Stock is as the vehicle ships. Calculated is worked from the stock figures on this page rather than stored beside them, so the two cannot drift apart. Not published means it exists but no source we could find prints it. The top speed is kinematic: an ideal no-load RPM with no slip and no loss under load, so a real car is slower.

How these numbers were settled

Single-speed competition crawler: unlike the other Venture18s its parts list has no gear-shift linkage (it has a Half-DIG transmission instead), and HPI quotes only the 81.44:1 ratio. The axles are deliberately mismatched - HPI publishes 2.54:1 rear (11T/28T) and 2.00:1 front (13T/26T), so the 81.44:1 figure is the REAR final drive and the overdriven front axle runs about 27% faster, an effective 64.1:1.

Every figure on this page traces to one of these. Where they disagreed, the note above says which was used and why.
