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 aggressive 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.
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 Vaughn Gittin Jr.'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.
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.
