INTRODUCTION
Ken Block is one of the most recognized names in motorsports
today. 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. In radio control, that car is the Ken Block Gymkhana Fiesta
from Traxxas. This officially licensed special-edition race replica
features the unmistakable Ken Block/ Monster Energy graphics of
Ken Block's full-size Ford Fiesta gymkhana car. The specially tuned
suspension and tire compounds let you ride the slip angle with
thrilling precision, drifting the car sideways through turns and
putting your skills to the test as you master gymkhana-style driving
right in your own driveway.
Beneath the bodywork, your new model combines proven Traxxas
innovations including F1-inspired, rocker-actuated suspension,
waterproof electronics, and a monocoque-style chassis for
outstanding handling and incredible speed and power. Your
Traxxas model is designed for high-performance driving, with
balanced weight distribution, lightweight and high-strength
materials, and the precise engineering that is the hallmark of all
Traxxas vehicles.
Your model's Velineon brushless motor system represents the
state of the art in Ready-To-Race
®
electric power. In addition to the
high power output and incredible speeds possible with brushless
technology, the Velineon system offers precise throttle feel, built-in
Low-Voltage detection, and Traxxas' exclusive Training Mode. Only
Traxxas makes brushless power so easy, fast, and fun.
