Overview

Introducing the HPI Racing Venture18 – your companion for 1/18 scale off-road adventure. Like its bigger Venture brother, the Venture18 combines a tough formed steel C-channel chassis with a realistic suspension and drivetrain. It's packed with impressive features, including an all-metal, servo-operated 2-speed transmission, allowing you to switch between high-torque crawling and faster trail speeds on the fly. Counter-rotating driveshafts reduce torque twist, while 4-link suspension, authentically scaled oil-filled shocks, and locked differentials provide dependable handling in all conditions.

Marking the return of licensed Toyota products to HPI, the Venture18 features a meticulously crafted 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 body with clear windows and scale accents like mirrors, door handles, tube bumpers, and a rollbar. A convenient clipless mounting system provides easy chassis access. Enhancing the realism further is a fully functional LED light kit with headlights, taillights, brake lights, and indicators, all controllable from the transmitter with multiple modes. This Ready-to-Run package includes a reliable 55T brushed motor, a 2S LiPo battery, and a USB balance charger, making the Venture18 a vehicle ready for freedom, fun, and exploration.
