Hey gang, as 2021 comes to close, I wanted to share some absolutely stunning BIGFOOT replica monster trucks with you, built by my friend @TEAM_BIG_GUNZ_RACING on Instagram. These are his words-I’ve always admired the way Bigfoot #3 looked. To me, that is the best looking monster truck ever and I still feel the same way about that truck even till [...]
Hey folks, before I get to anything else- a very happy holidays to you and your family! It’s kind of crazy that as I write this, on Christmas Eve Eve, it’s 70 degrees and sunny in St. Louis….but I’ll take it! As I prepare for a weekend of lounging around with eggnog, I figured I’d answer a couple e-mails- Hey Doug, Longtime reader [...]
Hello everyone! Maybe you’ve heard about how folks are building 1/24 scale mini solid axle monster trucks by combining Axial SCX24 running gear with a purpose built chassis and model tires? Well, I’ve got one built, I’ve got a FULL parts list, and I’ve run it. If you’re wondering whether you should build one or not, have a read! I want [...]
Heya guys, welcome to the Thursday Monster Truck Madness! Yes, once upon a time I ran this on Wednesday, but I think it’s slid to Thursday now for a year or more, so probably safe to say it’s now officially a Thursday thing, lol. Hey, lookey here! I have the Tiny Titan mini-monster truck nearly complete! Oh yes, finally! Apologies for [...]
I dunno about you all, but this time of year I always get nostalgic for slot cars. Some of my favorite Christmas presents back in the day were slot car sets. Heck, in recent years I even flirted with the new high-tech digital tracks (very fun!) by buying a layout. So imagine how cool it was to hear of the amazing [...]
Hello gang, and a very Happy Thanksgiving to those of you reading in the US! Due to the holiday season going full swing, I’m seeing e-mails and discussion on the monster truck group pages where prospective r/c monster truckers are asking which Grave Digger they should buy, either for themselves or (as most of the discourse I’ve personally seen) as a [...]
Greetings gang, and welcome to the last “pre-holiday season” MTM! I use the quotes because these days, holiday season starts November 1st and NOT on the day after Thanksgiving as in years past! (and side-note, for those looking to shop early, today was a heck of a day with two big releases in the hobby!). Last year at this time I [...]
Hey all, it’s ya boy coming in hot on another Thursday for Monster Truck Madness. I wanted to give you all some build impressions on my Tiny Titan as it’s pretty much finished. I say “pretty much” because I’m waiting on a set of motor mount screws that I didn’t order previously, and while I’m looking out the window for UPS, [...]
Hey everyone, this week on MTM we are going to feature a really cool build. Awhile back I did a brief highlight on my friend Matt Hall’s awesome Virginia Beach Beast monster tank replica build, but it wasn’t totally finished at the time. It is now! It’s a trick piece of kit. Here are some of the specifications on it –Chassis – [...]
Hello gang and Happy Thursday to you! That means it’s time for Monster Truck Madness. I’ve been on the road for a week, so sadly no update on my Tiny Titan build. I do hope to put it together this weekend, though! In the meantime, I’ve been sitting on a couple reader e-mails. Hey Doug, How goes it ? I have run into [...]
Howdy folks, and welcome to another MTM! I’ve been talking about building a 1/24 scale monster truck, and I’m happy to say all the parts have been ordered and everything is either in my hands OR on the way. For those wondering what exactly is needed for a 1/24 mini monster truck, I’m going to give you the full build list [...]
Hi guys, how ya’ll doing? Pretty big day in the hobby as Axial just announced a gigantic crawler, but in this neck of the woods we talk monster trucks. I’m a couple weeks late on discussion of this, but I want to talk about the new and updated HPI Savage that’s supposed to be coming out soon! Back when the nitro monster [...]
Hello friends! It’s ya boy, back with another week of MTM. So, the pic at the top of page. Yep. Some of you know what’s about to go down next. I’m about to build a 1/24 solid axle monster truck! I’ve mentioned them several times now, but to do it once more – a lot of folks are building baby solid axle [...]
Whew, what a time! Last weekend was the annual BIGFOOT 4×4 Open House in Pacific, MO and it was an absolute blast. Here’s some odds and ends on the weekend that was. The weather was amazing. Right around 80 degrees with complete sunshine. Open House is usually rainy or scorching hot, so this was perfect. There was A LOT of BIGFOOT iron [...]

For those that aren’t familiar, the BIGFOOT team has been holding an Open House for over a decade now. What started as a fun experiment to see if people would dig it as has turned [...]
