Key Features
The Wayfinder is fitted with the ever reliable HPI SC-3SWP3 brushed ESC. This is ESC is capable of handling up to 11.1V of electric power and provides a reliable and controllable experience that allows you to crawl with a high level of peace of mind. The SC-3SWP3 features HPIs HDC hill descent control system and can be adjusted to suit the level of incline you are on.
The Wayfinder comes with a high torque, 8kg servo factory installed. Its front mounting position helps with weight bias while its durable high torque design helps you get where you need to go.
The Wayfinder has not only been engineered to be a high performance crawler, it has also been put together with scale realism in mind. With a swing out spare tyre arm, moulded plastic roof racks and wing mirrors, front mounted motor, stylish Rockthorn off-road tyres on CR-10 rims, and much more, the Wayfinder is sure to impress from both a performance and aesthetic standpoint.
The Standard Venture was already a capable crawler, but the Wayfinder includes a selection of hand-picked hop-up parts that will make it even more capable, not just on the trail, but also through the most difficult terrain. If you already have a Venture, all of these options are also available separately to enhance and strengthen your truck.
The Wayfinder has been designed with crawling performance in mind. One of the most noticeable features is an adjustable battery tray mount. With 3 different mounting positions, front bias, mid bias and rear bias, the Wayfinder can be adjusted to a 56/44, 53/47 and a 50/50 weight bias respectively. This allows you to easily customise the performance of your crawler to suit your terrain.
There is nothing worse than snapped driveshafts when you are out on the trail. HPI have done their best to ensure this is not something to worry about by fitting the Wayfinder with a full metal transmission and drivetrain. This is an even more important feature if you choose to upgrade to a 3S LiPo.
