Hey everyone and Happy Thursday! This post is a bittersweet one, as it’s going to be my last regular weekly blog for the site. For the past 11 years I’ve written a weekly blog post for BSRC. Whether it was under the “Everybody’s Scalin’ For the Weekend” or “Monster Truck Madness” title, I think I can count on one hand the amount [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! So Cross R/C announced a product that’s a bit out of left field, but one that I’m VERY excited for- an r/c farm tractor! The Cross R/C Ironbull TL4 Tractor. The photo above is from the Cross RC Facebook page, and you can find a video announcing the tractor right here. Not a lot of info is out [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! It’s ya boy Doug here for another edition of MTM. Yes, I said last week would be the last regular of edition of MTM, but given I have irons still in the fire I figured I’ll keep it up through the end of August before discussing “what’s next”. P.S.- to give any long time readers out [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! It’s time for an announcement! This week is going to be my last regular weekly Monster Truck Madness post. Please note that I said “last regular” and not “last”! 10 years ago I was one of a group of friends that started up the Trigger King R/C Monster Truck Racing Series in St. Louis, MO. We started [...]
Hello everyone and happy Thursday to you all! Today is the first day of August, and that means that Summer is nearing its conclusion. I mean, I guess that’s positive thinking- here in the Midwest it’ll probably be hot for at least another two months, but hey, I can dream, right? Anyways, with the calendar inching towards Fall, I’m very much looking [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! Ya know, I’ve been racing solid axle retro monster trucks for 10 years now, and up until last weekend I had never won an actual race day event in that class. That finally changed last Sunday! And wouldn’t you know it, I wasn’t even driving my own truck, ha. I won the day’s Trigger King R/C Retro [...]
Hey everyone, Happy Thursday! Vintage re-releases are the hot topic as of late in the r/c industry, at least insofar as the racing community is concerned, what with all the classic buggies and stadium trucks being re-released (parts support around said vintage buggies is also a HUGE discussion, but that’s a can of worms I’m not opening here!). I was an r/c [...]
Hello everyone! Happy Thursday and Happy Independence Day to my fellow American readers! And what’s more American than a Sherman tank?The shot above is of my Heng Long M4A3 1/16 Sherman Tank Professional Edition! I still need to paint my drive sprockets/idler wheels and treads, but I went ahead and added the scale accessories and most of the decals! The tank [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! With Summer arriving here in the Midwest with 100+ degree temperatures, my r/c time over the past week has been spent primarily at the work bench. A few weeks back I picked a Traxxas TRX-4M High Trail with the purpose of customizing it to be a capable rig that I can easily pack away for some impromptu [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! I am still in recovery mode from the 2024 BIGFOOT Open House that took place last weekend. It was HOT, but it was a heck of a time! Thousands of monster truck fans made the trip out to Pacific, MO to enjoy a day of monster trucking in the sun. The BIGFOOT crew put on a great [...]

Hey everyone and Happy Thursday. Before getting to this week’s subject, I wanted to point out that those attending the June 15th BIGFOOT 4×4 Open House who plan to race r/c monster trucks should know I made an amendment to my info post from last week discussing the schedule- we start an hour earlier than I initially wrote. You can also [...]

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! As we head into the upcoming Memorial Weekend here in the States, I’ve got no coherent singular topic to focus on, but I do have a good deal of random things to discuss! First off, shout out to my friends and fellow monster truck racers Isaac Ankrom and Josh Rhodes for kicking ass at the R/C Monster [...]
