HPI Racing WR8 Flux WRC Subaru Impreza 1/8 Scale 4WD Rally Car - RTR from HPI Racing - HPI160217

Version Info: This car is delivered as "RTR", however it does require 4x AA batteries for the transmitter, a 3S (11.1V) LiPo battery and a battery charger, purchased separately (see Requires below for details).

Motion RC is proud to offer HPI Racing’s return of the popular WR8 platform with the classic 2001 WRC Subaru Impreza! The detailed and durable factory-decorated and licensed bodyshell faithfully recreates this iconic vehicle driven by Richard Burns in the 2001 World Rally Championship. For some time now, fans of the WR8 have been demanding that it be brought back once again so that they can enjoy the unique on-road / off-road rampage this platform delivers. Based on the chassis of the HPI Bullet Monster Truck with 4WD shaft drivetrain, powered by the massive 4000KV brushless motor and waterproof 3S-capable speed controller, plus tough bevel gear differentials... there really is no better rally vehicle on the RC market!

Easy to Drive! Just Pull the Trigger! The HPI WR8 FLUX is super-easy to drive and get familiar with – all you have to do is install a battery, plug it in and switch on the radio and car. It’s that easy!

Realistic Rally Wheels and Tires For the ultimate in replica looks and fantastic performance, the vehicle is fitted with race-spec, authentic bronze rally wheels. The wheels really help the car stand out as a scale replica, and for extreme performance, they’re wrapped with soft compound HPI tires molded in real rubber.

Realistic Rally Car Suspension Fans of rally cars, from real ones to scale ones, know that to get the best out of your car you need to have a sturdy, adjustable suspension system. That’s why the HPI Racing WR8 FLUX uses double wishbone suspension at all four corners, fitted with real coil over oil-filled shock absorbers and thick sway bars front and rear, just like real racing cars!

Complete Adjustability-Just like a 1:1 Race Car All this function is nothing if you can’t customize the car to your liking. Although we’ve set the car to be just about perfect right out of the box, you can easily adjust loads of settings, exactly like a real racing car! Ride height, shock angle and more are simple to adjust if desired – HPI make it easy to be your own race car mechanic AND driver
