Overview

Get ready for serious crawling performance in a compact package with the HPI Venture18 CC. This isn't just a mini crawler; it's a competition-focused machine built on the proven Venture18 platform, refined in every aspect for maximum capability on any terrain. From its rigid aluminium chassis to its unique half-DIG transmission, this little truck is engineered to tackle the toughest lines.

The Venture18 CC is packed with features. A centre servo operates the half-DIG, allowing you to lock the rear axle on demand for tighter turns and precise pivoting on rocks. The drivetrain includes front overdrive gearing for improved climbing, while brass components like beadlock rings and front hex weights are fitted as standard to lower the centre of gravity and increase forward weight bias. Combined with super-sticky ROVER 1.3" Pink Dot tyres on beadlock wheels, this crawler has incredible grip and stability.

Topping it all off is a stunningly detailed Ridgeline Half Cab body with a clipless mounting system for easy access. It comes pre-painted in either Matte Green or Gunmetal and features scale details like mirrors, a grille, and a tube-style half cage. The Venture18 CC comes fully Ready-To-Run (RTR) with a powerful 3S (3-cell, 11.1V) LiPo battery and USB charger included, making it the perfect choice for anyone wanting serious crawling performance straight out of the box.

Highlights

Built Tough To Look Great

Built Tough To Look Great

The Venture18 CC features a stunning Ridgeline Half Cab body, which is crafted for a detailed, realistic, and rugged style. Highlights like the grille, mirrors, rear roll cage, and tank make it look the part on the trail. Moulded from high-strength polycarbonate, this body is also built to withstand the toughest rollovers.

Half-DIG Transmission

Half-DIG Transmission

The Venture18 CC (Competition Crawler) features a centre servo-operated half-DIG (Digital Integrated Gearing) transmission. At the press of a button, you can disengage rear-wheel drive, sending power only to the front wheels. This simple but powerful tool allows for tighter turning and precision repositioning on difficult climbs.

Pick Your Final Look

Pick Your Final Look

The Venture18 CC comes with a decal set that allows you to choose your final look. With two different livery designs included, you can easily add your favourite scheme to the pre-prepared body shell.

Improved Stability And Protection

Improved Stability And Protection

The Venture18 CC (Competition Crawler) is built with redesigned smooth rock sliders (or rock rails) and a central skid plate to improve stability. These parts cleverly double as trays for the battery and electronics, keeping the centre of gravity (CG) as low as possible. This design ensures better performance and protects the body from terrain hazards.

Easy Access With Clip-Free Body

Easy Access With Clip-Free Body

Say goodbye to small, lost clips with the Clipless Body Mounting System. A single twist-lock and front hinge provide secure, quick access for quick and easy battery swaps.

Super-Sticky Tyres For Maximum Grip

Super-Sticky Tyres For Maximum Grip

The fan-favourite Rover crawler tyre makes a return in a new 33mm size, moulded in super-sticky Pink Dot rubber. These tyres feature aggressive lug patterns that extend onto the sidewalls for grip on moss-covered rocks and slick roots. They are mounted on stylish black CC-6 beadlock wheels for maximum off-road performance.
