Advanced Nitro Rally Car with Extreme Performance

The WR8 3.0 1996 Ford Escort RS Cosworth 1/8 RTR Nitro Rally Car by HPI is a high-performance rally machine designed for enthusiasts who demand authenticity and power. Featuring the iconic 1996 San Remo Rally Repsol livery, this model brings a legendary rally car to life in a stunning scale replica. Built on the rugged WR8 3.0 chassis and powered by the Nitro Star G3.0 HO engine, it offers durability, speed, and an exhilarating driving experience.


Authentic Rally Performance

The WR8 3.0 is engineered to replicate the handling and capabilities of a full-size rally car. With its full-time 4WD system, bevel gear differentials, and high-torque drivetrain, it offers precise control on any terrain. The realistic rally suspension geometry, combined with oil-filled dampers and thick sway bars, ensures a smooth yet responsive ride. Additionally, soft compound tarmac tires and scale rally wheels provide optimal traction, making it a true performer on the track.


Powerful Nitro Engine

The Nitro Star G3.0 HO engine delivers raw power with up to 32,000 RPM, offering incredible speed and acceleration. Featuring all-aluminum construction, a racing-style two-shoe clutch, and a steel flywheel, this engine is built for high performance. A two-stage air filter protects the carburetor from dirt and debris, while the forged aluminum heat sink head ensures efficient cooling. The all-aluminum exhaust system enhances power output, producing an exhilarating engine note as you race.


Advanced Radio Gear

Equipped with HPI's TF-51 transmitter and RF-51N receiver, the WR8 3.0 offers superior control and customization. The updated fourth channel digital slider and steering exponential feature allows for fine-tuned handling. With an ergonomic drop-down steering position and foam-covered wheel, the controller provides comfort and precision. The RF-51N receiver inlcudes a built-in failsafe and a water resistant silicone inner jacket, ensuring reliability in all conditions. Additionally, the integrated LED lighting system adds a realistic touch with functional headlights, taillights, and brake lights.
