Traxxas RTR 1/16 Ken Block Gymkhana Fiesta VXL 2.4GHz with Battery and Charger
Product Description
From the Manufacturer
In 2005, DC Shoes co-founder Ken Block entered his first pro rally race. At the end of the season, he was named Rally America Rookie of the Year. Today, Ken Block is one of the most recognized names in motorsports. Beyond his success in the Rally America and World Rally Championship series, Block is best known for his gymkhana skills, as over 85 million online video views will attest. In his specially-prepared Ford Fiesta Gymkhana car, Block combines laser-precise driving with tire-smoking fury to perform seemingly impossible moves. His on-road acrobatics require a vehicle that can deliver intense power through all four wheels, with the responsiveness and "feel" that only a finely tuned machine can provide. You can experience the challenge and satisfaction of executing that perfect slide between the pylons with the Traxxas radio controlled Ken Block Gymkhana Fiesta. This officially licensed special-edition race replica features the unmistakable Ken Block/Monster Energy graphics of Ken Block's full-size Ford Fiesta competition car. Beneath the bodywork, Traxxas' race-proven technology, full-time 4WD, and tire-spinning brushless horsepower thread the needle through the course with scalpel-like precision. The fun lasts for hours as you perfect the throttle and steering inputs to make each tire-blistering slide more perfect than the last.

Customer Reviews
This car is extremely fun, durable and can be used for drift or grip driving. The short wheelbase makes it a little sketchy when you let off the throttle at high speeds and tends to swap the front end for the rear end, but that makes it more fun in my opinion.
I would definitely suggest a second stock battery and the parallel connector for extended run times (one battery: 15-20 minutes, two batteries: 30 minutes). For long run times, I would highly suggest getting the (2) 2200mah LiPo batteries with the parallel connector (45 minutes of very hard driving).
The brushless motor is very powerful and drifts easily with the Gymkhana tires. A buddy tried my tires on his HPI Racing E10 Monster Mustang and the car would not stay sideways due to lack of power. The ESC (engine control) is easy to use with the LED. Easy to switch between NiMH and LiPo batteries and has 3 settings: Normal-full throttle/full reverse. Race-full throttle/no reverse, Training-Half throttle/half reverse. This makes learning the car a lot easier.
The electronics are O-ring sealed so you can drive it through water, just not submersible. I highly suggest taking them apart and cleaning after you encounter water because some residual will creep in.
The suspension is completely cusomizable: Toe in/out, camber in/out and ride height by the simple turning of a screw. The shock dampening rate can be changed by changing the viscosity of the oil. The differentials can be tightened or loosened for grip or drift by changing the viscosity of the oil.
The controller is customizable too: Center balance of the front wheels. Steering is adjustable from linear to exponential (for control while driving faster). The throttle trigger can be set 50 gas/ 50 reverse or 70 gas/ 30 reverse for more accurate throttle control. The Traxxas link encoding prevents other 2.4Ghz controllers from interferring with the car (we tried it with the HPI 2.4Ghz controller)
The car comes with all the tools required to take the ENTIRE car apart which is really nice.
I would highly suggest this car to anyone who wants a quality RC car and is willing to pay a little extra for that quality.
Excellent car, exceeded my expectations. Great present for my husband's birthday! He is driving it every day and loves it!
