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

Meet the HPI Racing Venture18 – the compact 1/18 scale trail truck built for real off-road adventure. Designed with the same engineering approach as the full-size Venture platform, the Venture18 features a tough formed steel C-channel chassis, realistic suspension geometry, and a durable all-metal 2-speed transmission. With full-time 4WD, locked differentials, oil-filled shocks and counter-rotating driveshafts, this small truck delivers big capability on any terrain.

The Venture18 also brings back officially licensed Toyota bodies to the HPI lineup. The pre-painted 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 body is loaded with scale details including clear windows, Toyota emblems, front grille, wipers, door handles, functional mirrors, tube-style bumpers, rollbars and a working LED light kit. Available in Gloss Black or Gloss Red with stripe graphics.

Fully Ready-to-Run, the Venture18 includes a 600mAh 7.4V LiPo battery and USB charger, so you can hit the trails straight out of the box. Whether crawling obstacles or exploring outdoors, the Venture18 offers the ideal mix of realism, durability and fun.
