Want Vs Need Ken Block Gymkhana Replica RC Car!


When you consider that Ken Blocks Gymkhana HFHV Fiesta RS costs somewhere in the region of $5million to make, £400 (or $480) seems like quite a bargain. Okay, so this HPI Racing 1/8 scale Fiesta WR8 Flux might be a radio controlled car but its likely to be the closest than you can get...

Last time around, KBs replica rally car was created by Traxxas and the move to HPI has ruffled a few feathers in the RC community. However, when you read the spec of this beauty, youre going to be smashing up your piggy bank like angry Thor to count up the pennies:



HPI KEN BLOCK WR8 FLUX SPEC:
  • Full time 4WD shaft drive technology with adjustable gear differentials
  • Flux Vapor Pro speed controller to handle the most powerful batteries
  • Flux Vector 4000KV motor - capable of speeds up to 60mph
  • Waterproof servo that can handle all terrain and weather conditions
  • Rally tuned suspension arms, oil-filled shocks and front and rear sway bars
  • Tough and durable aluminium chassis
  • Replica tarmac Gymkhana wheels with officially licensed Pirelli tyres
Do we want one? You bethca.
