Venture18 Flux 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 - red

Introducing the HPI Racing Venture18 - your perfect companion for off-road adventures and exploration.

Like its bigger brother, the Venture18 combines a durable, molded steel frame with realistic suspension and drivetrain. Despite its compact dimensions, the car is packed with impressive features, including a new all-metal two-speed transmission, four-link front and rear suspension, and universal telescopic counter-rotating driveshafts. With authentically graded oil shocks and fully locked differentials, the Venture18 offers reliable handling in all terrain conditions.

Venture18 also marks the return of officially licensed Toyota products to HPI Racing. The meticulously crafted polycarbonate body of the 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 is free of staples and is available in two striking color options - Gloss Black and Bright Gloss Red. Both color versions are available in two power options - DC and AC (Flux).

The body is pre-painted and also includes clear windows and model accessories such as Toyota badges, front grille, door handles, wipers, working mirrors, plus tubular bumpers and a roll cage for a high level of realism. The fitted LED light kit further enhances the authenticity and gives the Venture18 an extra layer of detail that really makes it stand out. The lights can also be controlled directly from the transmitter.

The Venture18 offers 5 different light modes that can be easily switched with a simple press of a button on the transmitter. From day mode, through twilight to night mode for full illumination - the Venture18 will not let you down in any lighting conditions.

The Venture18 is equipped with a robust and reliable four-link suspension system front and rear. The lower and upper suspension links front and rear are made of 4mm composite rods with integrated ball joints.

The Venture18 chassis is extremely versatile on and off-road. Its capabilities lie in several factors, from approach angles and tire contact points to off-road-friendly bumpers and chassis, as well as good ground clearance thanks to the minimal size of the axle boxes.

The Venture18 features an all-metal, servo-driven two-speed transmission designed for superior performance and durability. With the push of a switch on the transmitter, you can effortlessly switch between low and high gears, giving you the flexibility to tackle any terrain with ease.

The low gear boasts an impressive 81.44:1 gear ratio, providing exceptional ability to slow down narrow, technical trails and obstacles. And when you need to pick up some speed on a flat, open stretch - or just need a lot of power to get up a hill - just shift to high gear on the transmitter, giving you a 20.36:1 gear ratio that will give you plenty of speed.

Say goodbye to traditional body clips. The Venture18 Clipless Body Mounting System offers a hassle-free, safe and efficient solution for closing and opening your body. Designed for ease of use and built to last, this system eliminates the need for ordinary clips that can get lost or break during long journeys. With a front swivel mechanism and rear hinge, you'll enjoy quick access to the chassis and easy battery replacement, making your Venture18 experience smoother and more enjoyable than ever before.
