I put drift tyres on to my HPI WR8 nitro car and go for a gymkhana drift session in a car park. hope you enjoy the video. please don't forget to like and subscribe thanks.
Damn nice car but for this car I would suggest a set of hard rubber onroad tires that will make the car a lot faster but still drift able. Like your content mate 👍
Really enjoy watching your videos of your HPI Nitro Subaru, cause I also have the same one that I bought earlier this year. Looking forwards to seeing more videos with the nitro Subaru.
I love the wr8. I have the nitro and flux. Both absolute weapons and both so much fun to drive. I run the flux on 2s so it doesn't get so hot. Nice content chap
Such a perfect nitro car, extremely reliable and mine holds the tune so well. it was a tough decision between nitro and flux but I’m glad I went nitro. I bet the flux is a beast though
Boiled water for the tyres, wheels in the freezer and it's easy. I also made a hydraulic press with a bottle jack, and then you don't need to do either
i have a set of these tires and the same car, im going to try to use my grip wheels up front and drift tires in the rear, should be able to get higher speed drifts in
such a cool car my friend! sounds amazing:) for drifting I would suggest just putting duct tape on the stock wheels and tires to get it sliding around! its pretty much free. great video subscribed:)
I tried this years ago. It was pointless. You can drift with rubber tires already because there's so little weight pushing the tires into the pavement.

Yeah I just used a set of hard drift tyres of one of my drift cars thought it would be a good laugh. Thanks man 😁
Very fun and happy to remember the addictive smell of nitromethane 😁
Cool experiment

@@dgrc good choice. The flux is real fun in other ways, but overall if I had to pick one, the nitro always gets it. Send it bru!
@@dgrcNo comparison, always Nitro mate
Awesome rally car. I love sliding my buggy around I use cheap ebay slicks. Can do some pretty nice slides and donuts. Them plastic tires look fun too.
Yeah man anything that’s cheap hard plastic is perfect for sliding can have to much fun.
Awesome nitro
You don’t see many people running em these days.
You can’t beat a good nitro car 😁
Love that Subaru body!
Subaru body’s just hit differently
@@dgrc totally agree. I had one as my actual car for a few years…loved it!
@@ClevelandRips same here mate I had a classic 1999 V5 STI. Best car I ever had
@@dgrc Awesome! Great vid brother, I’ll be watching your channel! 🤜💥🤛
Nitro supplies more Smiles per gallon 🏎️💨
Boiled water for the tyres, wheels in the freezer and it's easy. I also made a hydraulic press with a bottle jack, and then you don't need to do either
I like the bottle jack idea I will have to to try that next time 👍🏻
CHEEKY 🏎💨
Man this makes me want to go grab my rs4 and go drift ordering that same body soon for mine
When priming to make your life easier go full throttle and then block the exhaust and pull 👍
Thanks for the tip man. Would of helped if I used a charged glow igniter 🤣
jajajaja nice
NICE.!! 👍 👍 👍
I'm the same with my rc's, gota put the kettle on and have a tea:)
Haha it’s gotta be done mate
i have a set of these tires and the same car, im going to try to use my grip wheels up front and drift tires in the rear, should be able to get higher speed drifts in
Chique carro 🚗 🥰💪🏼👍🏻

That’s a great idea I never even thought of using duct tape 👍🏻
lmao that look funny, i also got this car its sick
yoooo get aluminum deepdish rims! I promise you they will not let you down
That would look 🔥
Need a fule pump on that bro
link to body shell pls thanks
Yo what’s up I have a question for you. I’m debating if I should buy the wr8 nitro or the hpi vorza 3.5?
I would say the WR8 nitro, acceleration is crazy it's a proper hooligan car. Tarmac, dirt it absolutely shreds it
@@dgrc ok thanks! Could you share where you bought yours from I can’t seem to find anyplace
@@ArraxxRL. I use wheelspin models in the UK mate they are the best
@@dgrc ok thanks I have one question though this car can be used off road correct?
Yeah so much fun on loose surfaces like gravel
I'd like to know what engine that is.. or what rc car... Make and model
Check out my channel mate I have a few videos of this rc car. It is a HPI WR8 and it has a G3.0 H.O engine

Wait.. what is the original tire.. foam..
Rubber
I tried this years ago. It was pointless. You can drift with rubber tires already because there's so little weight pushing the tires into the pavement.
The stock tyres have a lot of grip. So when on a surface like tarmac or concrete it doesn’t drift at all.
85mm Hoons look much better
Surely RC nitro tech is dead now?
Not at all
