Introducing the HPI Racing Venture18 – your ultimate companion for off-road adventure and exploration. Like its bigger brother, the Venture18 combines a tough formed steel C-channel chassis with a realistic suspension and drivetrain. Despite its compact size, this truck is packed with impressive features, including a new all-metal 2-speed transmission, 4-link front and rear suspension, and universal telescopic counter-rotating driveshafts. With authentically scaled oil-filled shock absorbers and full-time locked differentials, the Venture18 offers dependable handling in all off-road conditions.

The Venture18 also marks the return of officially licensed Toyota products to the HPI Racing lineup. The meticulously crafted 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 body features a clipless polycarbonate body, and it’s available in two striking color options – a Gloss Black and a vibrant Gloss Red with a bold stripe kit. The body is prepainted and also features clear windows, plus scale accents like Toyota emblems, front grill, door handles, wipers, functional mirrors, plus tube-style bumpers and rollbars for an impressive level of realism. The fitted LED light kit enhances the authenticity even further, giving the Venture18 that extra layer of detail that truly stands out!

FLX18-3S20 FLUX ESC
The Venture18 is equipped with a highly versatile FLX18-3S20 waterproof electronic speed controller, which is packed with a full range of adjustments and capabilities. The FLX18-3S20 is compatible with 2-3S LiPo and packs a lot of punch into something only 13g in weight.

The FLX18-3S20 is compatible with the Hobbywing LED program card (available separately) which lets you customize multiple parameters, including voltage cutoff, motor rotation, and drag brake.

The water-resistant HPI SD-02MGWR steering servo is the ideal companion for the Venture18 electronics package. This is a high torque servo with up to 1.5kg-cm holding power at 6V, plus it's water-resistant so it can easily handle splashes and water drops when driving through puddles, snow and mud. Mounted directly to the axle, it provides extra weight over the front axle to enhance the front weight bias of the Venture18. 

• Operating Voltage: 4.8-6V
• 6V: Speed: 0.15 sec/60 degrees, Torque: 1.5kg-cm
• Servo Spline: 40T

FLX18-1621-3500KV OUTRUNNER MOTOR
The FLX18-1621-3500KV 12-Pole Hi-Torque Brushless Outrunner Motor is the heart of your Venture18’s powerhouse performance.
