Built for the Wild. Tuned for Performance.
Unleash the full potential of your off-road passion with the HPI Racing Venture18 U4 Flux Ford Bronco 4400 – Vaughn Gittin Jr. Edition, a 1/18 scale brushless trail crawler inspired by the high-octane world of Ultra4 desert racing. Based on the battle-proven Venture18 platform and infused with the power of the Flux brushless system, this compact crawler is designed to dominate the trail with scale realism, premium components, and aggressive performance.

Whether you’re crawling rocky terrain, navigating steep inclines, or conquering backyard obstacles, the Flux Bronco 4400 delivers full-scale capability in a go-anywhere package. Its rugged formed steel chassis, all-metal drivetrain, and adjustable 4-link suspension system provide unbeatable traction and articulation, while the servo-operated 2-speed transmission gives you the flexibility of high-speed trail runs or low-speed technical climbs.

Featuring an officially licensed Ford Bronco 4400 body in Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s signature race livery, the Venture18 U4 Flux stands out with molded roll cage detail, clipless mounting, LED light bar, and scale interior. The brushless power system, advanced electronics, and Ready-to-Run setup with LiPo battery and charger make it easy to hit the trail right out of the box.

This isn’t just a model. It’s a trail-ready machine built for performance and styled for victory.
