High-Performance & Feature Rich Electric Rally Car

The WR8 Flux 1996 Ford Escort RS Cosworth 1/8 RTR Brushless Rally Car by HPI is an exciting addition to the WR8 family, bringing the legendary Group A rally car to life.

Built on the proven WR8 Flux chassis, this rally beast is designed to tackle a variety of terrains with ease.

Powerful Electronics

At the heart of the WR8 Flux is a high-performance FLX10-3660-3700kV brushless motor, delivering impressive acceleration and speed. Paired with the FLX-10 3S802 Flux Electronic Speed Controller, this system supports 2S and 3S LiPo power, ensuring incredible power delivery. A water resistant receiver box and metal gear differentials add durability, while the fully ball-bearing-supported 4WD shaft drivetrain maximizes efficiency. With programmable settings and a built-in cooling fan, the electronic system is built for high-performance rally action.

Durable Body & Stylish Wheels

The officially licensed Ford Escort RS Cosworth body is crafted from high-strength polycarbonate, capturing the spirit of the original rally car. Designed with a 300-millimeter wheelbase, the molded and hand-finished bodyshell enhances scale realism. The WR8 Flux is equipped with 2.2-inch authentic rally wheels made from high-impact nylon, providing a lightweight yet durable construction. These wheels are wrapped in HPI WR8 Tarmac Tires, which feature a realistic tread pattern for maximum grip on various surfaces.

Rally-Tuned Suspension

The WR8 Flux features a fully adjustable suspension system, just like a real rally car. With double wishbone suspension, coil-over oil-filled shock absorbers, and thick sway bars, this setup ensures superior handling on dirt and tarmac. Thick suspension arms and rubber-sealed ball bearings provide added durability and smooth performance.
