Description

The HPI Racing WR8 FLUX Subaru Impreza is a 1/8 scale rally car that's ready to conquer any terrain. This high-performance machine is a replica of the iconic 2001 WRC Subaru Impreza, driven to victory in the Driver's Championship 20 years ago. The officially licensed and faithfully recreated body captures the spirit of this rally legend, with its distinctive blue and yellow livery.

Underneath the stunning exterior, the WR8 FLUX chassis is built for durability and performance. Based on the HPI Bullet RC monster truck, it can withstand the rigours of off-road driving. The powerful 4000KV brushless motor and waterproof 3S-capable speed controller deliver exhilarating speed and acceleration. The tough metal gear differentials and full ball bearing-supported 4WD shaft drivetrain ensure smooth and reliable power delivery. WR8 rally-style suspension geometry, custom-designed shock towers and dampers, and extra-thick sway bars provide exceptional handling and control.

The HPI Racing WR8 FLUX is packed with features that enhance its off-road capabilities, including high ground clearance, a skid plate, a foam front bumper, and mud deflectors. Whether you're racing on rally-style courses, tackling multi-surface tracks, or simply exploring the great outdoors, the WR8 FLUX is ready for adventure. This RTR (Ready-To-Run) car comes fully assembled and ready for action – just add your choice of 2S or 3S LiPo battery and charger.

HPI are back with another re-run of this classic. I missed out last time and now have bought two of these from Hobbies Direct. The car is absolutely flawless, massive amounts of power for a scale RC. It behaves like the real thing, Meant for those who are serious about driving and not jumping ramps, This beast will not disappoint whatsoever. This animal needs to be driven hard and fast across tarmac, mud, clay or any surface you throw at it. A must have in any RC Drivers garage for sure. I rarely rate an RC 5 stars but this is an exceptional true to scale weapon. Thanks Hobbies Direct, Awesome service.
