Hobby Plus DKR-4 Fortis 1:18 4WD Rally Truck Brushed RTR White #HBP1810810-WH

The Fortis is much more than a small RC truck with a detailed body. Its metal drivetrain components, front and rear stabiliser bars, 1.3″ wheels and 68 mm all-terrain tyres make it suitable for gravel, sand, forest trails and other uneven surfaces.

The model comes as an RTR package, including a FlySky 6-channel 2.4 GHz transmitter, 2S LiPo battery and USB charger.

Two-Speed Gearbox for Trail and Rally Driving

One of the most interesting features of the DKR-4 Fortis is its remote-controlled 2-speed transmission.

The lower gear is ideal for slower and more technical terrain where precise throttle control and torque are important. The higher gear provides more wheel speed for open gravel roads, rally-style driving and faster off-road sections.

The gearbox also features a neutral position.

This makes the Fortis considerably more versatile than a typical single-speed mini off-road RC vehicle.

Portal Axles and Long-Travel Suspension

The DKR-4 uses solid portal axles at the front and rear. The portal axle design increases ground clearance around the axle and helps the truck negotiate rocks, ruts and uneven terrain.

The long-travel suspension is complemented by front and rear stabiliser bars, helping reduce body roll during faster driving.

This chassis design allows the Fortis to combine slower technical off-road driving with faster rally raid-style driving.

Scale Appearance with Functional Details

The Fortis ABS hard body is inspired by full-size rally raid trucks and includes a highly detailed cab and rear body structure.

Several scale details are also functional:

• Tilting cab for easier access
• Opening rear side panels
• Two usable full-size spare wheels
• Functional front electric winch
• Headlights
• Roof-mounted LED light bar
• Rock-light style underbody LEDs

The result is a model that looks realistic but is still designed to be driven.

Heavy-Duty Metal Drivetrain

The DKR-4 Fortis uses several reinforced metal drivetrain components, including metal transmission gears, drive shafts, axles and output components.

This is particularly useful during off-road driving, where the drivetrain is exposed to higher loads than on a typical on-road RC car.

280 / 55T Brushed Power System

This version of the DKR-4 Fortis is powered by a 280-size 55T brushed motor with a 15T pinion.

The motor is controlled by a FlySky FS-R6A3-BS 2-in-1 brushed ESC and receiver unit. Power comes from the included 2S 7.4 V 600 mAh LiPo battery with XT30 connector.

The brushed version is a good choice for drivers looking for a simple, controllable and reliable power system for mixed rally and trail driving.

Where Can You Drive the DKR-4 Fortis?

The Fortis is designed mainly for mixed terrain and off-road use. Suitable surfaces include:

• Gravel roads
• Hard-packed dirt
• Forest trails
• Sand and dry soil
• Small rocks and uneven terrain
• Garden and backyard off-road courses
• Scale and trail driving
• Rally raid-style tracks

Its 4WD system, portal axles and 68 mm all-terrain tyres give it significantly more off-road capability than a conventional 1:18 rally car.

Who Is the Hobby Plus DKR-4 Fortis For?

Rally and off-road enthusiasts: the Fortis combines rally raid truck styling with a capable 4WD off-road chassis.

Scale RC enthusiasts: the detailed ABS hard body, functional lighting, winch and spare wheels give the model a realistic appearance.

Trail driving: low gear, portal axles and four-wheel drive allow the truck to handle slower and more technical terrain.

Faster rally-style driving: high gear and stabiliser bars make it suitable for faster driving on open gravel and dirt surfaces.

Drivers looking for something different: the DKR-4 is not simply a crawler or conventional rally car. It combines elements of both in a compact Rally Raid Truck platform.
