So a while back I bought a new WR8. Most places were out of stock and I was trying to avoid paying a markup

I was a fan of all the orange metal so I opted right away for some carbon shock towers

Also added a carbon gearbox top plate

Got lucky and after months of searching found a upper deck (they’re sold out everywhere)

Quickly swapped it out

Also took some time to install a hot bodies cooling head

Gotta love all the carbon

The suspension on this car is incredible!

I may do the hubs eventually. But it’ll be grey or purple
I bet it handles just shy of amazing.
A very attractive blue I might add.
its really plush like you’d expect a real rally car to be. Can’t wait to hit some dirt with it
This car is so expensive, even if it can be found in a local hobby shop, why?

Rally New Zealand version, yay!
not sure why it costs so much, it’s not an entirely brand new model. Seems like all hpi products have jumped in price
