Overview

HPI Racing introduces the Venture18 U4, a compact rock crawler that brings the excitement of off-road adventure to a go-anywhere size. This vehicle features an officially licensed Ford Bronco 4400 body, inspired by Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s team mate Loren Healy's unmistakable Ford Bronco 4400 Ultra4 machine. The design includes a tough polycarbonate body with a tube-style roll cage, a detailed interior with driver figures, and a functional spare wheel. For convenience, it uses a front-hinged clipless body mounting system, making battery changes and chassis access quick and simple. A multi-mode LED light bar is integrated into the front grill, with control right from the transmitter for driving day or night.

Underneath the body, the Venture18 is built on a proven platform designed for performance. It uses a strong, formed steel C-channel chassis as its foundation. The drivetrain is a highlight, featuring an all-metal, servo-operated 2-speed transmission that allows you to switch between high-torque crawling and faster trail speeds. Power is sent to all four wheels through a full-time 4WD system with locked differentials and counter-rotating driveshafts, which help to manage torque twist when climbing. The 4-link suspension and oil-filled shocks provide smooth and consistent handling over rough ground. This is a complete Ready to Run package, including a LiPo battery and USB charger. Grab some AA batteries, and you can hit the trail right out of the box.

Note

Transmission Gearing: Low Gear - 81.44:1, High Gear - 20.36:1.

An optional Roof Light Kit (#160869) is available for extra lighting.

The SD-01WR steering servo is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. Avoid full submersion.
