Last week the world wide web was set ablaze by Ken Block and his latest instalment of Gymkhana 5. Well this week we have more news on the Gymkhana front. It seems Ken Block has jumped ship from Traxxas and landed over at HPI. Now some of you may remember my past, post-Christmas article of Ken Blocks Traxxas Ford Fiesta, if not it's here.
Now for those whom are unfamiliar with the world of RC cars, Traxxas and HPI share a rivalry similar to the one between Coke and Pepsi. So when a big name like Ken Block leaves Traxxas for HPI, rest assured amongst all the rumours there are going to be a few jaws hitting the floor.
But enough with all this pre-amble lets get on to the good stuff...
Like always I'll have the specifications at the end.
