The perfect mix of heritage and all-out epic action
The Subaru World Rally Team first hit the track in 1989 and went on to grab a record 46 rally wins with the Impreza and multiple Constructors' and Drivers' Championships, competing in the WRC longer than any other manufacturer team in their current form. Subaru used the team to showcase its all wheel drive technology and thrill spectators with the ferocious nature of the vehicle.
How fitting then that under the officially licensed replica body, the 1/8th 4WD shaft driven WR8 is ready to go to work thrashing down the lanes in true WRC style. Powered by your choice of NITRO or brushless FLUX power!
Authentic, High Output NITRO Fuelled Power
The WR8 3.0 is powered by an easy-to-use and powerful Nitro Star G3.0 HO engine with all-aluminum 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 carburetor opening from dirt and dust, and the tall forged aluminum heat sink head allows the engine to keep its cool. An all-aluminum exhaust system unlocks the horsepower from the engine and throws out a real trail of exhaust smoke at top speed!
