All you Pro-Line PRO-MT 4×4 owners love to go big. And not only that, you love to shoot video while going for that epic transition. To show off how gnarly the PRO-MT 4×4 is, the P-L crew has put together an Owners Compilation Video. Yes, we think you know what that means- there is some pretty insane content of PRO-MT [...]
When you start talking true 1/10+ size monster trucks, there is not an upgrade on the market that will be more noticeable than a quality steering servo. The bigger the tires get, the better of an upgrade this is. My criteria for judging whether a servo is good or not is fairly simple – can it turn the tires with ease [...]

The war at the top of bash mountain is beyond fierce. You’ve got large scale short course trucks, you’ve got massively over-powered 1/8 monster trucks, you’ve got low slung truggies that seem to be glued to the ground in the corners, etc. One of the trucks at the top for Losi is the LST 3XL-E from Horizon Hobby. The LST [...]
After reviewing a couple of other trucks from DHK, we finally got a shot at one of their 8th scalers.

After reviewing a couple of higher-end Team Redcat trucks, we discovered that Recat isn’t messing around. Their 1/8 monster truck and 1/10 Team Redcat SCT were both solid trucks, clearly capable of running with the best in their classes.
