wr8 ..so much fun
 

my friends and I all have the wr8 flux .. and they are by far my fav and best basher {as far as putting a smile on your face} havnt broke anything over 5$ {minus bodies lol}. these are stupid fast and im working on making is a little more fun.

the wr8 had a center gear diff .. that's great and very strong ..and is there to {try} to keep the car from flipping on asphalt .. but on half dry{like after a rain} the car is the most fun on road because it drifts and screams around corners .. but if you get to much angle that center diff just makes it fall on its face ..so im going to be working on putting a center diff out of a hpi bullet flux{I also have and love and is built very close } and turn it into a slipper center ..also gain the plastic gears from the bullit that are much quieter but still very strong .. so yeah this will be my build thread and trial and error section .. lol

I agree. Out of the three surface vehicles I have my WR8 is a friggin' blast, especially on 3s. I can't say the same about breakage but nothing I'm not surprised about.

My only complaint is the choice of bodies for it or lack thereof.

Re: wr8 ..so much fun
 

yeah lack of bodies sucks. That's one of the things holding me back from a 1/8 rally car.

Love my WR8, it's a tank

Amainhobbies stocks the fiesta body for it for about 35 bucks which is pretty cheap, bought two of them. At Least it's a way to be different from the RTR and a hell of a lot cheaper than the kyosho bodies for the drx

y did you swap motors

There's also a corolla hatch body that came on the TGX's

Re: wr8 ..so much fun
 

It was a new roller, didn't come with the hpi electronics. Heard they are junk anyways

Re: wr8 ..so much fun
 

I'd love to find a corolla wrc body for my xv01. I'd take Even the less detailed hpi version

Re: wr8 ..so much fun
 

I have had zero problems with mine , neither have my two buds I run with .. water,mud, no real cleaning or maintenance ..works perfect .. not to make you swap just to let anyone that may find this post that I don't think that's the case anymore ..been almost a year of bashing on all three

Re: wr8 ..so much fun
 

You're the only ones....

Re: wr8 ..so much fun
 

weird ..none the less .. amazing rc's and I cant wait to be able to post pics ..so I can post my spatter red white and blue wr8 body I painted for my buddy

Re: wr8 ..so much fun
 

Re: wr8 ..so much fun
 

No problems here either...

Re: wr8 ..so much fun
 

Yes, very fun. Probably the best thing to come from HPI in a long time. I'm happy I finally dropped the cash and happy I built my own.

Re: wr8 ..so much fun
 

^ I agree ..love the Baja , firestorm flux , and even the newest blitz .. but the wr8 has to be there big win rc for me ..

Corolla body pics: http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/10/8a5e8apu.jpg it's on a super nitro rally, same dimensions as a wr8 http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/10/javu7y7e.jpg
Can't afford a wr8 so it's predecessor will have to do

Re: wr8 ..so much fun
 

Where did you get that body? Me want!!!

Re: wr8 ..so much fun
 

Yup... I have picked up both the WRX and Lancer bodies for my WR8 along with the MCI sticker sheets. Honestly the sticker sheets are not the best quality reproductions but they will do the trick.

Here is a gallery of the sheets I got close up: MCIRacing SNR Stickers - Imgur

This is my WR8 set up with the SNR WRX body... ready for some off roading:
