❤️ HPI was making some amazing cars in the 90s and I’m so happy they’re making a comeback! My Super Nitro RS4 is one of the best cars I own!
-
Great video, appreciate you taking the time to put it together. I just pre-ordered the nitro version, parts has me a bit concerned as well, but the hobby shop said they can still order stuff in and hpi is releasing more and more. So why not, always loved their products. I'm also looking into the flux version too haha. Can't wait to break it in.
-
Awesome video on the WR8! I just picked mine up a few days ago and 100% agree that it's so much fun and the driving dynamics are spot on for a rally car! I really appreciated the heads up on the pinion set screw. I immediately took mine off and added some Loctite to the threads before running it for the first time. The set screw did already have some blue thread locker on it, but I'm glad I added some more because this thing pulls HARD!
-
Good to see the WR8 coming back. I had both the Nitro Abu Dhabi and the Flux Ken Block. It's a great platform. These things are tanks. It's the same platform as the Bullet. I got rid of them when parts ran out in the USA but I know where they are at and could probably buy them back if parts support ever returns.
-
I've had my eye on the nitro version of this thing, been wanting a true nitro rally rc car for a while. Glad to see they brought it back
-
It moves like a charm in off road terrain!!! Well done Mark!!!!
-
Can’t wait to get mine! Thanks for the review Mark!
-
That looks great out in the sun, I do like that model. Enjoyable video 👍
-
HPI all the way! got their sprints, blitz and firestorms; hope to see them back in the pack soon
-
I'm glad you done a review on this car man, I have been thinking about getting one. Seeing the power on 3s I can only imagine this beast with a max8
-
Awesome video bro! Hpi rocks! I have an original hpi rs4 pro. The kit that took me down the rabbit hole of rc. Now I want one of those!
-
Geez that's fast!!! 🚀 There should be a dirt rally race series for that. Kinda like the really thing
-
Great video. I realize the main focus is new to hobby. But it is nice to see true experienced driving cars. Nice to have the variety
-
Man that thing looks scale even driving around such a cool car I may get one. Was my favourite rally car of all time since late 90’s when I started watching WRC. I’d be happy with it on a shelf in the garage as I would driving it around
-
it's a perfect car. If you run it 2s, its a little tamer and very stable. Power to HPI
-
Great video nice to see a RC car with some power I have a Schumacher Mi5 chassis that I converted to run on 6 cell it’s awesome.
-
Thanks for the great video! Now I want one.
-
Got mine right here on my desk. Sold my original wr8 years ago and regretted tf outta selling it. This thing is a rerelease dream come true!!
-
Extremely helpful thank you.
-
I’ve been wanting a Rally car for a while. I even thought about converting my Arrma TLR Typhon into a Rally car. Now that I’ve seen this, my TLR Typhon will remain a Buggy, and I’ll be adding this HPI to my collection. I’m a big WRX/STI fanboy too, so this Body is perfect for me! As usual, another great video Mark!
