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

The HPI Racing Venture18 is a compact 1/18 scale off-road truck built with the same engineering DNA as its full-size predecessor. Featuring a tough formed steel C-channel chassis, realistic multi-link suspension, counter-rotating driveshafts and a new all-metal 2-speed transmission, it delivers impressive capability on any terrain.

The officially licensed 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 body returns to the HPI lineup, complete with a secure clipless system, clear windows, functional mirrors, realistic tube bumpers, rollbars, wipers, door handles and pre-installed LED lights. Available in Gloss Black or Gloss Red with stripe decals.

Fully Ready-to-Run, the Venture18 includes a 600mAh 7.4V LiPo battery and USB charger, so you can hit the trail straight out of the box.
