Hey everyone and Happy Friday! This week I wanted to share the project I’ve been spending the last couple months on. I finally took the plunge into large scale r/c with an Axial SCX6 Honcho! This is something I had been wanting to do ever since the Honcho version of the SCX6 was announced. Despite being involved in the hobby for over [...]
Happy Thursday all! In case you missed it, last week I posted my thoughts on the Losi Mini LMT. I liked it quite a lot. As a lifelong, card carrying BIGFOOT fan, that Grave Digger body wasn’t gonna work for me though. I’m only half serious here- I’m someone who HAS to put their own style of body on an r/c truck, [...]
Hello everyone and a hearty “Happy Thursday” to you! Last week I celebrated my 40th birthday, and the main gift that my fiancee got me was a new roll around toolbox/workstation for my r/c and scale modeling! In Rotten Apple colors, no less!It’s really nice because whereas I had one dedicated work bench for my hobby stuff before, now it’s expanded [...]
Greetings all and Happy Thursday! Before we get going this week, a big “congrats” to fellow Squid Jeremy on opening his own hobby shop, Juicebox Hobbies. Make sure to give his page a like/follow! I’m sad that I don’t live closer to partake in that sweet oval track he’s building! Good luck with this endeavor bro! In other news, I have finally [...]
Hey folks and Happy Thursday! Last week I wrote about updating my Rotten Apple paint scheme and it’s now finished so I wanted to share it here! The body I’m using is a JConcepts ’97 F-150, which works with the looooooong wheelbase of the TLR LMT. I trimmed a little extra out of the fenders and rounded the front by the bumper [...]
You know, I’ve been running the Rotten Apple name on my r/c monster trucks for a long time now. Back in 2016 when the Axial SMT10 came out, I wanted to ditch the Grave Digger RTR body because I much preferred coming up with my own identities. Given the truck had a neon green chassis, I tried to figure out something [...]
They say go big or go home. On my LMT which, by the way is our original review test unit, I’ve decided to go big. I’ve been talking about my LMT a lot in recent weeks, whether painting the body or getting the parts together to upgrade it. You can read some of my past write-ups here. Alright, time to get [...]
Hey guys, been a minute since I’ve done a no prep update for the Traxxas Bandit/Slash conversion, but I finally do have one! I just received my freshly painted lid from Sutton Motorsports. As usual, Travis did a great job! This is a JConcepts Chevy Nova II (the one piece version) painted up in black and green, similar to my Rotten Apple [...]
Boy howdy, it’s been a fun few weeks bashing my new Traxxas X-Maxx 8S. I probably should back up first, as I haven’t even made a post here that I had gotten one. I am usually better about posting an unboxing, plans, blah blah. In the case of the X-Maxx, ever since bashing one hardcore about a month ago, I knew I [...]
Hey gang before we get into this week’s MTM, I want to give a big shout out to all the solid axle monster truckers located in the So-Cal region of the country. My friends at the So Cal RC Monster Truck Series are holding their big Winter Finals on December 7th at Hot Rod Hobbies. For more info, check ’em [...]
Hey all, I’m back this week with a *gasp* finished project! Forgive me for going out of order here as this week I meant to originally discuss how to replace the stock four wheel steering system on a stock Clod Buster with something that actual works like it should, but after building Rotten Ol’ Apple (the truck that was to [...]
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! 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! 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! 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 [...]
