🚗💨 LEGEND REBORN. RALLY READY 🔥
One of the most iconic rally cars of the 1990s is back in a whole new form! 🏁
Meet the HPI Racing VectR4, a brand-new small-scale rally platform inspired by the legendary, officially licensed 1996 Ford Es**rt RS Cosworth. From its aggressive wide arches and unmistakable whale tail rear wing to its authentic rally styling, the VectR4 brings the spirit of classic Ford performance to a compact, purpose-built 4WD machine!
And this isn't just about looking the part. Beneath that beautifully detailed bodyshell lies a fully assembled rally chassis engineered to deliver exciting, confidence-inspiring performance across a variety of surfaces. Whether you're carving through corners on tarmac, kicking up dust on gravel or creating your own miniature special stages, the VectR4 is ready to bring the rally action!
Underneath the iconic Es**rt bodywork, the VectR4 packs a serious collection of features designed for exciting small-scale driving. Its full-time, shaft-driven 4WD system works alongside three sealed 4-gear differentials at the front, centre and rear to deliver smooth, predictable handling and dependable traction across changing surfaces ⚙️
Adjustable, oil-filled suspension helps keep the chassis composed when the action gets rough, while the HPI Firebolt 380 45T brushed motor delivers smooth, controllable power. A fully enclosed drivetrain helps protect the transmission from dirt and debris, and full ball bearings throughout the transmission support smooth, efficient operation. The dual bellcrank steering system, complete with an integrated servo saver, provides precise, responsive control through tight corners and quick changes of direction
🎨 The VectR4 is packed with realistic touches that bring this rally icon to life. Its officially licensed, two-piece Ford Es**rt RS Cosworth polycarbonate bodyshell captures the distinctive shape of the original, complemented by authentic rally wheels, compact 45mm tyres and practical 12mm hex wheel mounting
Realistic brake discs and calipers add extra detail behind the wheels, while integrated front and rear LED lighting brings the Es**rt's unmistakable appearance to life. With selectable lighting modes controlled directly from the transmitter, you can change the look at the touch of a button. The clever clipless body mounting system keeps the iconic body lines clean, without traditional body clips spoiling the scale appearance
Measuring just 285mm long, 125mm wide and 95mm high, with a 170mm wheelbase, the VectR4 brings big rally excitement to a compact new platform.
