WR8 Flux 1996 Ford Escort RS Cosworth

HPI WR8 Flux 1996 Ford Escort RS Cosworth – 1/8 4WD electric rally car

The rally legend is back! The latest in the WR8 family is the iconic 1996 Ford Escort RS Cosworth in the classic orange, red and white Repsol livery – one of the best-loved rally liveries of its era. Every rally fan will instantly recognise the officially licensed Group A bodyshell.

Under the body sits the WR8 FLUX chassis, based on the HPI Bullet monster truck – so it can take a proper beating, both on and off the road. A powerful 3700 Kv brushless motor and a waterproof 3S-ready speed controller send the power through metal-gear diffs and a fully ball-bearing 4WD shaft driveline. True rally geometry, oil shock absorbers and extra-thick anti-roll bars give fantastic control on gravel and tarmac, and soft tyres on real rally wheels do the rest. High ground clearance, skid plate, foam bumper, dirt guards on the shock absorbers and mud flaps – ready for rallying with your friends!
