Mine originally has really bad steering issues, it was not centering proper and would pull this way and that. Adding an alloy steering arm made it feel like the car it should have been right away. One of the best mods right there.

But the sloppy steering gives a character to drive. My original is due for overall.
Be good to read some thoughts from new owner. While didn't drive mine much this year. It's still one of my top vehicles.

I really enjoy running the WR8's....I lowered the car a bit and made some wheel changes & added some motor fans.

I used to have so much fun with this chassis. When I was running the castle mamba max pro 3800kv 3s combo the car was a little beast. So much fun ripping that car on pavement and gravel. It looked like a real turbo beast buzzing all around the place.
It is nice to see the car getting some love again. Hopefully HPI keeps the chassis alive
Very nice! Very nice!

Might be finally time for me to change systems. Stock motor still going strong but 3 stock esc's failed. Both still have stock servos in them.
Very nice! Very nice!

FWIW the 1:10 scale MambaMax Pro (aka SCT Pro now) is probably the best ESC to go with on the WR8.
I ran the HPI version on mine (it is the Q-Base) and it worked flawlessly.
It was light but definitely solid enough to run the stock motor on 3s pretty much all day long.
I can't praise it enough!

Thanks Gozz you have yours setup up on rails.
MikeR- Very nice Exotek upgrades!
BK- I agree the body is expensive...trying to get the Euro spec WR8 flux car in the states was challenging.

Good to hear from some familiar names here.
