Don’t be a stranger Rich, we need more videos from you!

[@shaunescarlett2382]

I’m also lovin this HPi WR8 Scooby, seriously now considering buying another as i have new genuine Ken block Fiesta shells & wheels to match 🚙 😍💯

[@robsrcinsanity1220]

HPI has a hit on their hands for sure with this one! 👍🏻🍻

[@loganadkinsakacowardclownl6000]

They did 10 years ago…. And they dropped the ball on it. Hopefully this time they take notice and keep making parts and bodies this time.

[@loganadkinsakacowardclownl6000]

Had mine on 7200mah 3S and it was uncontrollably ridiculously awesome lol. Needless to say it’s gonna stay on 2S.

[@MauzyrockRC]

Oh I love it! Something to aspire to. The price point is a little rich. the allure is strong… Cheers!

[@mikeocon986]

It's a little hooligan for sure! I can't believe it took some of those hits and kept on going!

[@djquiko]

Man, brings me back to ‘04 when I could build and test out the Tamiya version of this model for a Dutch RC magazines. Car was given back to the magazine 🙁 but I got to keep the pictures and videos😁 Great Hooning!

[@swololikesolo1625]

That's so awesome dude! Thanks for this comment, cool to hear.

[@loganadkinsakacowardclownl6000]

04… was that a TB02?

[@richardpichan6916]

Man that looks really nice!! I'm glad I stumbled across this video, great work!!

[@Mc-Derpulous]

I traction rolled mine outta the box, run 1 lol.. had to hit the ebay for a nee a arm and upper link. Remove all the shock spacers and just run the 4 medium ones in the package, it drops the CoG and dramatically changes handling for the better.

[@ret737]

Oh man, Richie, you lucked out! Gotta get me one of these now. Add in a Dumbo TX with gyro and I'm golden. Thanks for the videos always!

[@rcjono]

Love it! Im getting one now!

[@cripticcustomrc2178]

Time for a big motor rich lol 🤣 Great vid 👊💯

[@74midwestreviews58]

Nice

[@phuque2ho]

nice lil fireblade chatherham?

[@camrowdrone6497]

Much better than Tamiya version 👊🏻👍🏻

[@Powershotknecht]

cool

[@mjsrcs3725]

Ya these cars are awesome I have ken block car did you know he helped design it that's way it handles the way it doze there bonkers on 3s for sure but awesome though 🤘😎👍

[@Alienvisitor007]

Try the ken block tyres they last for ages. They are a harder compound then the rally tyres but they dont wear out mine have lasted for ages now and still going strong

[@salmenda]

Any idea how they compare size wise with the Traxxas ford fiesta?

[@mikeocon986]

Despite being listed as 1/8th scale, the WR8 is actually a little smaller than the Fiesta (1/10th scale). WR8 Length: 485mm (19") Width: 227mm (8.9") Fiesta Length: 535 mm (21") Width: 281 mm (11")

[@TheHudsonValleyWanderer]

Awesome car but the price seems a bit high. Can anyone explain why?

[@rcpete7055]

You keep repeating yourself Richie? 😀I thought you would catch that on the edit.. You mentioned the 17tooth pinion and about the recommendation of 19t for 60mph quite a few times 🤣

[@andrewsouthern3517]

I want a wr8 but need to fix my other cars first 🤣

[@mjsrcs3725]

Mad how you say a bout Richard Burns I'm a big fan of the wrc and loved colin mcrae love all drives but fact Burns has won more rallys than mcrae but doesn't have the same respect as him it's mad but I think it was just the way colin was behind the wheel witch I think one all the fans he still has to day rip Burns and mcrae 🙏🙏🙏

[@sambagogo777]

Cool RC car but not as cool as that Lotus Seven variant in the car park!

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Agreed! And it's fantastic to drive (My Caterham 7 that is!) wheen it's not raining!

[@sambagogo777]

@@DriftomaniacsRC I keep toying with the idea of getting a 420R as my daily driver but then whenever I'm driving in the rain I realise it's probably not a smart move, lol.

[@superdriver777]

Man, I really want this car but 1.) I know I'd break it...I like to take jumps. Not "to the moon", just the ones at my local 1/8th-scale offroad tracks and 2.) Parts support...HPI is running on fumes, unfortunately

[@mjsrcs3725]

You will have no tyres left after that bud the should of called this car the tyre shredder 🤣🤣🤣

[@davidmolyneux7284]

What would you have the most this rc car or the hpi maverick flux rally car
