About this product
The HPI Racing Venture18 Flux lineup expands once again, now available in two stunning official Toyota color options: Blue and Crème!
Building on the proven Venture18 platform, the new Flux edition takes performance to the next level with a high-torque brushless power system and refined electronics for even greater control on any terrain.
At its heart lies the new FLX18-3S20-T Brushless ESC, a true trail-ready controller designed for versatility and control. This advanced ESC allows you to switch instantly between Crawling Mode, with full drag brake for technical terrain, and Trail Mode for smooth throttle response and flowing exploration. The result is a truck that’s just as capable of slow, precise crawling as it is of high-speed trail running.
The officially licensed 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 body returns with the same meticulous detail, featuring a clipless polycarbonate shell, clear windows, and authentic scale touches such as Toyota emblems, molded wipers, door handles, mirrors, and tube-style bumpers. The fitted LED light kit enhances realism, making your adVenture shine day or night.
The new Blue and Crème finishes are more than just colors — they’re authentic factory paint codes taken directly from the original 1985 Toyota Hilux lineup. These genuine Toyota heritage shades capture the spirit of the real Hilux SR5, giving the Venture18 Flux an unmistakably classic look that honors its full-scale inspiration.
Fully Ready to Run (RTR) and powered by HPI Racing’s proven Flux brushless technology, the Venture18 Flux is built for those who want performance, precision, and the pure thrill of adventure.
Choose your color, switch your mode, and experience the freedom of the trail — your next adVenture begins with the Venture18 Flux.
