I can make a guess that you’ve seen at least one of the amazing video’s of the DC Shoe / Ken Block Gymhkana series where amazing car control and some insane video action makes you drool. We all dream of having that Ford Fiesta (man did we just say we dream about Ford Fiesta’s) and tearing through the streets, ripping doughnuts, and jumping stuff. Most of us also know that our little “Fiesta Dream” has always been in scale form…that’s why we love RC right?
HPI has always partnered with full sized teams and created RC replicas to further enhance the dream, and now the HPI Ken Block WR8 Ford Fiesta 1/8-scale Flux edition is ready to make us all superstars of Youtube or even your neighborhood. The body is an exact replica of the 650hp Fiesta Ken uses in his latest video, and underneath you get a torture -ready WR8 1/8-scale RTR that packs in tons of features.
