HPI WR8 Nitro Rally - Somebody said NITRO IS DEAD? - Review & Everything you need to know!

[@lawrencewinter]

The way the body pitches and rolls when you change speed or direction is so sick. Such a sick car from HPi. A 2 speed would have been awesome but not a good rally option, so the 1-speed all you need makes sense. Nice work hybrid

[@xaviersrcadventures2955]

What a great WR8 Nitro rally! Thanks for helping make Nitro great again Melissa!!

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! thanks for checking out this video!! The nitroGang is happy to have you here!!!

[@hybrid32494]

NItro Is never dead, can you believe somebody said it is, LOL. NOT!!!!!

[@michaelinzitari]

Nitro can’t die because earth will always have a healthy supply of males between 35-55 who don’t like extreme sports or ball sports or sports bars 😂

[@michaelinzitari]

You beat that scooter! And you beat that mountain bike! You are starting to have a bit of a track record. Winning all your races! You are on a HPI winning streak with the WR8!

[@johngoodwin4353]

Make HPI Great Again!! 💯

[@hybrid32494]

YEs bro! We trying out here!! you're 100% right..

[@s.o.sSavage]

Love the video love the hpi thanks for all your work D we nitro fans really appreciate you

[@hybrid32494]

Thank you my dude! Can you believe somebody said NITRO is DEAD

[@pitbullaircooled6075]

that hpi wr8 is awesome.. great video hybrid and melissa

[@hybrid32494]

thank you my dude! I'll be doing a SPEED series on this WR8, it really was nowhere close to it's limits in this video, in fact I have not even re-tuned the engine since I ran it over a year ago, that's got good this G3.0 engine is.

[@benjaminmartinez7982]

I placed my order yesterday on this Rc

[@hybrid32494]

Sounds like you and will be having a WR8 Rally Run series!! I'm ready!!

[@jayp9299]

I bought one when they came out and it has been so reliable and great. I second the recommendation

[@jakedeutscher]

love the enthusiasm. I just got the FLUX model, fairly new to the hobby but i intend to pick up the nitro sooner than later!

[@tonysands2837]

Loved watching it go over the grass bro awesome 👏 work

[@hybrid32494]

thanks bro! I should have raised the suspension a bit for the grass run, but it didn't get stuck. Needs a tad more shock preload for the grass to be safe I'd say though. NitroGang!!

[@eddieb7001]

I finally got my RW8 Nitro!! Its so damn fun!! I love the car!! SOLID!!! Thanks for the heads up on the "Failsafe" check.. NITRO BABY!!

[@TestECull]

just pulled the trigger on one of these myself. Be fun to run when I can't fly heh. Was burnin' some nitro just yesterday, too, albiet in a plane. Got some footage uploaded on my channel!

[@hybrid32494]

Hey bro! I'm super happy to hear you say that! This is worth the money, it's not the fastest, but it's certainly a cool HPI. I think with some taller gears it would be even more Sickening!

[@TestECull]

@@hybrid32494 Itt'l be fun as hell to hoon about on the rough parking lot at work!

[@gtotimmy]

Great videos as always, my dude!! Keep it up.! I think Tmax Tony needs to make a comeback!

[@rcnitroflux2361]

I got hot bodies lighting that's basically a bullet bud great chassis g3.0 great nitro motor good on fuel as well another sickening video bro

[@eddieb7001]

Just bought one. A main was out but i managed to find one on Ebay. Should be here in a few days!! Nitro Baby!! Great Vid!!

[@hybrid32494]

Hey man, I’m super happy to hear that you have one of these awesome Nitro models on the way. Yes they have been sold out at aMain for quite some time now and I hope they are back in stock soon.

[@hybrid32494]

A little advice for you, bro, make sure to check the failsafe setting. So far every single HPI I have ever gotten the failsafe was not set or it was sent to the incorrect position.

[@eddieb7001]

@@hybrid32494 will do and thanks for the tip!!

[@brittballard4030]

Hey buddy I got a question I bought a used nitro traxxas slash only ran like twice and every time you try to give it throttle it bogs and cuts off

[@dstjamesrc6395]

True about leaning it out, I’m not very well versed in nitro yet but my wr8 did 42 mph

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro!! Yes, with a proper leaner tune these can get pretty fast for this scale of RC. I wonder what it'll run like with a taller clutch bell to keep it in the mid-range more.

[@derekgardin1512]

Nitro isn't dead. I can't stand electric and charging batteries. Also paying 200$ for a battery is ridiculous

[@joshherrman3201]

I just picked up my first nitro last week. Scored a lst with the 454 in it.

[@islandrc-duke1972]

awesome nitro rc,great review and run

[@hybrid32494]

thank you dude! I'll be doing a follow up on this with some speed runs, I legit have not re-tuned this thing since I got it. We need to hit some top speeds you know.

[@islandrc-duke1972]

@@hybrid32494 awesome,bring on the cool speed runs

[@jjones1850]

Just ran mine today!

[@tonysands2837]

Awesome 👏 Subaru bro I have the 1/10 gv 2000 model sickening!!!

[@hybrid32494]

hey my fellow Nitro Brother! thanks! Yes, you cannot beat the classic SUBARU body, even on other brands they looks great. Car just has the right proportions I'd say! NitroGang!.

[@nomusicrc]

The editing on this is great how long did it take you

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude! My bad about not responding to your other comment quickly, I did read them though. So this took me about 3-4 hours to edit the parts I wanted and load the video. I simplified my process, normally I would edit over 2-3 days and then review my own vids (quality Check). The key is to make quick decisions on what to keep or what to edit out, often takes time to think about this.

[@nomusicrc]

@@hybrid32494 so... still waiting for a reply to my other comments lol

[@bowi73]

i love the wr8 , i only here good things about it . its on my want to have list

[@blameusa7082]

Took mine out for a few hours today also 😊 sickening

[@dstjamesrc6395]

The body on mine is looking a bit rough 😢

[@blaqkyellow]

Anyone know how to make this car a 2 speed nitro? 🔥

[@hybrid32494]

Hey buddy, thanks for checking out this video. To answer your question there is no two speed model. You can buy to make this a functional two speed car. Some people adapt the transmission from the Nitro RS4-3 but it will not be very easy, and you will lose The center differential.

[@zosozoso2]

Sick car!!

[@zchamberlain710]

“Articulation baby!” 😂

[@paulspomer16]

Nitro isn’t dead

[@robotic502]

I usef to hsve one ,very cool

[@RCFAMBO]

Nice

[@hybrid32494]

Thank you my dude!!! Nitros will never die, even if people tell me they are..

[@Sherik-773]

Good car good vidio🎉

[@markgilson2809]

U need .a T.30. I HAVE . .A SPARE.?

[@woodyuk1983]

Can’t see why you would pick this over the electric, the nitro looks slow af, and the way it pulled away , just boring, looks great just performed poorly

[@donniemarks94]

Your forgot about the new 1/5 Kraton and outcast exb rtr’s but that’s ok because this hpi Subaru is really sick, love that suspension and scale looks

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! Thanks for checking out this video. Good point on the newer ARRMA models, but I really don't consider those new because they are just upgraded Versions of the older models, you know. I'd say the 1/8 arrma Mojave is the only real new model, because it's not really a V2, it's a new chassis fully.
