I just love when RC companies do teasers of upcoming rigs or events. So when I started to see RC4WD teasing about something last week on their Instagram I was very intrigued. Having to wait those hand full of days is never easy. I am a very impatient person so once Wednesday arrived and RC4WD went live on their Facebook [...]
Unbelievable! In a good way. The great folks at RC4WD sent us some goodies including a Trailfinder 2 kit.

I have been really looking forward to doing this RC4WD [...]

Well, I can honestly say I am in full build mode. In total I have about seven builds I want to have done by fall. Sounds like a lot, but in reality I have most of the stuff I need. There is more to a scale build then just painting a body or adding some scale items on to your [...]
For what seemed like years of searching I’ve finally got my hands on the Proline 1983 Dodge Ramcharger body! This would have never happened if it wasn’t for my buddy. He as about 3 Proline Ramcharger bodies, mainly because he is a huge fan of the old Dodges. And I think he finally got sick of me bugging him for [...]

I had the pleasure of meeting the President of Pit Bull Tires, Michael Green. And I can honestly say he is a really cool guy. We talked about tiny trucks and also some civil war history, which is one of my favorite historical subjects. He then sent me home with some awesome stuff that I couldn’t wait to check out. I [...]

Here we go folks, Capo Racing is now teasing a next level Scale Dash with a crazy LED Screen. The dash itself looks on-point, but the real head turner is a screen on the dash that is capable of showing video! As you can see in the video below, the screen does a great job of showing the animated Capo [...]
What’s up everybody, with USTE 19 only 7 days away I figured it would be a good time to reveal my latest build. I would actually call it more of a theme build and not a full-blown build. During those few days of brutal cold weather I found myself binge watching Baywatch. Now, back in its hay day Baywatch was [...]
So a very interesting debt popped up the other day on one of the many Facebook pages I am in. The post was simple, some one asking to see pics of Trail rigs and Crawlers. And throughout the post I could see a lot of people have different views on what’s a trail rig and what’s a Crawler. Me personally [...]
