Super
Scale World Rally Championship Excitement with Flux Power!
Partnering the #106950 nitro-powered WR8 3.0 WRC replica is
the HPI WR8 Flux, an all-out assault on rally tarmac stages and
time trials! The WR8 Flux has all of the tough drivetrain
components of the nitro version, however it's powered by a 4000Kv
Flux Vektor motor and your choice of 2S or 3S LiPo battery. It's
ready to fly over jumps and blast down the street right out of the
box! Starting with drivetrain from the Bullet Flux-powered truck,
our designers had the perfect starting point to make an all-new
electric rally car, and with improvements to the suspension and
wheelbase, the WR8 Flux chassis was born! The WR8 Flux keeps the
tough bevel gear differentials, 4WD shaft drivetrain and fully ball
bearing-supported drivetrain of the Bullet Flux truck, but adds new
suspension geometry, thick sway bars, plus scale WRC-style tarmac
tyres and wheels to make it a true rally contender!
Authentic WRC
Scale Looks and Performance
To make it a complete scale package, our
bodyshell designers got to work replicating the 2011 Ford Fiesta RS
WRC used by the Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team, the offical Ford
works rally team. This car saw action all around the world, from
New Zealand to Norway, Great Britain to Germany! The shape and
decals of this championship contender are absolutely spot-on, and
when you add the officially licensed Abu Dhabi/Castrol livery,
scale tarmac tyres and OZ wheels, it's impossible to distinguish it
from the real thing!

With the capacity to handle 2S and 3S LiPo
power, the Flux VAPOR Pro electronic speed control is able to
handle the latest, most powerful batteries you can fit in the WR8
Flux. The VAPOR Pro features an integrated cooling fan to keep it
cool in warm conditions, reverse so you can back out of jams with
ease, and for maximum adjustability it's fully programmable with
our optional #100573 USB Programming
Kit.
The Flux VEKTOR 4000 motor delivers massive
power - plenty of juice for instant acceleration and enough power
to pull out of just about any sideways drift. Option pinion gears
are available to fine-tune the speed and torque delivery! The
brushless design assures maximum performance with nearly no
maintenance required.
The 3mm aluminium chassis is the foundation
of a tough and durable racing machine, and features composite
braces front and rear, cool silver anodizing and countersunk screws
on the bottom for zero interference going over obstacles. The
moulded dirt guards keep the worst mud and dirt from getting into
the chassis and protect the chassis as well.
A rally car has to cope with a range of
conditions and road types that most cars or SUVs will never see -
this is why the ride height is adjustable for off-road and on-road
conditions using simple clips on the dampers.
Choose the amount of power you put through
the WR8 Flux! The Flux Vapor Pro speed controller is able to handle
2S or 3S power, and the adjustable battery tray fits batteries of
different sizes, as well as allowing you to make adjustments to the
weight distribution!
The WR8 Flux is equipped with the shaft
drivetrain straight out of the Bullet nitro and Flux truck. Three
oil-filled gear diffs with bevel gears, a full-time 4WD drivetrain
supported by rubber-sealed ball bearings, high-strength steel
driveshafts and axles and much more!
The extra-strong & waterproof SF-10W servo
is ideal for bashers and racers looking for a strong and durable
servo for absolutely any kind of condition, and it's the perfect
fit to handle the steering and throttle/brake duties in the WR8
Rally. The servos are mounted to an orange-anodized aluminium plate
for extra durability and control.
Splashproof receiver box fits the 2.4Ghz
receiver plus the aerial mount.
The front bumper protects the front end of
the chassis and suspension, and prevents the body from taking too
much damage over jumps. A raised skid plate made from tough plastic
allows the car to slide over objects in the road, and the high
density foam bumper is sandwiched between a high angle skid plate
and an upper bumper brace that doubles as a front body mount.
The suspension of the WR8 is entirely new,
with durable lower arms to fit the scale size of the Ford Fiesta RS
WRC body, solid upper links for simple adjustment and shocks that
are the perfect length for off-road use.
These tires are true-to-scale Michelin 'N'
style tarmac rally tyres, replicating the semi-slick patterns used
by full-size rally teams! Rally tyres must work in a wide range of
conditions, and this scale version works great on all types of hard
paved surfaces. Of course, you can also fit our replica #107881 OZ gravel wheels and #107870 Michelin Latitude Cross S1 gravel
tyres from the WR8 3.0 Nitro!
Thick front and rear sway bars are fitted
for precise handling on all kinds of surfaces.
Keeping mud and dirt off the shocks is a key
in preventing excessive maintenance time to rebuild the shocks, and
the shock guards fitted on the rear suspension arms do a fantastic
job in keeping dirt, mud and more off the rear shocks!
Nothing can beat scale realism when you're
talking about model cars, and we're proud to feature the official
vehicle and livery design of the Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team on
the WR8 Rally! Every feature of the real car is replicated in
perfect scale miniature!
All of the latest HPI kits are now fitted
with the comfortable and feature-packed HPI TF-40 2.4GHz
radio system for supreme control and confidence! The
latest digital 2.4GHz radio technology allows you to confidently
drive your HPI kit with other drivers without worrying about things
like frequencies or radio conflicts. The radio features a
pistol-grip design with drop-down steering wheel, 3 channel
functionality, easy carry handle, fold-down aerial, end point
adjustments, servo reversing and steering dual rate. It's also
extremely lightweight due to it requiring only four AA batteries.
This is a fully-featured, lightweight, 3-channel radio with
advanced ergonomic features and total adjustability. Set the radio
up for your car with custom features like servo reversing, centre
trim, end point adjustments, dual rate and more. Only 4 AA
batteries are required to power the TF-40, so it's light in your
hands, and the drop-down steering wheel makes it comfortable to
hold. With the adjustable, built-in failsafe feature, you will even
be protected just in case the radio batteries run out of power or
become disconnected. TF-40 Radio Features Summary
