Authentic Style & EngineeringBuilt for High-Speed Off-Road Action

The HPI 1/8 WR8 Flux 1996 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Rally Sanremo combines motorsport history with modern remote-control performance. Featuring an officially licensed replica body finished in the classic 1996 Repsol rally livery, this brushless RC car captures the look and spirit of the original WRC homologation special. Underneath the high-strength body shell sits a rugged 3mm aluminum chassis derived from the proven HPI Bullet platform, complete with oil-filled coil-over shocks, heavy-duty gear differentials, and front and rear sway bars. Whether taking sharp tarmac corners or kicking up dust on dirt tracks, the FLX10-3660-3700KV brushless motor and waterproof 3S speed control provide explosive acceleration and control via the 2.4GHz TF-51 radio system.
