Default Traxxas Ken Block Rally Car.

Traxxas 1/16 VXL Rally Ken Block Gymkhana

Really starting to like the rally sport. and since I'll be getting the new DIRT 3 for xbox 360. this might be really fun to play with.

Is it going to crash into everything when you take it outside?

So, are they going to make a 1/32 scale version that Rob Dyrdek will drive? He did the mini rally car on Fantasy Factory with a shifter cart. It was pretty cool. Also, will they make a Pastrana version? Heard he was going to NASCAR next year. Watever.

Strange in this day age how a pretty mediocre driver gets a RC car copy, while exceptional drivers like Leob get nothing.

Guess that's the magic of advertising

It;s because he is the ONLY name most Americans would recognize in a line up of Drivers.

He is also a master entrepreneur. Him, Dyrdek and Pastrana have their fingers in everything.

I disagree, I have one and have beat on it. It is absolutely not junk. I put some touring car tires on it and it is a blast in tighter spaces. The harder tires work well in open lots, or on perfect surfaces.

This vehicle is plenty fast on 2 cell lipo's.

The only thing I have damaged is wearing down my body posts and I have blown a shock cap twice.

This is a fast, fun durable vehicle. I will be adding some offroad tires and raising the body a little to mess with it on a off-road track. (body mounts are very adjuatable).

they are cool little cars..the scale is more like 1/10m which is the size of the hpi cup racers, abc genetics and tamiya m cars..all have 210mm wb..hpi cars can be lengthened a bit and the width is adjustable from 165-180mm, the traxxass car is 180mm width..so there may be some cool bodies that may fit the traxxas car..i think the hpi porche is a good candidate with the wide fenders

i have a mini inferno thats been..um modified a bit anyway it been clocked at over 50mph with the stock tires and its very stable..just hard to keep the front end down at any speed..not all mini,s are crap
i like the kb version, mustang looks cool too..need a challenger body

Now THAT's a shame.

There are loads of decent riders and drivers out there that are entertaining to watch but might not be from our country of origin.

I'm a massive Valentino Rossi fan but last year there were not even any Brits competing in the top class (fixed for next year ;))

No doubt at all that Block is an exceptional advertiser, anyone that disagrees just has to look at how many hits hos vids have.

But as a driver in comparison to other top level drivers he's pretty crap.


So as i say i think that it's a shame that a better advertiser gets a RC shell copied rather than a better driver
