About the Venture18 Flux 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5


Authentic Design

The officially licensed 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 body brings exceptional realism to the Venture18 FLUX. Its clipless polycarbonate shell, clear windows, and molded scale details—including Toyota emblems, mirrors, wipers, door handles, and tube-style bumpers—make it a true miniature replica. The adjustable rock rails and Rockthorn 1.2" off-road tires mounted on CS-10 beadlock wheels provide both rugged function and visual authenticity. Whether climbing over rocks or cruising the trail, the sticky rubber tires and chrome-finished wheels ensure grip and performance that match the Venture18’s powerful capabilities.

Advanced Electronics

Powering the Venture18 is the SRL-706 3-in-1 ESC, receiver, and light controller, paired with the TF-706 2.4GHz radio system for precision control. The 55T 180 brushed motor delivers the ideal balance between torque and speed, while the servo-operated 2-speed transmission allows seamless shifting between crawling and trail cruising. A water-resistant SD-01WR steering servo adds reliability and control in all conditions. Every component is engineered to deliver dependable, smooth, and responsive performance.

LED Lighting & Scale Details

The Venture18 takes scale realism to the next level with a fully functional LED lighting system, including working headlights, brake lights, and turn signals. Controlled directly from the transmitter, you can switch between multiple light modes for different driving conditions. The body also includes authentic accessories such as a dual-tube roll bar, removable rollbar lights, and adjustable rock rails. These intricate details make the Venture18 stand out both day and night, combining visual appeal with true trail functionality.

Great job by HPI like this venture r/c truck fun to run

NolgarVerified owneron HPI Venture18 1985 Toyota Hilux SR5 1/18 RTR 4WD Brushed Rock Crawler (Black)

Super worth it! Has a good crawl speed for a brushed motor and the 2 speed makes it super fun. It's way more capable than I thought and can handle some pretty difficult terrain. I recommend the aluminum links,and stainless steel driveshaft. This has become One of my favorites!
