HPI Racing Venture18 CC Flux Competition 1:18 RTR RC Crawler - Gunmetal

Venture18 CC – 1/18 Scale Competition Crawler

The Venture18 CC is a compact competition-ready crawler built for serious off-road performance. Featuring a rigid 2mm aluminum chassis, center servo-operated Half-DIG transmission, smoothed underside, front overdrive gearing, and low-mounted brass components, it delivers exceptional control and traction on challenging terrain.

The pre-painted Ridgeline Half Cab body (Matte Green or Gunmetal) includes clear windows, detailed grille, functional mirrors, and a tube-style half cage with rear tank. With no front or rear bumpers, nothing interferes with climbing or descent angles.

Ready-to-Run (RTR), the Venture18 CC includes a 360mAh 11.1V LiPo battery and USB balance charger so you can hit the trails immediately.
