HobbyPlus DKR-4 Fortis 1/18 Brushless 4WD Rally Raid Truck – Red

Experience the excitement of desert rally competition in a compact format with the HobbyPlus DKR-4 Fortis Brushless Rally Raid Truck. This highly detailed 1/18 scale 4WD truck combines realistic competition-inspired bodywork with a capable portal-axle chassis, long-travel suspension and a powerful HobbyPlus/Hobbywing brushless system.

Designed for driving across dirt, gravel, sand and technical trails, the DKR-4 features a remote-operated two-speed transmission, functional recovery winch and heavy-duty metal drivetrain components. The detailed red rally body includes a tilting cab, opening gullwing side panels and two usable spare wheels mounted at the rear.

A FlySky six-channel radio system, 2S LiPo battery and USB charger are included, making the Fortis almost ready to run straight from the box.

Brushless FOC Power System

The Fortis is powered by a 2435-size 3500KV four-pole in-runner brushless motor paired with a water-resistant MINI24 sensorless ESC.

Field-Oriented Control helps the truck maintain smooth and predictable throttle response at low speeds. This makes the DKR-4 suitable for technical trail driving while still providing the performance required for faster rally-style running.

The ESC supports compatible 2S and 3S LiPo batteries. A 7.4V 1100mAh 2S LiPo battery is supplied for operation out of the box.

Two-Speed Transmission

The remotely controlled two-speed transmission allows the driver to select the most suitable gearing without stopping the truck.

• Low Gear: Improved control and torque for technical terrain
• High Gear: Faster running across open dirt, gravel and sand
• Neutral: Disengages drive when required

Portal-Axle 4WD Chassis

Sealed solid portal axles provide additional ground clearance beneath the axle housings. The front and rear axles are locked for dependable traction across loose or uneven terrain.

Heavy-duty metal driveshafts, outdrives and drivetrain gears help the Fortis withstand demanding off-road use. Long-travel suspension and oil-filled shocks absorb bumps, while factory-installed anti-roll bars improve stability during faster cornering.

Realistic Rally-Raid Details

The ABS hardbody captures the appearance of a full-size desert rally truck. The cab tilts forward for access to the interior and electronics, while gullwing-style side panels open to reveal the rear equipment and battery area.

Two full-size spare wheels are mounted at the rear and can be used as functional replacements. The scale appearance is completed by detailed mirrors, protective bodywork, an interior, roof-mounted lighting and a functional front recovery winch.

LED Lighting System

The factory-installed lighting package includes:

• Front headlights
• Roof-mounted LED light bar
• Front underside rock lights
• Additional integrated scale lighting

The lighting and winch functions can be operated through the included multi-channel radio system.
