Hey folks, this week in MTM I’m finally ready to do my mini-review of the Pro-Line Decimator 2.6″ Solid Axle Monster Truck Tire.

This review has been a long time coming folks. No, we aren’t talking about how we got a new set of Pro-Line Trencher HP 2.8″ Monster Truck Tires a few weeks ago and have been trying to burn their rubber off ever since. We are talking about how our hobby has long been waiting for monster truck tires that do [...]
Scale realism is truly taking over rc. At first it was the off-road guys with all their scale realistic rock crawlers, but now even the on-road game is getting the scale treatment. A good example of this is the new Fazer Mk2 1970 Dodge Charger from Kyosho. With the 1970 Dodge Charger, the Kyosho crew mated a highly scale realistic [...]

One of their latest bash-creations is the 1/10th scaled Kraton 4S BLX RTR Monster Truck. The new 4S version of the Kraton was designed for serious rc fun, while not breaking the [...]
Scale realism has taken over the rc world. Evidence of this can not only be seen in the rock crawling world, but also on-road. A great example of this is the Kyosho 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6. The Kyosho Chevelle comes with one of the best looking bodies that we’ve seen from Kyosho, plus it sits on the very basher-friendly [...]
The folks over at Traxxas know everyone that owns an RC vehicle is going to have to work on it at some point. To get the job done you are going to need tools, so they might as well be Traxxas Premium Tools. Want to know our thoughts on them? Keep reading… We have been working with the new [...]
Released just a few weeks ago, the Losi Ford Raptor Baja Rey King Shocks Edition RTR from Horizon Hobby has created quite a stir in the bashing community. The Ford Raptor has one of the most detailed bodies that we’ve seen from Losi, plus it comes on the highly capable Baja Rey platform. We’ve been pushing our test truck to [...]
The crew over at Kyosho know a thing or two about scale realism. Over the years, Kyosho has put out some impressive rigs that not only had great styling, but were also top notching while being driven. One of Kyosho’s newest on-road cars is a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat that is big on scale realism, but was also designed to [...]

We’ve been putting in pack after pack on the Axial to see just [...]
Our industry is changing, and doing so in a rapid fashion. RC enthusiasts, especially those in the scale crawling and bashing scenes, have been longing for a radio that is tough enough for their hardcore driving activities. With that said, the Spektrum crew over at Horizon Hobby has dropped the DX5 Rugged. Based on their DX5 platform, the engineers at Spektrum [...]
The most anticipated vehicle release from Redcat Racing of all time has to be the Gen8 International Scout II. When the Redcat Racing crew announced the upcoming release of the Gen8, the scale crawler world was taken back. Banking on the success of the Gen 7, Redcat listened to the fans and made substantial changes to the Gen8; and by [...]
Some rc cars are made to win world championships, others strictly for backyard fun. Kyosho has long been known for building rc vehicles for both the track and cul-de-sac, with their latest bash machine being the Rage 2.0. The original Rage was very well received by us, as well as many others, so for 2019 the Kyosho crew bolted up [...]
