Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! I was hoping to discuss my new Losi Mini LMT this week, but it won’t arrive until after this posts. As the great Tom Petty said, “The waiting is the hardest part.” I suppose the good news is that it’ll give me a full week to drive mine and get a feel for it, so barring some [...]
Hey everyone, hope you’re in the middle of some very happy holidays! It’s time for one of my favorite blogs of the year- looking back at my predictions for the r/c monster truck space for the now-previous year and seeing what I got right and what I got wrong. I’ll go over my four main bullets below, but you can read [...]
Hello folks, you’ve made it to Thursday and another Monster Truck Madness! The Trigger King monster truck club that I race with recently held their second outdoor race of the season, and I was able to get even more trigger time in with my TLR tuned Losi LMT. Not only that, but several of the trucks were in competition across various [...]
Hey folks and Happy Friday! Little bit of an expected topic this week, but with Duratrax annoucing Clip-Lock Wheel Faces for Ripper 2.8″ Wheels, I wanted to talk about my love of beadlock rings for monster trucks. Beadlock rings, whether real or faux, are one of my favorite accessories to add to any monster truck to really help set off the look. [...]
Hello everyone, happy Thursday! My 2022 racing season starts off this upcoming weekend, and my Losi LMT is in the shop for one last set of upgrades before hitting the track! The stock battery tray sits very high at the rear of the vehicle. BowHouse RC makes an LCG battery tray to rectify this issue. Since I’d be lowering the battery box, I [...]
Hello everyone. I have started to attempt my first ever r/c airbrush job, and I’d like to share with you all how it’s going. I am painting a JConcepts ’89 Ford for my Losi LMT. I started by doing all of the normal stuff- trimming the body, reaming the holes and mounting it BEFORE paint, and then giving it a wash [...]
Last week I gave a signal boost to several of the solid axle monster truck communities’ small, specialized companies. It seemed to resonate with a good number of folks, so I’m back with a part 2!So Cal Monster Trucks The folks at SCMT offer various products for the solid axle community, but their flagship offering is the Warpath chassis and the [...]
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 [...]
Big shout out to fellow Squid Jeremy, our in-house scale expert, for building a beautiful BIGFOOT #8 replica complete with a scale driver. Check out his column on it! So for this week it’s gonna be my first (and probably not the last) dual column where I’m going to combine Monster Truck Madness and Laying Rubber into one. I didn’t know [...]
One thing (at least) you got to give Doug – the Monster Truck guy – and that is that he is very, very productive. That dude is producing solid axle monster trucks at an incredible rate! Clod this, clod that, all of them really good looking and most of them green. I wish I could spit out drifters at just [...]
Hey folks, the column is going to be super short this week as I am dealing with a family situation. I haven’t missed a weekly MTM post since starting it a few years back though, so I’d rather make a short one versus not one at all! The picture above is what is currently awaiting me on my build bench. A [...]
