We’re excited to introduce the latest addition to the popular WR8 family: the iconic 1996 Ford Escort RS Cosworth!

Under the officially licensed, stunning replica body, the WR8 3.0 chassis is based on the rugged HPI Bullet RC monster truck, offering unbeatable toughness and durability for both on- and off-road driving. Powered by the easy-to-handle, high-performance Nitro Star G3.0 HO engine, it boasts a 32,000 max RPM and all-aluminum construction, delivering incredible power through the same tough bevel gear differentials and fully ball-bearing-supported 4WD shaft drivetrain found on the Bullet monster truck.
With authentic rally suspension geometry, oil-filled dampers, and extra-thick sway bars, you’ll enjoy exceptional control, whether on dirt or tarmac. Plus, high-spec soft compound tires and genuine rally wheels ensure your ride not only performs but turns heads wherever you go!
The HPI Racing WR8 3.0 is packed with features designed to enhance durability, whether you"re tearing up the track or hitting rugged terrain. It includes high-ground clearance, a skid plate, foam front bumper, optimized rally-style suspension geometry, shock debris guards, mud deflectors, and much more. This is the perfect machine for racing friends on RC Rally-style courses, multi-surface tracks, or anywhere your adventures take you!
