Whether you have a Clod or shaft truck, differential preference seems to be the super important subject that no one really talks about. It’s just not as sexy as discussing, say, brushless options or what tires to use. Locked, open, one axle locked and the other open, limited slip…so many choices! Before getting into the r/c discussion, let’s talk about how [...]
One is not a true monster trucker until they experience the taste of burnt rubber, at least once, by way of cutting/shaving a set of tires. Monster truck tire cutting is an art that dates back to the late 80’s, but it came into vogue during the early 90’s when modern racing began. The then-standard 66″ flotation tires that companies like Goodyear [...]
Heya folks. Doug here. I write the Everybody’s Scalin’ series that runs Friday afternoons. Now I’m writing this as well! Yes, that’s right, I’ve finally begged and pleaded enough for the brass to let me have a regular monster truck column. I love scaling, but monster trucks have always been the thing closest to my heart. I’ve been hardcore into them [...]

Hey everyone! Last week I wound up getting busy and missed my usual Monster Truck Madness post, so I’m posting twice this week to make up for it! I wanted to change subjects for this extra post to talk a little circle track racing- in particular the Losi 1/12 NASCAR RTR that made massive waves upon its announcement last week! While [...]
Hey everyone, what’s up? Happy Thursday! Today we aren’t exactly talking monster trucks, but we are talking about a truck that is monstrous! So last year I decided to get a Tamiya Globe Liner semi truck to convert to an off-highway log hauler. Well, as I found out the Tamiya really wasn’t the tool for the job. I went wheeling with some [...]

Greetings, o ye of the monster truck faith! This weeks Monster Truck Madness is a day early and a tad different, as I have an event report for you versus the standard blog post.

After coming off some slow summer months, everyone is now ramping up for the Christmas sales season. The holiday sales season is famous for being a make it, or break it, time of year in [...]
Hello dear reader, it’s your old pal Doug. You may remember me from posting under the Everybody’s Scalin’ For the Weekend blog years ago, or more recently (up until a month ago) the weekly Monster Truck Madness post! At the end of August, I said my goodbye. It took me about a week of twiddling my thumbs (perhaps to be more [...]
Hey all, Monster Truck Madness is taking an off week, as over the weekend the race I was to attend was rained out, therefore scuttling my subject matter plans. I used the rain-out to finally get my Losi 22S Drag Car Roller a’movin’, though. Before getting to what I put in it, I have to say that the Losi is extremely impressive. [...]

It is no secret that the entire Crew at Big Squid RC are Bigfoot fans. Bigfoot to me is more than a monster truck, Hell I even had a Bigfoot power wheel so when I see Bigfoot it brings back fond childhood memories. Coming from a broken home there was one point where my toys were my escape from my [...]
Hey guys, it’s ya boy Doug. Regular BSRC readers will know me as “the monster truck guy” that writes the weekly Monster Truck Madness column. Don’t worry, that isn’t changing. What IS changing is that I am now going to be writing a semi-regular r/c drag racing column that chronicles my slow descent into THIS kind of madness as well! I’m [...]
