are no exposed gears, belts or drivetrain parts to get stuck with rocks or dirt, and the durable suspension design allows you to tune the car for all types of driving conditions, from club racing to drifting. This is a fully-featured, ready-for-anything car!
We didn't stop there, either - included in the box are not one, but TWO sets of tyres, so you have your choice of wild drift action or speedy 'grip' driving for track and street use! It's completely your choice!
WORK MEISTER S1 WHEELS
The Venom 2 Sport 3 is fitted with WORK MEISTER S1 wheels, which provide a super-cool 'retro mod' look, bold and minimal at the same time - aggressive and functional, perfect for either the street or drift truck look. Work wheels are extensively used by various motorsports teams in GT300, GT500, Formula 3, and the N1 endurance racing series. On the street, they are used on everything ranging from million-dollar McLaren F1 race cars to Spoon Sports Honda Civics.
Race? Drift? How you drive it is up to you!
The superhot pick-up truck body of the Venom 2 is ready for sideways drift action or street racing - just fit the right tyres and you are off!
The Venom 2 Sport 3 comes complete with 2 full sets of tyres. You have your choice of super-fun drift action by fitting the Advan Neova AD07 T-Drift tyres, which are super-stiff hard plastic and mounted on black 5-spoke impact-resistant wheels.
You can also decide to do some street bashing or even track racing using the grippy rubber Spec-Grip tyres, which are also mounted and glued on black 5-spoke impact-resistant wheels.
VENOM 2: The ultimate slammed pickup!
Street trucks with lowered or slammed profiles have a lengthy history, and HPI has consistently provided an RC version of these sought-after mini-trucks. The latest addition to this line is the Venom 2, which brings a fresh, contemporary look to the table.
It mirrors the current trend in the truck market where large hoods and even larger grills are the norm. Despite its modern touches, the Venom 2 still pays homage to the long-standing tradition of street trucks, making it a perfect blend of the old and new.
The Venom 2, with a width of 200mm, is designed to accommodate the majority of contemporary touring car chassis. The bodyshells from HPI are crafted from robust clear polycarbonate—a material known for its high tensile strength and durability. Despite its strength, this material retains flexibility, making it the top choice for high-quality RC bodyshells.
One-Piece Molded Chassis
The main chassis is formed from a single piece of reinforced plastic and features the drivetrain tunnel molded right down the middle, just like a real car. It's a step beyond any plastic tub chassis car available today.
Low Profile Layout Design
One of the ways we gave the Sport 3 the best possible handling was to make sure all the components fit as low as possible in the chassis. This gives the car an amazingly low center of gravity for optimum cornering capabilities.
2S LiPo CAPABLE
The Sport 3 features a versatile electronic speed controller that can be used with modern lithium-polymer (LiPo) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Please note a LiPo adapter plug is not included.
Fits a Wide Variety of Batteries
The Sport 3 chassis can fit lithium-polymer (LiPo) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) packs of various sizes, including the extra-long 7-cell NiMH packs. Whatever your power requirements, it can hold it all! A thick hook-and-loop strap holds the pack securely in place, and a simple battery block screws into place to allow you to adjust the weight distribution forward or backward for extra steering or acceleration.
