About the Ford Bronco 4400
Ultra4‑Inspired Scale Body
This Venture18 features a fully licensed Ford Bronco 4400 polycarbonate body that captures the aggressive stance and rugged design of real Ultra4 competition trucks. Scale details include a molded tube‑style roll cage and interior, a front LED light bar, and a clipless body mounting system that provides quick, clean access without traditional body clips.
The factory‑finished VGJR race livery delivers standout visual impact while remaining tough enough for trail use.
Chassis, Suspension & Drivetrain
Feature‑Rich Venture18 Platform
At the core is a formed steel C‑channel ladder chassis designed for strength, durability, and realistic flex. The full‑time 4WD drivetrain uses all‑metal gears, locked differentials, and telescopic universal driveshafts to deliver consistent torque and maximum traction over rocks and uneven terrain.
A servo‑operated 2‑speed transmission allows on‑the‑fly switching between low‑speed crawling control and higher trail speed. 4‑link suspension front and rear, combined with oil‑filled shocks, provides smooth articulation, stability, and controlled axle movement.
Power & Control
Brushless Flux Performance
The brushless outrunner motor and ESC deliver efficient, responsive power with excellent low‑speed control and increased trail speed compared to brushed versions. An upgraded metal‑geared steering servo ensures reliable steering authority when navigating technical lines and obstacles.
A 600mAh 2S LiPo battery and USB balance charger are included, so you’re ready to run right out of the box.
