HPI Racing elevates the compact crawler experience with the Venture18 U4 Flux, equipping this trail-ready truck with a significant power upgrade. This version pairs the officially licensed Ford Bronco 4400 body with a high-performance Flux brushless system, delivering more speed, power, and efficiency for tackling tough terrain. The detailed body, inspired by Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s Ultra4 machine with Loren Healy's high-impact desert race livery, features a tube-style roll cage, a complete interior, and a functional spare wheel. A front-hinged clipless mounting system allows for easy access to the chassis, while the transmitter-controlled LED light bar keeps the adventure going after sunset.
The Venture18 Flux is built to handle the extra brushless power. Its foundation is a strong, formed steel C-channel chassis, equipped with a durable, all-metal 2-speed transmission that lets you choose between high-torque crawling and high-speed trail running. The upgraded 1.5kg metal-geared steering servo provides strong, precise control, while the 4-link suspension and oil-filled shocks ensure the tyres stay planted for maximum grip. As a complete Ready to Run package, this RC truck includes the powerful Flux electronics, a 2S LiPo battery, and a USB charger, offering top-tier performance straight out of the box.
Say goodbye to fiddly body clips! The Venture18 U4 features a secure clipless body mounting system with a front hinge and a single rear twist-lock. This clever design offers fast, easy access to the chassis for quick battery swaps and maintenance, letting you spend more time enjoying a seamless experience on the trail.
Light up the trail with a fully functional LED light bar integrated into the front grill. Controlled directly from your transmitter, you can easily cycle through Day, Dusk, and Night modes on the fly. This built-in lighting system provides perfect illumination for any condition, enhancing realism and extending your crawling adventures after dark.
This isn't just a model; it's a miniature legend. The tough polycarbonate body replicates Loren Healy's Ford Bronco 4400, complete with a protective internal tube-style roll cage and a functional spare wheel. Inside, the detailed cockpit with driver figures and dash components delivers a competition-ready look straight out of the box.
Get maximum grip with TREDZ TRAILBLASTER tyres. Moulded in a sticky rubber compound, these oversized 1.2" tyres are 4mm larger for improved ground clearance and sidewall traction on tough obstacles. Mounted on colour-matched CL-5 beadlock wheels with hidden wheel nuts, this setup delivers incredible performance and a clean, scale-authentic look.
At the heart of this rig is the powerful FLX18-1621-3500KV brushless motor. Its advanced 12-pole out-runner design delivers exceptional torque and a smooth feel across the entire RPM range. Whether you are crawling slowly over rocks or blasting down a trail, this motor provides the seamless and reliable power you need for any situation.
This Venture18 is powered by the FLX18-3S20-T waterproof brushless ESC. Compatible with 2-3S LiPo batteries, it lets you switch between Crawling mode with drag brake and a faster Trail mode directly from the transmitter. For ultimate control, this lightweight 13g ESC is programmable with the optional Hobbywing LED card to fully customise your driving experience.
Instantly switch from technical crawling to high-speed action. The all-metal, servo-operated 2-speed transmission lets you change gears with a flick of a switch on your transmitter. Use the ultra-low gear (81.44:1 ratio) for precise control on obstacles or shift to high gear (20.36:1 ratio) for a burst of speed.
Take complete command with the advanced TF-706 6-channel 2.4GHz radio. This lightweight system is fully featured, allowing remote control of lighting and ESC settings. It even includes a thumb stick option for easy one-handed driving—perfect for filming your trail adventures while maintaining precise control over your rig.
The Venture18 features a reliable 4-link suspension front and rear, using sturdy 4mm composite links for predictable handling on rough terrain. The chassis layout has been updated specifically for the Ford Bronco 4400 body, with a redesigned rear brace that neatly houses the battery and radio components for an optimised setup.
Navigate the tightest lines with ease. The Venture18 boasts an impressive 45 degrees of steering angle right out of the box, thanks to its optimised steering setup and front universal driveshafts. This extreme steering capability allows for incredible manoeuvrability on technical trails without you needing to perform any complicated modifications.
The all-metal transmission and durable driveline are not only incredibly tough and brushless-ready but are also designed for a super-low centre of gravity. This design enhances the truck's stability and balance, giving you the confidence to tackle challenging obstacles and steep climbs while keeping the truck firmly planted on its tyres.
