Love hpi products wish more shops would have them

[@kaosr.c]

I had this in the electric version and it was a blast !

[@blameusa7082]

So good I bought 2 of them! one for touring one for bashing! never had anytyhing actualy brake... except when i crash it. and usualy all it is , is a hinge pin, plastic arm £4 or diff back plate costing £3 EPIC

[@babupranav]

I got this a month or so back. Just finished break in love how it handles! I think we have really gotten used to heavy electric vehicles with the batteries and motors but the light nimble handling of the nitro rally is awesome! Seems like you got the one with the older radio the latest batch should have the newer style radio.

[@RazorRC]

didn't know about that, thanks for the info

[@ReadySetRC]

This has to be my favorite of the HPI line up. Glad to see you went nitro for this. Can't wait to see the running vids.

[@RazorRC]

great little car, tons of fun

[@CplVeers]

I love my wr8 nitro. I run it on my backyard dirt oval. Makes me want to get a nitro slash and convert it into a street stock dirt oval car

[@tracyttr]

Great video as always.

[@RazorRC]

thanks!

[@mannyrcon]

Great video man! How long did it take to burn one tank while idle?

[@blameusa7082]

about 15-20mins

[@hawkeyeblackfeet1667]

I'm just getting into the rc hobby I just bought a redcat racing piranha and I'm bout to go brushless..but I'm looking for a good website to purchase rc at a fare price

[@electricnitrorc]

Love this car ❤. Hope you have a nice spot to drive it on. Only wish it wasn't so expensive 😢

[@RazorRC]

it is a bit high for what you get, $400 would be a lot more fair IMO.

[@FreeMan-JPLK]

Great rc 🔥

[@rajgill7576]

Speaking of a pain to start my savage is literally out of commission because I broke the pull cord. Pulled it apart and converted to shaft start but haven't put it back together again been years lol. Maybe this summer

[@Top-Jimmy]

Install a push button start, Much nicer

[@hondofourfivetwo9347]

It’s nice to see hopefully HPI makes a full comeback. This is one of those confusing scales it’s kinda big for 1/10 but it’s not exactly 1/8 either it competes (in size anyway) with the Traxxas 4WD SC based rally vs the sedan sized cars Tamiya and a few others produce then they call it a WR8 so confusing 🤷‍♂️🤣

[@eddieb7001]

Mine just showed up today. I’m super excited. It’s rainy here so I gotta wait a few days.

[@Corhndog]

Yasss!

[@dstjamesrc6395]

This is my first nitro, it’s a learning experience for sure and I’m still not sure I’m tuning it right

[@RazorRC]

check out jq racing's video on nitro tuning, it helped me a ton.

[@dstjamesrc6395]

@@RazorRC will do thanks for the tip!

[@Hjerte_Verke]

Nitro, wow!

[@hazriazeri3631]

💯🙂👍👍👍

[@stepnyvlk9695]

I would go for a 1/10 nitro buggy imediately like a xray or losi😂

[@samsonight2721]

Ur going to wanna thinking the shit out of diff oils if u want the power to the ground

[@VUO4E]

Don't you think the "8" in WR8 stands for 8th scale ? It would only have taken you 1 minute of reading to get the facts straight... Even if it's actually 1/9th...

[@RazorRC]

They could’ve called it a WR142 but that doesn’t make it a 142 scale.

[@jaciel85]

Those are 1/8th

[@Corhndog]

No they’re not.

[@Ascension.z]

smokescreen?

[@Harvz78]

1 speed?👎🏼
