I dig it! "thumbsup" Makes me want one...

Re: Traxxas Ken Block offroad conversion
 

Personally I don't like it because of the scale and re-boxing of the same chassis over and over. Otherwise I think they look cool.

Everyone that buys them expect them to handle like Ken Block's real car. And it does not. Its a great platform in my opinion but it most certainly not a drifter.

I love my Mini E-Revo. It's incredibly fun, so I thought I would give this a try. And boy am I glad I did, I was smiling ear to ear driving it.

just a warning this thing is NOT fun in the stock form, its handling is just to unpredictable.

I set my non Block Fiesta for rally use, it's kinda fun and could hold it's own against a bunch of 1/10 Slashes on a dirt oval in a friend's back yard and took to the air surprisingly well "thumbsup"

I know this is very old but sweet setup. Just picked up one of these with a Castle brushless system in it. Going to seriously consider this upgrade.
