The Flux of Adventure Starts Here.
Answer the call of extreme terrain with the HPI Racing Venture18 U4 Flux Ford Bronco 4400 – Loren Healy Edition, the upgraded brushless-powered version of HPI’s compact trail crawler. Inspired by the world of Ultra4 racing, the Flux edition raises the bar with a powerful 12-pole high-torque brushless motor and 30A ESC, offering faster acceleration, increased climbing torque, and greater efficiency over the standard brushed version.

Built on the acclaimed Venture18 platform, this 1/18 scale rock crawler features a rugged steel C-channel chassis, servo-operated 2-speed transmission, fully locked differentials, and high-articulation 4-link suspension. Whether you're bashing through rocky trails or navigating tight technical lines, the Flux delivers superior trail-conquering performance.

The officially licensed Ford Bronco 4400 body comes factory-painted in Loren Healy's iconic desert race livery, with a molded roll cage, LED light bar, and clipless body mount system. Packed with scale realism and real performance, the Venture18 U4 Flux is fully Ready-To-Run with a LiPo battery and USB charger.

If you want more torque, more speed, and more capability from your trail rig – the Flux version is your ultimate upgrade.

 

What’s New in the Flux Edition?

Compared to the standard Venture18 U4, the Flux version includes these significant upgrades:

• Brushless Power System:
  Powered by the FLX-1621-3500KV 12-pole brushless outrunner motor and paired with a FLX18-2S30-T 30A electronic speed control (ESC), the Flux version delivers significantly more torque, improved throttle response, and higher speeds than the brushed version.
• Increased Durability:
  Built to handle the added power, the Flux comes equipped with a robust all-metal drivetrain and universal telescopic driveshafts for long-lasting trail performance.
• Improved Efficiency & Runtime:
  The brushless system offers higher efficiency, generating more power from the same LiPo battery for extended trail adventures.
