HPI WR8 NITRO BREAKING THE ENGINE IN AND RUNNING IT

Breaking the new HPI WR8 Subaru in. The G3.0 HO engine is fantastic has lots of power and idles so smoothly. I couldn’t recommend getting a WR8 enough.

[@brokenspokesxl1164]

That's a nice rc, I bought the wr8 flux when it first came out and love it. The secret to good rc rally is finding the right type of surface to race on. 👍

I was into nitro cars like 20 years ago, back then if you didn't buy an OS you had nothing but problems, it looks like nowadays most brands are pretty decent

[@kahmed7328]

Great video! Glad to see you use it properly. I couldn’t get myself to drive it in the mud.👍👍

[@sammygonzalez7627]

Your a bigger man then I am, I felt for the car running in the mud

[@zachattack2016]

Awesome man! I break in my new engines, i do 5 break in tanks. (preheat engine every start and let cool all the way at bottom dead center after every tank) 1st tank, idle rich, 2nd quarter throttle and stop repeatedly, 3rd half throttle stop then go, 4th slowly go full throttle for a sec and then brake, 5th tank more full throttle. all my engines had atleast 3 quarts, and have high pinch still and run well

Great video Dan

[@adamj3606]

Look forward to the next video on this car. Thinking about getting this. Nice video

[@dgrc]

Definitely get one you won’t regret it. I’ll have a speed gps for the next video 👍🏻

[@chrisprud7688]

Brilliant video especially the second part in the mud proper rally.

[@dgrc]

I wanted to get more footage in the mud but because it was so wet the air filter was blocked in a couple of minutes. 🤣

[@jhp4012]

That Subie in the mud was so sickkkk

[@velocity0fbeast]

Liked and subscribed 👊🇬🇧 when I have spare dough I'm getting this !!! Haven't owned a nitro since my teen years! (29now) lol

[@a.boss.__09]

Thanks man I really wanna buy it now hell yeah

[@dgrc]

100% you will not be disappointed. So fast aswell 😁

[@raphaelfurst396]

Super cool i have hpi trugy 4.6 🇨🇭 in swiss

[@rcnitroflux2361]

Love it bro I'm gonna get one bro keep up great video s bro

[@dgrc]

Cheers man 👍🏻

[@David-069]

Whats happening. Great vid man that Subaru Impreza isn’t hanging around them G3.0 engines are quick it could do with a two speed. my fav is the 99 Subaru Impreza i have a kyosho fw03 with the 99 Subaru Impreza Richard Burns body shell and i am just about to build it up with some mods that i have i definitely won’t be Rallying it.👍

[@dgrc]

Yeah a lot faster then I thought. It’s a shame they don’t have a 2 speed but might be a bit to fast for a light off-road car

[@royarsey5429]

it's beautiful lots of power...it would be nicer if they made this 2-speed

[@dgrc]

Yeah I was thinking would of been cool with a two speed. But wouldn’t be as good for off-road if it did have the two speed

[@xXYannuschXx]

@@dgrc Cant be good getting dust stuck inside the 2 speed mechanism.

[@All-rc804]

Nice rc. Will there be a follow up vid later? I baught the hpi bullet mt but sadly having running issues with it after a few months.

[@dgrc]

yes the WR8 will definitely be in more future videos

[@nerprun]

oh now i remember, this is the guilty video of the purchase of my WR8

[@thelag1200]

Hi, How are the stock carb settings? Is it just fine if you turn the throttle trim up or down?

[@dgrc]

Hello, it holds the tune really well I haven’t once had to adjust it. I did try adjusting to get a little more top end but didn’t effect it at all to be honest

[@a.boss.__09]

Can you talk about how it handles and how the steering is ???

[@dgrc]

On tarmac it handles amazing as you can see when I try to do a doughnut it has so much grip and flips it on its side. The sway bars really help it with cornering.

[@elGANSOsanchez]

Help! i broke-in the engine on mine a few days ago. haven’t touched a thing since then but i can’t get it to start today. i’ve already checked all the basic troubleshooting

[@dgrc]

Check the glow plug to see if it still works and make sure you have fuel going in the carb. Check to see if you have accidentally touched the throttle trim on your controller. Maybe use that to adjust to help start, hope this helped

[@elGANSOsanchez]

@@dgrc thank you

[@VersionOneUK]

Come on! 👊👊

[@dgrc]

🤪

[@VersionOneUK]

@@dgrc things RAPID mush

[@dgrc]

@@VersionOneUK yeah man need to a get speed gps monitor. But she wasn’t hanging around

[@a.boss.__09]

But good video

[@ll.7927]

What’s the top speed

[@dgrc]

I have just brought a speed gps meter so it will be in a future video mate. It was quicker then I thought though 👍🏻

[@christophermichael.w.7577]

I really like nitro cars .The electric is just not the same to me.

[@dgrc]

Nothing beats the sound of a nitro engine 😁

[@dolobrolic6066]

They should have did something different with this “NEW” wr8........update something 🤔

[@BASSstarlet]

Are you sure its the proper way to breaking the engine?

[@dgrc]

In the manual says 2 tanks at ideal. Then 2 tanks at half throttle in a circle. After the 4th you can then lean the engine out.

[@a.boss.__09]

They brake in with 10 tanks of Nitro come on man

[@Nathan-qt2zi]

Not what the instructions say

[@a.boss.__09]

@@Nathan-qt2zi well you can fuck up ur car
