Red Bull M-Sport 1/8 Rally Car from CEN 

Would you rather buy the CEN RC-car or the HPI WR8? Cause I do own the HPI WR8 WRX and am happy as I could be, but the RB M-Sport 1/8 Rally Car from CEN is a car I really like and probably will buy in the future (for my sons 🥴) 😉 All the best from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋

@@5ShotProductions WR8 is a bit more robust and heavier, and probably the better overall basher. The CEN is still a good car and it's so beautiful, but it's a notch below the WR8. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Thx Brett, I really appreciate your fast response 🙏 The funny thing, I own my WR8 Impreza for only 4 weeks, but already burnt 3 tire sets with the car 🥴 It‘s a Biest and I have so much fun with it 😍 And by the way, one of your videos about the WR8 Impreza was the reason for buying that thing cause 4 weeks ago I had bought my younger son a cheap RC Drift Car, so that he could find out if he would like it… Me after driving a few minutes with that thing -> „I need a new toy“ 🫣 So I started typing silly questions into Google, and then started watching a few videos about RC cars… Fast forward: I see quite a few videos about that HPI WR8 Subaru and almost every RU-vidr out there had a blast with it. 4 weeks later and a few Euros less in my pocket I don’t regret the buy at all. I had RC cars when I was younger, the then new Tamiya Blackfoot and the Tamiya Super Saber 😍 But as you might guess, my RC driving “career“ was ages ago 😂 Okay, way too much info for you, I‘m sorry about that 🫣🥴 Thx for the always great videos and all the best, Philipp

Hey now, the 22b/gc body style is my favorite 😂

But seriously it's nice to get some variety, this thing looks sick

Finally!

@DaneH64 🤣🤣 I do totally agree nothing wrong with a good scooby body but Mann!!!! Its been done to death 🙂 I'd love see a good lancia delta or escort cosworth again in 1/8..straight from the box 😆 glad to to see cen have done a modern day rally car shell tho 👌🫡🫶

Traxxas has the Ford Fiesta too and Carisma has an Kia Rally.

The stock WR8 will traction roll like crazy on tarmac. I’ve put in heavier oil and springs to see if it helps. Haven’t actually driven it yet though.

@@hashimrahman51 I believe it came with orange springs and I put on blue ones

Yeah, these are likely preproduction models & hopefully aren't representative of the QC standards on the production version. I've seen this one & Phil's one over at Tomley RC had missing screws, I'm going to watch RC Drivers video when I get a moment to see what his is like. 😉 😉 Preproduction & manufacturer demonstration models can be pretty cool if you can get your hands on them... There's an Ebay shop in the UK that CML Distribution uses to sell theirs once they've finished with them, they import Associated/FTX/Fastrax/CEN/Hobao & a few others I can't remember atm, I once snagged myself an FTX Outlaw with a red rollcage & unpainted body... I've never seen another like it, the cages only came in black or blue. Stay safe out there mate & best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ♥ 📻 🎮 🔋 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚔 🚕 🚖 🚗 🚘 🚙 🚚 🚛 🚜 🏎️ 🏍️ 🚤 🛥️ ✈️ 🛩️ 🚁.

I think whoever mounted that body mounted it a little too far forward. Couple mm back and it would have been good.

Really? Who else had missing screws? -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Tomley RC !

All the running footage was on 3S. For the body, we didn't try raising; that may help? Not sure. -Brett
