About the WR8 Flux Rally Car
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.
Iconic Rally Style
The HPI Richard Burns 2001 WRC Subaru Impreza 1/8 RTR Brushless Rally Car captures the legendary look of a world championship-winning icon with its officially licensed 2001 WRC Subaru Impreza body, complete in the unmistakable blue and yellow livery. Mounted on high-spec bronze rally wheels wrapped in soft compound real rubber tires, this replica doesn’t just look the part—it performs like a true rally beast. The aggressive tread delivers grip on tarmac, dirt, or dusty pavement, while the self-cleaning pattern ensures consistent traction and control across all 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. The suspension geometry is optimized for rally-style driving, offering excellent control and stability even on rough terrain.
