HPI Venture18 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 4WD 1:18 RTR RC Truck - Black

The HPI Racing Venture18 is a compact 1/18 scale trail truck built with the same rugged engineering as the full-size Venture. It features a formed steel C-channel chassis, realistic multi-link suspension, counter-rotating driveshafts and a durable all-metal 2-speed transmission. With locked differentials and oil-filled shocks, the Venture18 delivers dependable handling on all off-road surfaces.

Returning to the HPI lineup is the officially licensed 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 body, available in Gloss Black or Gloss Red. The clipless polycarbonate body includes clear windows, tube bumpers, rollbars, functional mirrors, wipers, light buckets and detailed scale accents. A pre-installed LED light kit adds further realism with selectable modes, turn signals and brake lights.

Fully Ready-to-Run, the Venture18 includes a 600mAh 7.4V LiPo battery and USB balance charger—ready for adventure straight out of the box.
