Awesome and Powerful
Ken Block Action!
You've seen it in Gymkhana 8, you've seen it in Terrakhana, and you've seen it racing in Gymkhana GRiD - Ken Block's jaw-droppingly cool color-shift Ford Fiesta ST RX43 racer is now available for you to drive away in a sweet 1/8th scale WR8 FLUX version! HPI FLUX power is able to propel this 485mm (19") long replica car from a standing start into wild racing action and 60+ mph (100+km/h) with just a single pull of the trigger, so it's the perfect way to copy Ken's epic performances with your friends!
Underneath the replica Ken Block Ford Fiesta ST RX43 body, the WR8 FLUX chassis is based on the HPI Bullet RC monster truck, which means it's massively tough and can take a real beating on- or off-road! The WR8 FLUX is powered by a massive 4000KV brushless motor and waterproof 3S-capable speed controller, delivering power through tough metal gear differentials and the fully ball bearing-supported 4WD shaft drivetrain of the Bullet monster truck. Combine this with WR8 rally-style suspension geometry, custom-designed shock towers and dampers, plus extra-thick sway bars for extra control! Top it off with semi-slick tarmac tires and replica fifteen52 TurboMac wheels and you've got an instant head-turner in your hands!
The HPI Racing WR8 is crammed with awesome features that enhance its durability anywhere you want to take it, including a high ground clearance, skidplate, foam front bumper, optimized rally-style suspension geometry, shock debris guards, mud deflectors on the chassis and much more. It's the ideal machine to race your friends on Gymkhana-style courses and multi-surface tracks, or anywhere you like!
Like all HPI Racing RTR (Ready-To-Run) cars, the WR8 FLUX is completely pre-built: all you have to do is open the box, install the batteries and you are ready for awesome stunt action! 4 AA alkaline HPI Plazma batteries are included for the transmitter, all you have to provide is a 2S or 3S LiPo battery for the car, plus a LiPo charger.

Suspension Just Like Ken’s Full-Size Car!
Fans of racing cars, from real ones to little ones, know that to get the best out of your car you need to have a sturdy, tuneable suspension system. That’s why the HPI Racing WR8 uses double wishbone suspension at all four corners, fitted with real coil over oil-filled shock absorbers and thick sway bars front and rear, just like real racing cars! Thick main suspension arms are mated to durable uprights fitted with a pair of rubber-sealed ball bearings for performance that matches Ken’s Ford Fiesta ST RX43.
Full Adjustability Just Like The Real Thing!
All this function is nothing if you can’t customize the car to your liking. Although we’ve set the car to be just about perfect right out of the box, you can easily adjust loads of settings, exactly like a real racing car! Ride height, shock angle and more are simple to adjust if you want to dive under the hood – HPI make it easy to be your own race car mechanic AND driver! Drive like Ken, or work on his car: it’s easy to do both with the Ken Block WR8 FLUX!
MMH-4000 BRUSHLESS MOTOR
The FLUX MMH-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.
EMH-3S SPEED CONTROLLER
With the capacity to handle 2S and 3S LiPo power, the FLUX EMH-3S electronic speed control is able to handle the latest, most powerful batteries you can fit in the WR8 FLUX. The EMH-3S 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.
