Greetings gang, and happy Thursday. As someone who is heavily involved with racing solid axle monster trucks, watching the Losi LMT become integrated into the scene has been fascinating. My club, Trigger King, put together a “Losi LMT Spec Class” to run for 2021. Other organizations throughout the US have been running similar classes with similar rules, all with the goal to [...]
Greetings, everyone! This week I’m bringing you an amazing build. Mike Bufka recently brought his incredible BIGFOOT #18 inspired “Mr. Bill” r/c monster truck to a Trigger King event, and I had to show ya’ll. The world of scale r/c and solid axle monster trucks are constantly blending together which results in some truly righteous projects. This is one of them. Mike [...]
Greetings gang, today I come to you with a hybrid column. A little bit of monster trucks, a little bit of drag cars. I am very caught up in the no-prep drag scene that’s exploded. Last year I built a Traxxas drag Bandit/Slash, but I’ve had eyes on the sweet Losi 22S ever since it was announced earlier this year (and [...]
Folks, it has taken me 3 months of competition but I have FINALLY got the tune-up I like on my Losi LMT. So many of you folks have asked about this via e-mail or via YouTube comments on the Trigger King page that I was getting very frustrated in not having an answer. Well, also the fact it was driving [...]
Hey guys, happy Thursday! It’s a race weekend for me and I’m still trying to figure out how to tune the diffs on my Losi LMT. It’s fantastic that it’s highly tunable, but chasing that mythical race winning tune-up has been elusive. What’s caused it to be so tricky is that I’m racing this vehicle in a Spec Class where we have [...]
Hello monster truck faithful and welcome to another week of MTM. I’m excited as this week I get to take in a full scale monster truck show as the Monster Jam tour heads to St. Louis, MO. It’s going to be really nice to take in a full-on stadium show, especially after a year of not being able to attend anything. [...]
Hey gang, happy Thursday to you. This week in Monster Truck Madness I want to tackle an e-mail about scale monster jam style obstacles, as well as address a very funny gaffe. My LHS received an order of the Losi LMT’s last week and I am proud to finally join your ranks in wheeling a solid axle monster truck. While it’s [...]
Hey all, hope the week is treating you well! Today I wanna talk about the JConcepts Regulator Clod Buster that I’ve been racing for the 2021 season. This truck was built by one of my best friends, Chris Blank (aka Claude Buster, his pen name for helping with BSRC reviews). He was kind enough to drop close to 1k on this truck [...]
Greetings, all! I spent the last weekend racing monster trucks, and what a weekend it was. At the Trigger King R/C Summer Event #2 we had some 100+ monster trucks show up. So much fun! I’m still recovering. Sun burn, broken parts, scrambled brain- you know the drill! Sooooo, something more rambly instead of coherent this week. I plan to follow-up on [...]
Had some good e-mails in the queue, so this week I wanna catch up on them here. Hey Doug, I read your articles on Big Squid and follow your Trigger King Youtube page and enjoy all of it. I have an SMT10 that I use for bashing and I’m having some trouble finding some info on wheelies. I have the updated 2020 [...]
Hey guys, more Losi LMT talk comin’ at you this week. Before that, in case you missed it I recently posted a review the LMT specific Pro-Line Demolisher Monster Truck Tires. Check it out if you haven’t! So I FINALLY got to get in some competition time on my LMT. During the same race day I was also wheeling old school [...]
After the longest winter, I finally had the chance to hit the track with my Losi LMT! I was at the season opening Trigger King R/C Monster Truck Series event in Waterloo, IL, and the LMT was out in force. I’ll talk more about the competition experience next week, as right now I want to give my impressions on the Pro-Line [...]
This weekend my monster truck racing club FINALLY kicks off the 2021 outdoor season! I am pumped. It’s been a long winter for me. One of the longest of my life. I’ve spent the last week getting my race fleet prepped, with the biggest changes being in my Sport Modified Class rigs. This is the class where you must used a [...]
I’m one of those people that constantly wishes I could get off of Facebook because I absolutely hate reading crazy political conspiracies posted shared by someone’s uncle, but I also know I’ll never be able to get off it since they effectively replaced message boards with their group pages many years ago. Whether it’s a classic pulling group where someone [...]
Greetings all, with the weather turning I’m excited to FINALLY get to prepare to get back to solid axle monster truck racing outdoors! My club, Trigger King, has completed putting together our 2021 schedule. The pic above shows the dates we are running. We broadcast all of our events on YouTube and I would love to see some of you come [...]
