- The Ken Block RX43 Gymkhana Fiesta is one of the most Iconic and Famous Cars out there. The HPI WR8 RC Car version is in my opinion one of the Best RC Cars ever made, and has certainly earn't legend status. #kenblock #hoonigan #rccar

Rest in peace ken block you will be remembered forever mate.
RIP Ken Block 4/3. Legends never die.
I can't think of parting from my WR8's. I first got the Impreza because of Richard Burns being my favourite rally driver. By a strike of grace I was able to get the Ken Block RX version (blue wheeled beast) and I can't get enough of it The looks, the sound, the power and the whole driving experience is frikkin' awesome. Merci from Belgium for your content and attitude of gratitude. I salute you Mr T, MERCI!
Whats the difference between the subaru and ford one? Just the shell? Or do they drive very different?
RIP, Ken Block. I heard Phil punches the Great White Sharks in the face for fun. What a legend!
Oh, another flyer here? Sweet!
Cheers from Brazil, dude! 🖖😊
💪😅
Only when He's not Wrestling Giant Squid.
@@MCsCreations Oi! Como Vai? :D I love Portuguese.. it's just VERY hard to remember for a Brit (Me anyways lol) we use 'Oi' a lot Here too.. usually as "Oi..Wot u lookin' at?" or something welcoming like that :D
where in Brasil are you?.. was in Brasil Years ago, Had a Brazillian GF.. Fantastic Country!.. I wanna go back ASAP
@mrmagoo.3678 I live in a city called Caraguatatuba, in Sao Paulo state. 😊
It's difficult to pronunciate, but it's a great place. It's a beach city. And, by the way, a neighbor of mine is from Portugal, but worked as an engineer for decades for Nasa!
Anyway, if you ever come, let me know. We can take a good cup of coffee. 😊
Ultimate rally beast! Would love to see that thing hit the dirt. 2 wheel action and launches were epic
Absolutely beautiful! Great fun.
I am fortunate enough to own the version of this car with the other body style and totally agree, it is the best running, most durable and fun to drive RC street/dirt patch basher I own!
Nice! Keep hold of it!
Pretty amazing car indeed, Phil! Fantastic work!!! 😃
Great luck, everybody!
Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊
Thanks dude. You too
R.I.P. ❤ Truly a legend of our time! Never forgotten ❤
You did Block Proud in that First Video! lol.. melted the Tyres right off it! :D
How good! This is so good haha glad I stumbled across this 👌🏾 🇳🇿
Excellent rebuild. The car looks great and runs great!
Thanks Michael
Great update/repair, car looks great 👍 👌
Thanks dude
The problem now is I couldn’t run it. Too much history behind it and has to be kept in the condition you shipped it in.
😂 😂 I've done that to diffs before..
It's those plastic cases, can't take the heat.!
Yes… must have got a little hot on 6s 😅
This is such a cool car! I love the food really cars!
I'm so glad we share the same opinion on the wr8. I have the flux and the nitro. Both absolute weapons. Mine are the subarus though, and I have the abu dhabi body as well. Just needs the rear fender. Nice car Phil, guess I'll have to enter the raffle.
Yes, I looked for a Subaru a few weeks back and they are also hard to get hold of!
Which do u like more nitro or electric ? I wish I woulda got nitro instead of the flu
Hard to pick one. If time was no issue, the nitro is my fave, but the electric is great because its more driving and less fiddling, rebuilding, cleaning etc@@ll.7927
Agree absolute legend of a rc car...
Looks like one hell of car. Raised suspension and some knobby rally tires and it would be a hoot out on the dirt roads in the woods around here. :D
Couldnt respect you more for this tomley
- you knew what the market was looking like in terms of ken blocks merch being sold at sky high prices upon news of his death but rather than cash in like the rest of them you did something productive and gave it for someone else to have fun with
100% some collector would just shove that on the shelf if sold it regular which isnt a bad thing but realistically they are ment to be driven like real cars
Ive never understood people whom buy such an investment and turn it into an expensive paperweight but hey .. not my money 😂
Fair play tomley thank you for being something positive for the community and giving back man ♥️+1000 respect
Im sure in the spirit of the sport ken would be proud
That was an amazing restoration brother.
Cheers dude
Very nice transitions nice and smooth
I have to confess I have 3, the first edition Ken block white livery one, I got a multicolored fiesta too but sourced the same body you have there but for nitro, and a new wax wr8. They are a lot of fun.
Nice work as always Phil. I hate waiting for parts to arrive (I'm in Western Australia, so it takes a while).
Like the ooeer, it's like a Carry on movie.
Haha… ooooerrr
The wait a while state (WA) I work in logistics and takes 4 days for stuff from Vic to get to WA minimum.
I'm in Tassie mate, it's wait an extra week down here. Lol.
Cor blimey!!😅😂
Great video and a great rc car. Love from Canada. ❤ RIP Ken Block
Awesome! RIP K.B. FLUX WR8 is a beast.
I owned it in 2019 before Hpi went out of business. I’ve had over 30 RC’s and it doesn’t take long to realize this is one of the best RC’s ever made. The problem was I would destroy the wheels in 4 or 5 runs and to replace them with the stock wheels it was like $100 and the aftermarket wheels were horrible! Hpi parts were as expensive as upgraded redcat parts, but way harder to find because they did not have support and in 2019 they were having major issues trying to stay in business. this is the only RC I’ve ever owned that I was able to do a full 360 at almost full speed without flipping it. There’s a video of fresh squeezed RC doing the same thing!!!
Great video as always! That's an awesome RC car. I wonder which other rc cars that have came out recently that will be considered collectors in years to come.
Hard to tell really. I’m sure there are a few
@@TomleyRC What do you think about the FMS magnum truck?? If sealed in original box. Would that be worth something eventually?
Just bought my tickets, first time doing one of these raffles so 🤞🤞 would love one of these but no chance of ever being able to afford one the way the prices are going. Wish i'd seen the tamiya porsche raffle in time aswell that was a beautiful build!
Good luck Paul 🤞🏻
I am in on this raffle for sure. Thanks for saving this car.
Good luck 👌
I have seen one for sale for 10.000 danish crowns, that is absoluteley innsane, but quiet understandable. May he for ever rest in peace and be the reason for the clouds that we see on the sky❤
Wow, what an awesome car, superb stuff!!
One thing I remember from hpi cars is how much of a pain they are to work on. I stopped getting them because it's ridiculous lol
Man I've been wanting and looking for one of these for the longest time I really hope I win it!!! It'll be a shelf queen for sure
Good luck mate
I’ve been wanting the WR8 Flux since 2013 when Gymkhana 5 came out but I never had that kind of money to buy one and I was just getting into RC Hobby back then. I was sad that it went discontinued for a long time until last year I heard they brought it back but this time it was the Subaru WRX STI body which I believe it was the Colin McRae edition. They did also brought back the Nitro version as well.
Yes, although the Subaru seems to be hard to find now as well!
What a awesome prize, and rebuild
Great video. Beautiful piece of machinery
Yes, so nice!
Tenho um wr8 e amo ele ! falo do Brasil e amo seus videos.
Way to make me want this even more.... Those blue wheels....
😅
You're the man for giving that one away‼️👍👍🦾🦾
Well.. it’s not strictly a giveaway… but it’s certainly a prize worth winning!
Great video Phil. Always wanted to see this and the lc racing ptg again 😊
Hoping to get the LC Racing out again at some point
That’s the coolest looking rc! Ken is a legend
Wow, im just getting into the hobbie and i think i suouldve found your videos first mate, i rip the legend 😢Ken Block
Lol those pins melted in is pretty funny must have got pretty warm
Nothing compared to the big fin
Mitchellin escorts cozy 🤣
That was my first and only pricey rc and it was so much fun ! .
Sweet ... looks siick with the blue wheels
I knew of Ken Block and Hoonigan, but didn't pay much attention to the new rally cars until recently. The look of them is so off putting, I just knew about Colin McRae and watched rally back in the early 2000s. But watching footage of the full scale likes of the Yaris and Fiestas, they are slowly growing on me. Those cars do some insane Group B type of stuff and the fans haven't seemed to learn from history 😁. I don't like how they all look the same, but I get it.. it's for the safety of the drivers at the end of the day. Can't wait to race you on that rally track in the skies, Ken! Legends never die!
That WR8 Flux rocks!!
How I wish I Could get one of these bad boy🥺.
I’m a fan of HPI, I Do Have the HPI RS4 Sport 3 Drift ( Fatlace Subaru BRZ). They’re a great basher and I’m trying to make it a entry level car for Drifting and Touring 🙂.
But Finding upgrade parts for my car it’s so hard. 😢 I hope I could find one.
Rip Ken Block. A true legend gone. Also I guess I’m early
Wow. Great. 👍👍👍
It looks like a real car in some of the montage closeups.
I’m good with a GoPro 😅
what about a winner from Lebanon )) I would be very lucky since we don't have any good RC brands in Lebanon. Good luck everyone
RIP #43 Ken Block
Very nice 😊Be awesome to have this one down under in Aus in my collection 😎
Awesome car ! I’ve got an HPI WR8 Flux Ken block edition but with a different body shell on it.
All the fixings in the receiver tray just in case. You can take the technician out of the RAF......
Haha… I’m surprised there was no masking tape around it telling me what it was 😅
Great rebuild
Thanks mate
Saw a tasty Hilux out and about this afternoon ! 😉
Haha…. Had my first run out after finally getting it registered!
@@TomleyRC it’s looking good mate !👍
DrOOL!!! Gymkana RC style!
Great job! Your videos are top notch
Thank you. Appreciate it 👍
I've had 5 cups of coffee just since I started this video lol
Oh snap I see the old GR YARIS in the background on a few clips lol ..
Awesome content as per, bought some tickets , fingers crossed 🤞
Cool bananas Mr Tomley! I always kind of fancied the first Tamiya Subaru WRX when that came out, but couldn't afford it at the time. Now I can afford to buy 20 raffle tickets I'll have a go for this beastie!
Jeez, I had to add your name, Tamiya, WRX and beastie, to Firefox's dictionary! Such a drag man!
Oh yes, my 1/24th Hilux arrived the other day! Proud to say it's already on the shelf, still in it's box, alongside one or two other boxed WPLs. . . .
Good luck mate. I’ve got a lovely RC4WD Hilux to build. A replica of my own 👌
KEN43ver! Salute 🤚
My hpi vorza s truggy did the same thing to the center diff
crazy car
Just participated in the Raffle, in my country it is out of stock everywhere. Plus, my birthday is the day before the raffle ends, would be nice to wake up for a winning.😅
alex kowaliuk here from america god thats the best rc ever im not even gonna try to win it because if i did i would have an fricken melt down. but as always awsome content tim just the best ..😉
Thanks mate 👌
not gonna lie, when you set the body down on your trail truck in the background, it actually looks SICK
Yes, for me the most fun rc car of all. We drive it more than 10 years. And its fun like in the first days. I am very happy that they dont stop the production. its the only rc car what i have never sell. And i had many... But you have to change some things to get it perfekt. Like to replace the crap original ESC and Damper.
I love when past me takes care of future me
😃
Was going to enter but the raffle website kept giving me tons of pop up ads making it hard to enter my info good luck to everyone who had the patience to finish the form
love your vids man from vt usa
Thank you. Appreciate it
I used to run an rc shop and hpi sales support was shockingly bad. No good having a great car if you can’t get spares
Yep im keeping mine in its box for a while longer 😊
Yes… a collectors item for sure!
Great video! Entered comp so fingers crossed
Nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What’s the ride height on that model ? How would it compare to the xv02 by tamiya?
Epic rebuild
I wish I could win it.. but I'm in the states and I'm to poor on ssi money lately now ..
Even before his accident that kit was double in $. I was looking a couple years ago
Badass Phil, huge fan of the channel, I've looked everywhere for this car.... got my tickets! Thanks for the opportunity!🤘
Good luck mate 👌
Gosh you work fast 😂😂
😅
looks amazing will be trying the rafle make sure you do to guys
😁
Great video! You should try out a Maverick Quantum RX Flux car!
2 days from modelsport? That's slow for them 😂 I've ordered something at 4pm and it's turned up at 11am the next day, in Scotland 😮 ⚡️🚀
Yes… bigger stuff is usually next day with DPD. I ordered this in the afternoon and it was with my in about 36hrs (standard post) 👌
What about the hpi rs4 sport3 1965 mustang Ken block monster energy edition. Is been discontinued but I'd think it would be one ppl r looking for also. I happen to have one tho. I'd like to know what it would be worth or going for.
Yes, another sort after RC Car
Such an awesome handling car I liked it so much I entered the raffle.
Phil youre a legend! Only rc youtuber whos not all around annoying👍 keep up the good vids man got no one else to watch😅
Baddassss....
What a car 😮😮
Selling mine is the biggest mistake I ever made I have a spare set of Ken Block battery straps if yer need
Awsome mate bloody awesome 👌
Good tunes
The WR8 is back in production but obviously not this Ken Block version. Such a rad car!
Looks good but I think the new Cen racing Puma may give this a run for its money!
I just bought one on ebay brand new never ran for 500 US👍🏿😁
Just entered the raffle. I wanna win this 😅
Good luck 👌
😎👍
