Default GBX2...
What do you think, Jimmy?

Everything old is new again, huh? Belt drive (A&L did it 15 years ago), monococque chassis (most molded chassis ARE already), blah, blah, blah. Gabe is kind of a big mouth, but I'm glad to see some new cars coming down the pipeline. I wonder what connection BK really has to this project. If it's his, why not call the car BKX2?

I wonder if it's a lot of hot air?

BTW, the belt drives we ran in the late 80s had too much drag to be fast in a 2wd car. I wonder if they are going to use something new-tech with the belts available today. They were quiet, but not as fast as a gear driven box.

Good points. GB has a bad rep wherever he goes. I wonder how he gets away with stuff like this.

Seems to me great grounds for a lawsuit, huh?

Gabe released some pictures of the car, yes it is a scam as the car was a xx 2wd car with text placed on the picture saying:

'Ha Ha Made you look'

hes lost his deal with tekin over this ordeal, and i imagine theres more behind the scenes, or his padded room!!

Talking with Troy from rctech, it sounded like Ernie's lawyers intercepted things quickly. His "teamkinwald.net" forums were only visible for a day or two.


What a psychopath.

There was more to it than just his trash mouth going 60 to the dozen. On TTT he has been disowned by Ernie Provetti and I think anymore and they will unleash the wallet vampires (no, not kids, the lawyers).

The guy seriously needs sedatives and a couch doc. His 4th grade education is going to be great for his future, too.
