The Mini-King is far more than a Venture 18 fitted with a monster truck shell. It has evolved into an entirely new machine created to capture the huge personality of the full-size Big Kahuna Monster Truck in a compact 1:18 scale. Almost every part of the Venture18 platform has been replaced to deliver true mini-monster performance.
A tough TVP composite chassis, twin oil-filled shocks at all four corners, and massive new axle housings with three-gear differentials transform this truck into a compact powerhouse. A single-speed transmission drives counter-rotating CVD steel center shafts for smooth power delivery, while heavy-duty lower links and the officially licensed Big Kahuna body complete the transformation.
Powered exclusively by Flux brushless technology, the Mini-King punches far above its size. We’re confident its speed, torque, and control will leave you absolutely blown away.
Topping it all off is the fully licensed Ford Bronco 4400 bodyshell, an RC replica inspired by the real-life Big Kahuna truck, run by Shane England, with the help of RTR Vehicles and Vaughn Gittin Jr. Motorsports. Featuring a detailed interior, internal roll cage, and working LED grill bar, this stunning body brings authentic Big Kahuna style and realism to the Mini-King.
The truck comes with working grille LEDs already installed, and the roof-mounted light bar location is designed to be LED-ready for easy upgrades. Owners can simply install the optional Light Bar Set (#160869) with no modifications required. For even more lighting features—including advanced modes and control options—the RL-700 Light Control Unit (#160861) can be added to expand functionality.
Whether you’re running at dusk, carving through indoor courses, or lighting up nighttime bash sessions, the Mini-King is prepared to shine just like the real Big Kahuna.
The Big Kahuna name has serious pedigree — and your new HPI Racing Mini King Big Kahuna model brings that legacy straight into your hands. Driven and owned by Shane England out of Powderly, Texas, Big Kahuna made its debut in 2013 and has become a fan-favourite for its daring stunts, bold graphics and surf-culture flair.
We’ve captured that spirit in a meticulously licensed bodyshell: the Ford Bronco 4400–inspired design that Big Kahuna unveiled for its modern era. Every curve, graphic and detail reflects the real truck’s aesthetic, from the surf-board silhouette to the rugged roll-cage and standout “BIG KAHUNA” brand.
Crafted from high-strength polycarbonate, the bodyshell is screenprinted and hand-finished with cutout windows sitting atop a hard-plastic internal roll cage for scale authenticity and durability.
It’s a full-fidelity tribute to the real Big Kahuna truck, now shrunk to RC scale with all the attitude intact.
Scale-accurate 1.2-inch MT-1 deep dish wheels give the Mini-King its unmistakable monster truck stance, and each wheel is wrapped in Tredz TRZ 72×50 monster truck tires with foam inserts for reliable grip on dirt, carpet, and loose surfaces. These tires are designed to deliver confident traction while maintaining the round profile and sidewall flex you’d expect from full-size monster truck rubber.
To fine-tune the width of the truck, the Mini-King includes two removable 7 mm hex adaptors. Drivers can choose the standard stance for precise handling or install the wider +5.5mm offset for increased stability during high-speed runs and aggressive cornering. The wheels are supported by aluminum 7mm drive hexes, ensuring a secure connection to the axle and improved durability under heavy loads.
