The Venture 18 is packed with impressive features, including an all-metal 2-speed transmission, 4-link front and rear suspension, and universal telescopic counter-rotating driveshafts. With authentically scaled oil-filled shock absorbers and full-time locked differentials, the Venture 18 offers dependable handling in all off-road conditions. The officially licensed 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 body adds a touch of realism, available in two striking colour options – Gloss Black and Gloss Red. The body is pre-painted and features clear windows, scale details like Toyota emblems, and functional mirrors. The fitted LED light kit enhances the authenticity even further. With its included 600mAh LiPo battery pack and USB balance charger, the Venture 18 is ready to hit the trails right out of the box.

Chassis is loaded with potential, making it extremely versatile on the trail and up tough climbing routes. Its capability lies in several factors, including off-road friendly clearance angles from the tire contact points to the bumpers and chassis, as well as good ground clearance thanks to its minimal diff case size. 

Features aluminum-capped oil-filled threaded body shock absorbers and soft springs that will easily handle the gentle bumps and dips you encounter while driving, as well the harder hits that come with off-road trailing! You can tune your truck's ride with different shock oils or fine-tune on the run with the threaded aluminum spring collars to make the Venture18 perform at its best on the trail.

The water-resistant HPI SD-01WR steering servo is the ideal companion for the Venture18 electronics package. This is a high torque servo with up to 1.1kg-cm holding power at 6V, plus it's water-resistant so it can easily handle splashes and water drops when driving through puddles, snow and mud. Mounted directly to the axle, it provides extra weight over the front axle to enhance the front weight bias of the Venture18.
