Default HPI WR8 Flux/Ken Block H.F.H.V Rally Car Thread

Enter the official thread for all things HPI WR8 Flux! I didn't find a thread dedicated to this car in either the on-road or off-road forums. Seeing as the car can be run on either surface, I figured I would nest this under the off-road forum.

Anywho, I just got my WR8 a few days ago and I'm loving it so far!

I got the Abu Dhabi body version which comes with the tarmac tires. They're pretty useless on gravel or anything loose. Can someone tell me whether the gravel spec tires actually help traction that much in the dirt?

Thanks

Yes I still own it, and I run it whenever I get my RCs out. I haven't had much time lately for them but I always take the WR8 for a spin when I do.

I don't have a wr8 flux, I have the traxxas rally. Still wanted to post here, I hope this catches on soon It doesn't look like it will, but the few times I have taken mine to the track, I had all positive comments.

I really have a lot of fun running mine, and a few other local guys are getting them too

I would love to see some multi surface, slightly narrow rally specific courses
