The 4WD 1:8 scale RC platform is the base of HPI's new WR8 Flux with brushless motor technology which sees the little beast going as fast as 100km/h. 

The kit includes the scale replica Ken Block Fiesta body, replica tarmac gymkhana tyres and replica fifteen52 Tarmac wheels.

Driving the car is a 4000Kv HPI Flux vektor motor, 2S/3S LiPo capable HPI Flux Vapor Pro electronic speed control, all-wheels drive shaft drive technology and sealed tough adjustable gear differentials.

Just like Block’s ability to take his car down any road or obstacle, the miniature version is quite feisty, performing the same stunts at the HPI warehouse and parking lot.

Other features include a HPI TF-40 2.4GHz radio system, a waterproof SF-10W steering servo, adjustable gear differentials, rally-tuned suspension arms, adjustable sway bars to reduce chassis roll, tunable silicone oil-filled shocks, 3mm countersunk aluminium chassis and replica tarmac tyres licensed by Pirelli.
