Ordered flishrc cobra. Communication was great. Ordered larger batteries but they were the wrong size. Olly shipped the right batteries and gave a refund for the difference I paid. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the help with the order.

The seller knew I was after one and very kindly informed me when they came back into stock so now have a Flywing Bell 206. Fantastic bit of kit. Well worth the wait.

About this product
Introducing the HPI Racing Venture18 – your ultimate companion for off-road adventure and exploration. Like its bigger brother, the Venture18 combines a tough formed steel C-channel chassis with a realistic suspension and drivetrain. Despite its compact size, this truck is packed with impressive features, including a new 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 Venture18 offers dependable handling in all off-road conditions.
The Venture18 also marks the return of officially licensed Toyota products to the HPI Racing lineup. The meticulously crafted 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 body features a clipless polycarbonate body, and it’s available in two striking color options – a Gloss Black and a vibrant Gloss Red with a bold stripe kit. The body is prepainted and also features clear windows, plus scale accents like Toyota emblems, front grill, door handles, wipers, functional mirrors, plus tube-style bumpers and rollbars for an impressive level of realism. The fitted LED light kit enhances the authenticity even further, giving the Venture18 that extra layer of detail that truly stands out!
The Venture18 is fully Ready-to-Run (RTR) and includes a 600mAh LiPo battery pack plus a convenient USB balance charger that allows you to charge up anywhere, you can take the Venture18 on your next adventure and experience the thrill of off-road exploration like never before. It’s more than just a toy – it’s a vehicle for freedom, fun, and the spirit of adventure.
Gear up, hit the trails, and let your adVenture begin!

Frequently Asked Questions
The Venture18 is described as suited to experienced collectors and crawling enthusiasts rather than beginners. However, as a Ready-to-Run model that arrives fully assembled, it's more accessible than a kit build—though you should have some familiarity with RC vehicles and terrain crawling to get the most from its capabilities.
The Venture18 includes a 600mAh LiPo battery pack and a USB balance charger, so you can charge it anywhere without needing additional equipment.
The Venture18 is Ready-to-Run, meaning it arrives factory-assembled and pre-painted. It includes the Toyota Hilux SR5 body with LED lights, the 600mAh LiPo battery, USB balance charger, and all mechanical components—no building required.
The Venture18 is a 1/18 scale model, making it a compact off-road truck ideal for indoor and outdoor crawling in smaller spaces, gardens, and technical terrain where larger RC vehicles won't fit.
The Venture18 features an all-metal 2-speed transmission, 4-link front and rear suspension with oil-filled shock absorbers, full-time locked differentials, and a tough formed steel C-channel chassis—all designed to handle rough terrain reliably and provide dependable off-road performance.
