Politically incorrect? Come on.....we need to grow thicker skin and remove hearts from our sleeves if that insults anyone.
Rate it up there with the FUBAR gyro.
I'd actually be insulted if it had HK on it !

I'm not insulted, too many people out there these days wanting to be a victim.

I just think it's funny..... funny that they would name an ESC that.

What's wrong with that - it's not an insult nor is it intended as one. If I had that much hair I'd be thrilled.

Now, if they bring out an ESC called BaldingGuyinhis50'sstrugglingtobuttonuphispants-30 I might take issue..
