WR8 Nitro 2001 WRC Subaru Impreza RTR 1/8th Scale 4WD Nitro Rally Car with 2.4GHz Radio

We're delighted to announce the return of the ever popular WR8 family, in the form of the classic 2001 WRC Subaru Impreza, piloted to win the Driver's Championship 20 years ago in 2001! Any rally fan will will recognise the illustrious blue and yellow livery as one of the most recognisable in the sport, and what better way to herald the return of HPI's fan favourite rally platform than with a classic Subaru Impreza!

The WR8 3.0 is powered by an easy-to-use and powerful Nitro Star G3.0 HO engine with all-aluminium construction and 32,000 max RPM, delivering power through the same tough bevel gear differentials and fully ball bearing-supported 4WD shaft drivetrain. A 2-stage air filter protects the carburettor opening from dirt and dust, and the tall forged aluminium heat sink head allows the engine to keep its cool. An all-aluminium exhaust system unlocks the horsepower from the engine and throws out a real trail of exhaust smoke at top speed!

Underneath the officially licensed and famous replica Impreza body, the WR8 3.0 chassis is based on the HPI Bullet RC monster truck. This means it's massively tough and can take a real beating on- or off-road! The WR8 3.0 is powered by an easy-to-use and powerful Nitro Star G3.0 HO engine with all-aluminium construction and 32,000 max RPM, delivering power through the same tough bevel gear differentials and fully ball bearing-supported 4WD shaft drivetrain of the Bullet monster truck.

With authentic rally suspension geometry, oil-filled dampers and extra-thick sway bars you'll have fabulous control on dirt or tarmac! Top it off with high-spec, soft compound tyres and authentic rally wheels and you've got an instant head-turner in your hands!

HPI Racing WR8 3.0 is crammed with features that enhance its durability anywhere you want to take it, including a high ground clearance, skid plate, 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 RC Rally-style courses and multi-surface tracks, or anywhere you like!

Like all HPI Racing RTR (Ready-To-Run) cars, the WR8 3.0 is completely pre-built: all you have to do is add transmitter and receiver batteries, nitro fuel and you're ready to start running in the engine!G3.0 HIGH-OUTPUT NITRO ENGINE

The Nitro Star G3.0 H.O. engine is a super-powerful upgraded engine based on the already strong G3.0 used in the HPI Bullet 3.0 trucks. The engine is fitted with a steel flywheel for smooth idling and a racing-style 2-shoe clutch for excellent acceleration and throttle response. If you want instant wheelspin, you've got it! The power from the G3.0 H.O. engine is unbelievable, and with up to 32,000RPM you'll get screamingly fast speeds at the pull of a trigger!

SUPER REALISTIC RALLY WHEELS AND REAL RUBBER TYRES

For the ultimate in replica looks and fantastic performance, every HPI WR8 3.0 2001 WRC Subaru Impreza is fitted with race-spec, authentic bronze rally wheels. The wheels really help the car stand out as a scale replica, and for extreme performance, the wheels are wrapped with soft compound HPI tyres moulded in real rubber.

The grippy rubber and aggressive pattern help the car stick to asphalt or tarmac for real rallying action giving you plenty of grip even on dusty paved surfaces! Plus, the tread design delivers fantastic self-cleaning properties for perfect mud-shedding performance, not to mention powerful acceleration and braking!

SUSPENSION JUST LIKE A FULL-SIZE RALLY CAR!

Fans of rally cars, from real ones to scale 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 3.0 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 the legendary Subaru Rally Team!

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! Whether you want to drive like a pro, or be your own chief mechanic: it’s easy to do both with the HPI WR8 3.0!

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND

For some time now, fans of the WR8 have been demanding that it be brought back once again so that they can enjoy the unique on-road / off-road rampage this platform delivers. Based on the chassis of the HPI Bullet Monster Truck, there really is no better rally vehicle on the RC market. What better way to herald its return than to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Late Richard Burns' WRC Drivers' Championship win.

Engine Air Filter
Size: (Pack of 1)
This engine air filter fit perfectly in my 2018 Honda CR-V. No idea how it will perform but so far the Check Engine Light has not come on since installing the filter. Since there have been no problems I am happy with this filter and will likely buy again in the future. The filter does appear to be made from quality materials.

My mileage on my 2021 Honda CRV dropped 4 miles /gallon with this air filter.
Size: (Pack of 1)
My mileage on my 2021 Honda CRV dropped 4 miles /gallon with this air filter. It did fit well and was easy to install, but then I watched my average around town mileage drop from 29-31mpg to 26-27 mpg thru 2 tank fillups. The Honda repair person said this filter looked like the Honda one and was surprised when we wanted to switch it out. Granted, it looked just like the Honda filter, but the folds on the Honda one are yellowish and I have to think there has to be some difference in the texture. The average mileage went back up within 10 miles of replacing it and 3 fill ups later it has continuously maintained its original average of 29-31 with the Honda filter.

As good as Original Manufacturer Equipment.
Size: (Pack of 1)
Cheaper than having the dealer or oil change store do it. Only takes a minute to replace your existing filter for a lot less than what they want to charge you. High quality too!

Excellent Honda Alternative
Size: (Pack of 1)
I try to get everything and to keep everything as a manufacturer original on a car as possible. I will say that this filter is just as good as the Honda. The installation was very simple, you just need a screw driver to unscrew the 4 screws in the air box and this sits right in. The engine ran better and immediately got so much better MPG. I did not notice the engine struggling for air at all, if anything the car ran better. The fitment was the same size and just as good as the Honda. P.S Don't be like me. Don't hesitate to buy it. You'll love it. No questions asked!
