<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><small>Traxxas channels its inner 1/16-scale Ken Block - Click above to watch the video <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/23/ken-blocks-official-rc-gymkhana-car-arrives-just-in-time-for-ch/#continued">after the break</a></small></strong></em></div>
<br />
Master of the Gymkhanna (with a minor in marketing) <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ken+block">Ken Block</a> has teamed up with Traxxas to create a radio-controlled version of Block's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/10/video-43-fiestas-sweepstakes-kicks-off-with-excellent-nascar-vs/">#43 Ford Fiesta</a>. The 1/16-scale Fiesta is fitted with a brushless motor that turns all four wheels and sends the mini-Block car down your driveway at up to 30 miles per hour. If that's not enough juice to play out your dreams of winning a Gymkhana event, you can opt for another setup that features a new pinion gear, second NiMH battery and series connector. The additional hardware raises the top speed to over 50 mph.<br />
<br />
The car is currently <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=ken+block+traxxas&tbs=shop%3A1&aq=f" target="_blank">selling for around $300</a>. No word on whether that price includes replaceable fenders and other body panels... a necessity after the Ken Block RC car inevitably hits a tree. Check out a mini Gymkhanna-style video of the micro car in action <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/23/ken-blocks-official-rc-gymkhana-car-arrives-just-in-time-for-ch/#continued">after the break</a>... and, answering the last possible remaining question, proof that it will indeed blend.<br />
