HobbyPlus DKR-4 Fortis 1/18 Brushed 4WD Rally Raid Truck

Experience miniature desert-rally action with the HobbyPlus DKR-4 Fortis, a highly detailed 1/18-scale rally raid truck engineered for running across dirt, gravel, sand and challenging off-road terrain.

This ready-to-run model combines a durable four-wheel-drive portal-axle chassis with a remote-operated two-speed transmission, long-travel suspension and a dependable brushed power system. Select low gear for technical terrain and controlled manoeuvring, or shift into high gear when the course opens up.

The scale rally body includes a tilting cab, gullwing rear access panels and two full-size spare wheels. A functional remote-controlled front winch, comprehensive LED lighting and aggressive rally tyres complete its authentic competition-truck appearance.

Brushed Power System

The DKR-4 Fortis uses a torque-focused 280-size 55T brushed motor with a 15-tooth pinion. It is paired with a FlySky FS-R6A3-BS combined electronic speed controller and receiver designed for use with the included 2S LiPo battery.

This brushed configuration provides smooth, predictable throttle response for mixed rally and trail driving. The factory electronics are water-resistant, helping protect the model against splashes encountered during normal off-road use.

Remote-Controlled Two-Speed Transmission

Change the truck’s performance without stopping to adjust the drivetrain manually. The six-channel transmitter allows the transmission to be shifted remotely between:

• Low gear for technical terrain and controlled driving
• High gear for faster rally-style running
• Neutral for recovery and winching situations

A factory-installed front winch can also be operated from the transmitter, providing functional recovery capability as well as additional scale realism.

Portal-Axle 4WD Chassis

Locked front and rear portal axles deliver continuous four-wheel drive and increased ground clearance beneath the axle housings. The long-travel suspension, oil-filled shocks and pre-installed anti-roll bars provide a useful balance between off-road articulation and stability at higher speeds.

Metal gears, driveshafts, outdrives and dogbones strengthen the drivetrain, while CNC aluminium chassis rails provide a rigid foundation for the suspension and body.

Rally-Raid Body Details

The detailed rally truck body has been designed to provide convenient access without sacrificing its realistic appearance. The front cab tilts forward to expose the electronics, while the gullwing rear panels open to access the battery and receiver compartment.

Two full-size spare wheels are mounted at the rear, complementing the rally-inspired bodywork and equipment arrangement.
