Monster Truck Madness – Season’s End
Greetings all and Happy Thursday out there! Last weekend the Trigger King R/C Monster Truck Series finished out the 2022 season and it was probably the most perfect weather we’ve ever had for a day of r/c’ing. All sun and temps in the high 70’s. Hard to beat it! What was NOT hard to beat was me, on the race track. I’ve [...]

Monster Truck Madness – American Iron Boggin’
We are in the golden era of scale r/c so it takes a lot to wow me these days, but my jaw dropped when seeing the new Traxxas TRX-4 High Trail Edition. Good freakin’ grief, that square body Chevy body is GORGEOUS. All that chrome! Yes, the purist in me sees the portal axles under that classic GM iron and says HMMM, [...]
Monster Truck Madness – King Slingin’
Late last week the folks at Losi dropped a surprise out of the nowhere, a mega truck version of the LMT in officially licensed King Sling and Bog Hog liveries! This news set monster truck message boards alight over the weekend. This isn’t a case where the LMT platform just made a tire and body swap either- there are a good [...]

Monster Truck Madness – Clod Busted
Greetings all and Happy Thursday! This week I’m answering an e-mail that I received from reader Steve R. regarding the new limited edition Tamiya Super Clod Buster “Gray Edition” release. It’s a question that I would guess some of you are probably wondering about as well, even if you aren’t super well-versed in Clods. Hey Doug I had an original Clodbuster when I [...]
Monster Truck Madness – Hammer Time
Happy Thursday, folks! The weekend is so close you can almost taste it. Last week the gang at RC4WD announced their Iron Hammer 1/8 Steel Monster Truck Chassis. The Iron Hammer is aptly named, as it’s a big ‘ol chunk of metal. The chassis features 3 lbs of welded steel tubing! It’s a burly piece of kit that would seem to be [...]
Monster Truck Madness – Buy or Sell?
There’s a saying with boaters- the two best days of a boat owner’s life are the day he buys it and day he sells it. It’s a funny saying and while I’m not a boat guy, I can at least empathize! I buy and sell a lot of things in regards to my hobbies. Guitars, garden tractors and, yes of course, [...]
Monster Truck Madness – The King of Wheelies
Hello gang and Happy Thursday to you! This week I’m answering a question(s) that involves the HPI Wheely King. Back in the dark ages when solid axle monster trucks were few and far between, the Wheely King became a favorite of many a monster truck obsessed-hobbyist and is looked back upon fondly with nostalgia. For me personally, the little 1/12 monster [...]
