Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! Today, it’s time for my “mini” review of the Losi Mini LMT Monster Truck. The truck has been out several months now, but it’s taken a moment for me to get one in my hands. Let me talk about why that is. I’ll be straight with ya’ll, I have been pretty soured on “mini monster trucks” after [...]
Greetings all and Happy Thursday! It only took 4 months of dragging my feet to get it done, but my Tamiya Konghead 6×6 G6-01 is now finished! This truck isn’t exactly going to be a shelf Queen, as I intend to take it out to r/c monster truck events to play around with it….but it will indeed spend most of its life [...]
Hey everyone, Happy Thursday! Another week almost over, another week closer to winter being over and being able to get outside. Funny how every year seems to work the same for me. After monster truck racing season ends in October I need a bit to recover. I usually don’t have a ton of desire to work on r/c projects until we [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! For most of my “hobby life”, my time modeling has been spent with r/c vehicles. Not so much on scale static models. Sure, I’ve done a few military vehicles, cars, and monster trucks over the years…but I wouldn’t say I’m a modeler. The more I got into scale r/c the last decade, the more that traditional modeling [...]
Happy Thanksgiving all! I’m writing the Thursday Monster Truck Madness from the kitchen this week. The stuffing is in the oven and cranberry sauce is made and sitting in the fridge, so my two responsibilities for the day are done! I’ve gotten big into building 1:25 scale models recently (I will talk about this next week, it’s monster truck related!) and knowing [...]
Good day everyone and Happy Thursday- we’re almost to the weekend! Over the last month or so I feel like I’ve not pulled very much trigger, save for a single monster truck race day, but I feel about as busy as ever due to constantly working on various projects. The one I’m focused on finished first is my RC4WD K10 Scottsdale [...]
Hey folks, Happy Thursday! This week I wanted to talk about the new shoes I got for my RC4WD K10 Scottsdale! While I think the included wheels and tires are very sharp, I wanted my truck to have more of that old school 35″ tires on 15″ wheels look than what it came with. After some poking around online I ordered a [...]
Hey gang and Happy Thursday! The RC4WD K10 Scottsdale that I ordered arrived late last week (thank you Remote Control Hobbies of Orlando!) and I’ve had a few days to paw it over. Like seemingly everyone else on the Internet who has one of these puppies, I’m impressed with it. This is the first time I’ve had a LWB Trail Finder 2 [...]
Hey gang, Happy Thursday to you! I feel like over the past calendar year I’ve written a lot about mud trucks. Around this time last year the original Traxxas TRX-4 High Trail was announced and released. I preordered one and had a blast with it. Just a couple weeks ago the gang at RC4WD announced the Scottsdale K10. They aren’t out [...]
What’s up everyone? Happy Thursday! It’s funny how the hobby works. A couple weeks ago due to being in the middle of moving houses and a variety of activities that all seemed to hit at once, I was ready to write about how I was dealing with burn-out and was perhaps on the verge of needing to take a break from [...]
Hey guys and Happy Thursday! Last weekend the BIGFOOT 4×4 monster truck team held their annual Open House at their home base in Pacific, MO, and it was a freakin’ blast! First off, longtime friend of Big Squid RC, Adam Rogers, put on his second annual RC Bash the night before the Open House. Held at a hotel near the BIGFOOT shop, [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! I just had my first monster truck racing weekend of 2023 and got to get my fleet dirty! I want to focus on my LMT’s here, though. Both are quite a bit different from each other given they are the same platform, but both trucks are my two favorite r/c’s that I currently own. Let’s start with [...]
Hey guys and Happy Thursday! Just a slow news day in the r/c monster truck world, eh? In case you missed it, Losi announced a limited edition TLR Tuned LMT. The main specs that differentiate from the RTR version, save for the obvious that this is a builder’s kit that needs electronics and tires to be completed- – Carbon Fiber Chassis Plates – TLR [...]
Hello everyone and a Happy 2023 to you! I wound up spending the last two weeks at home, and given it’s been a long time since I’ve done that I had totally forgotten how time kind of just ceases to be and all days roll into one while on a long holiday break. It was nice getting back to the normal [...]
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 [...]
