HPI Racing released the WR8 Nitro 1:8 scale rally car some time ago, however, today they have released the WR8 Flux Pro electric 1:8 rally car. This bad boy features all of the scaled down styling and performance of the nitro version, but provides a silent but deadly approach to R/C rally with mind boggling speeds!
HPI Racing Press Release:
Partnering the #106950 nitro-powered WR8 3.0 WRC replica is the HPI WR8 Flux, an all-out assault on rally tarmac stages and time trials! The WR8 Flux has all of the tough drivetrain components of the nitro version, however it's powered by a 4000Kv Flux Vektor motor and your choice of 2S or 3S LiPo battery. It's ready to fly over jumps and blast down the street right out of the box!
Starting with drivetrain from the Bullet Flux-powered truck, our designers had the perfect starting point to make an all-new electric rally car, and with improvements to the suspension and wheelbase, the WR8 Flux chassis was born! The WR8 Flux keeps the tough bevel gear differentials, 4WD shaft drivetrain and fully ball bearing-supported drivetrain of the Bullet Flux truck, but adds new suspension geometry, thick sway bars, plus scale WRC-style tarmac tyres and wheels to make it a true rally contender!
