About this product
Big capability, small footprint. The HPI Venture18 CC Flux Competition Crawler (HPI-16080CC) distils proven crawling tech into a compact 1/18 RTR package that’s built to conquer technical terrain. A rigid 2mm aluminium chassis, centre servo-operated half-DIG transmission and smoothed underside work with front overdrive gearing and strategically placed brass components to maximise control, traction and stability.
The clipless Ridgeline Half Cab body arrives pre-painted in Matte Green or Gunmetal, with clear windows, functional mirrors and a tube-style rear cage. Super-sticky ROVER 1.3 inch Pink Dot S-compound tyres are mounted to CC-6 beadlock wheels with brass inner rings, lowering the centre of gravity without bulky bumpers to snag on obstacles. Ready to run out of the box, the Venture18 CC includes a 360mAh 11.1V LiPo and USB balance charger, plus a 2.4GHz TF-706 thumbstick radio.
