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!
The Venture18 is fully Ready-to-Run (RTR) and includes a 600mAh LiPo battery pack plus a convenient USB balance charger that allows you to charge up anywhere, you can take the Venture18 on your next adventure and experience the thrill of off-road exploration like never before. It’s more than just a toy – it’s a vehicle for freedom, fun, and the spirit of adventure.
