Would you rather buy the CEN RC-car or the HPI WR8? Cause I do own the HPI WR8 WRX and am happy as I could be, but the RB M-Sport 1/8 Rally Car from CEN is a car I really like and probably will buy in the future (for my sons 🥴) 😉 All the best from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋

@@5ShotProductions WR8 is a bit more robust and heavier, and probably the better overall basher. The CEN is still a good car and it's so beautiful, but it's a notch below the WR8. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Thx Brett, I really appreciate your fast response 🙏 The funny thing, I own my WR8 Impreza for only 4 weeks, but already burnt 3 tire sets with the car 🥴 It‘s a Biest and I have so much fun with it 😍 And by the way, one of your videos about the WR8 Impreza was the reason for buying that thing cause 4 weeks ago I had bought my younger son a cheap RC Drift Car, so that he could find out if he would like it… Me after driving a few minutes with that thing -> „I need a new toy“ 🫣 So I started typing silly questions into Google, and then started watching a few videos about RC cars… Fast forward: I see quite a few videos about that HPI WR8 Subaru and almost every KZbinr out there had a blast with it. 4 weeks later and a few Euros less in my pocket I don’t regret the buy at all. I had RC cars when I was younger, the then new Tamiya Blackfoot and the Tamiya Super Saber 😍 But as you might guess, my RC driving “career“ was ages ago 😂 Okay, way too much info for you, I‘m sorry about that 🫣🥴 Thx for the always great videos and all the best, Philipp

When I saw 'CEN', I almost deleted the notification and carried on but glad I watched! I figured it was just another rally car but that body caught my attention and I was impressed with the specs. It's a really nice car, big and handles extremely well. Definitely need to upgrade the drive shafts and address the fit of the body. Plenty of RTRs suffer from QC issues, though (you should go over any RTR before running) so, not a big deal to me. Looks great out there and that body, freakin' gorgeous (and I drive a Subie)! Thanks for the review! 👍

CEN car is set up better for tarmac stages even tho it doesn't have sway bars. However I remember that HPI had some optional firm springs and once installed on the WR8 with heavier oil, it was really good.

The stock WR8 will traction roll like crazy on tarmac. I’ve put in heavier oil and springs to see if it helps. Haven’t actually driven it yet though.

Yeah, these are likely preproduction models & hopefully aren't representative of the QC standards on the production version. I've seen this one & Phil's one over at Tomley RC had missing screws, I'm going to watch RC Drivers video when I get a moment to see what his is like. 😉 😉 Preproduction & manufacturer demonstration models can be pretty cool if you can get your hands on them... There's an Ebay shop in the UK that CML Distribution uses to sell theirs once they've finished with them, they import Associated/FTX/Fastrax/CEN/Hobao & a few others I can't remember atm, I once snagged myself an FTX Outlaw with a red rollcage & unpainted body... I've never seen another like it, the cages only came in black or blue. Stay safe out there mate & best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ♥ 📻 🎮 🔋 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚔 🚕 🚖 🚗 🚘 🚙 🚚 🚛 🚜 🏎️ 🏍️ 🚤 🛥️ ✈️ 🛩️ 🚁.

I think if we’re spending close to $500 on an rc car then there shouldn’t be any screws missing and things should be tight. You kinda just shrugged it off. Every review I’ve seen on this today the car was missing screws. If they’re charging almost $500 for a car they should be having someone check them over so screws aren’t missing and loose everywhere.
