Three_Stacks Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I'm a bit late to the HPI WR8 party, but I got my car on Friday and had my first real outing with it today in my local shopping centre (after everyone had gone home and the place was deserted... OH MY GOD, I love this car !! It is insane !! I'm running it on 3S, with a 15T pinion and I am really impressed with it out of the box. I have some Proline Power Stroke Shocks and camber turnbuckles on order, but this thing is fantastic ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually wanted a WR8 Flux since they were first released, but finally got one 2 weeks ago. The body is growing on me haha. Ill be getting the HPI Subaru body and some different wheels soon. That will be amazing. This was a photo I took on my first outing with it on a damp carpark. It really does have the power to drift even on 2S. Love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three_Stacks Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Looking good, just a shame that everywhere is out of spares! Been waiting on Proline Power Stoke Shocks for over 2 months! I'm through my first set of tyres, and have to order the metal braces from a hobby shop in Australia ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douge one Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 New Wr8 is here 😉 http://www.hpiracing.com/en/kit/160217 Of course nothing new about it 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyUK Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Probably resurrecting an old thread here but does anyone know the definite sizes of the tyre inner foams? Its the new WR8 Subaru but same as the previous incarnation I believe. Ideally I need to know the foam dimensions for both the road wheels and the off road wheels please. Can't seem to find any mention of them on the Hpi website. Thanks in advance 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tomr Posted June 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2022 Just received mine 🙂 Haven’t had a chance to unbox it properly. Is there any essential upgrades these need?

Im looking at the the Dusty motors chassis covers Thanks You'll be very happy with it! I love mine. First thing to do before run it is to check the motor pinion. Mine wasn't quite in line with the spur and also on the first outing the grub screw worked loose. Re-align the gears, add good (blue) threadlock to the grub screw and make sure its nipped up well. Its an amazing thing to drive with the power slides etc. Oh also fit the tyres suitable to what surface you are driving on, I forgot to take the tarmac tyres with me on an outing and pretty much ruined the off road ones after 2 lipos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
