|  RPMJ's Ken Block WR8
Well after waiting for months I finally received my WR8. The first thing I did was to switch to my 4pl radio. It is considerably smaller than my DRX. I drove it today at the warehouse and on the tarmac parking lot. (The true test will be in the dirt) This thing is fast and very stable. The graphics are awesome... One flaw I noticed was the stock servo is very slow. I will switch it to a Savox 1258tg. I also need to open up the diffs and add oil. Turtle shot show photos and will post them soon. Thanks Turtle. |

does it sit that high from the box? Front wheel gap looks large...if you could, could you have Turtle take some comparison pics for size? Sold my Ken Block Traxxas, and want another one.

I shot some comparision photos between this car and the Kyosho DRX a little while ago, they are in the HOONIGAN DRX thread. Also Basic mods was with us today and I believe he got some photos of the fleet of cars we had out today. | |

This car, being more of a Gymkhana 'on road' rally car, how do you think it's bashability compares to that of say, the DRX? Would the available ground clearance allow it to bash off road as effectively? | |

Nice looking car. I was checking out a 15 minute Youtube unboxing of the WR8. It looks like it has some features the DRX does not have and doesn't have some of the DRX features. The tires look really soft. |

I really like the Ken Block body and the DC wheels. Your car looks awsome RPMJ . However after looking at the the beautiful array of rally cars. It's clear that the DRX and WR8 are classified incorrectly. XV-01, WR8, DRX. Small, medium, large.
