HPI Racing Venture18 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 - Blue

The HPI Racing Venture18 lineup just got even bolder, now available in two stunning new color options: Blue and Crème!

Whether you’re tackling rocky trails or cruising through backyard terrain, the Venture18 continues to deliver the perfect blend of rugged performance and authentic scale detail. With its tough formed steel C channel chassis, realistic 4 link suspension, and all metal 2 speed transmission, this compact crawler is built to perform just like its full sized counterpart.

The officially licensed 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 body returns with the same incredible attention to detail, from the clipless polycarbonate design and clear windows to scale accents like Toyota emblems, molded wipers, door handles, and tube style bumpers. The fitted LED light kit keeps the realism alive even after dark.

Now, with the introduction of Blue and Crème, you can make your next adVenture uniquely yours. Subtle and classic or bold and bright, whichever you choose, your Venture18 will turn heads on every trail.

Fully Ready to Run (RTR) with a 600mAh LiPo battery and USB balance charger, the Venture18 is always ready when you are.

Each new Venture18 colorway pays tribute to the heritage of the original Toyota Hilux, featuring official factory paint colors from the 1985 lineup. The Blue and Crème finishes capture the authentic look and feel of the legendary Hilux SR5, giving collectors and enthusiasts alike the chance to own a true-to-life scale representation of this off road icon. Every detail has been recreated with precision to honor Toyota’s timeless design and celebrate HPI Racing’s commitment to realism and quality.

So pick your color, pack your gear, and take your adVenture further — the trail’s calling.
