Just ordered the 2023? Richard Burns edition along with every HPI aluminum hop-up. Super excited to have this car. Nice vid. Cheers.

How would these kind of rally setups do on say a BMX track? Trying decide on first RC. I keep coming back to the WR8, the traxxas fiesta, quantum RX or even the FTX DR8 as that seems best all round

Thanks for the comparison, maybe next time you can do a more off road version?

How has durability been? I really wanna get one but there is pretty much no longer any HPI support in Canada so everything would have to be ordered from the states.. My only other option would be turn a Vendetta into a sorta of rally car.

@JagImaging Since I'm not jumping this off ramps durability is not even a question. No breaks. Hop-ups are limited right now but really it doesn't need it. If you decide to up the power system or replace the servo those parts are not specific to this car.

I own two of these cars and never had any issue. Never broke anything. You should not break anything as long as you drive like rally car. No jumps no flying with this car. Diff could be an issue one day but diff is the same for many HPI cars. (Bullet) I recommend more sets of tires. Michelin for rally or tarmac tire. Or original tire Hpi sold with Ford Fiesta. These are very universal for all terrains.

May have missed it, but what about gearing? What’s the difference between the two? Steering angle adjustments?
@ReadySetRC

@BANG For Your Buck Rc Reviews Stock gearing on both which is the same. The links on both are fixed so is no adjustments to toe and camber. The only thing that changed on the two was the electronics minus the shell😊

Have you tried to adjust the ESC in the Subaru? The stock "Agressive" level is set to 5 I think, but you can tweak it up to 9.

Only sad thing about the new one is the plastics are brittle, more so than the old wr8, less “bashable” and my reciever box didnt have the little rubber water resist gaskets
