It’s that time of year again, you know what I am talking about, project season! For all of us in the northern parts of the world winter time means it’s time to start the projects we have been thinking about all summer. And with some amazing products coming out like the Axial SCX10II kit or the RC4WD Desert Runner, we scalers [...]
Hello everybody and welcome to this weeks’ Everybody’s Scalin’! I know I’m not the only one who freaked out when RC4WD announced the new Desert Runner Scale truck with Hero body set. A few months ago a hand full of pictures were floating around of the Desert Hero. I checked them out and I thought it would be a phenomenal [...]
What’s up everybody, what a crazy week it has been! Last Sunday I had the Big Squid crew over for some RC shenanigans. Our man Thomas is state side from Germany and he wanted to check out the off-road park. For about two weeks I was story boarding a RC film in my head we could do while he was [...]
If you build it they will come. That statement is 100% true no matter how big or small the course is. You will always have people willing and wanting to come over and play or even give you a hand in building. I will be the first to admit I can be kind of stubborn when it comes to building [...]
What’s going on everybody! Theres’ couple things I want to go over in this weeks Everybody Scalin’. First and for most we Just received a new Axial SCX 10 II 1969 Chevrolet Blazer from Axial Racing. We have some pretty big plans in the scale shop for this little beauty. For starters, the new hardtop Axial released for the 1969 [...]
Run for it Marty! I think you know where I’m going with this one. In 1985 Back to the Future was released and we know the DeLorean might as well play a leading role in the movie. But there is another vehicle in the first film that has maybe two minutes of screen time but yet still became a recognizable movie [...]
Picking the right time of day to go out trailing or crawling can impact your experience in multiple ways. I for one prefer going early in the morning. The way I see it is that it’s no different than someone waking up at four in the morning to go hunting or fishing but instead of grabbing a tacklebox or rifle [...]
Race day brings out so many emotions in everybody. Excitement, nervousness, anxiousness, joy and even sadness. It’s exciting to see how your car will handle after weeks of preparation and tuning. Nervousness of the unknown, whether it be how you’re going to place, will your car make it through the race, or will you have a mechanical failure. Anxiously waiting [...]
What’s going on everybody? Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend, I know I did! Whenever I have longer than normal time off the gears in my head usually start turning. This past holiday weekend was no different. I worked out a deal for a RC4WD Trail Finder 2 that has the Blazer body. If any of you follow my [...]
In the world of on-road RC racing the VTA class is definitely one of my favorites. The vehicles used for the VTA class remind me a lot of old school NASCAR’s. Nowadays if you see a Nascar without the stickers on it, it would be hard to tell what model it is. But back in the day there was no [...]
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? The Batmobile is the most iconic superhero vehicle on the planet. The 1966 Batmobile really started it all. Fast forward to 1989, which in my opinion, is the best looking Batmobile ever made, the Michael Keaton Batmobile. Next, in 1995 we had the Val Kilmer Batman Forever Batmobile. The [...]
Last Sunday I attended a G6 event that the Martucky Rc crew put on in Marseilles Illinois. I have done competitions before but I have to say, G6 comps are my favorite. Unlike regular crawler comps, a G6 is more spread out, more like a trail run. The boys from the Martucky crew did a fantastic job setting up the [...]
Anytime I do research on buying a new rig I always go to YouTube and watch some videos of them in action. Pictures are great and all but to get a true sense of how the vehicle will actually handle you have to see a video. Not to mention, it’s a great bathroom past time. When I am filming for [...]
I always like to see when people mirror their 1:10 vehicles to look like their 1.1 vehicles. This Everybody’s Scalin’ Spotlight is all about that. Straight out of Plano Texas, Lane Muropa has achieved the scale mirror trick with his Volkswagen Beetle. Whenever I see an old Beetle or Punch Buggie I always think of Herbie the Love Bug. But [...]
Last Friday night I was doing some window shopping on Facebook marketplace; I have a tendency to do this a lot. Even when I’m not in the market for a new vehicle I still like seeing what’s out there for sale. Five minutes into my search I found a Tamiya Globeliner for a very reasonable price. I have always thought [...]
