It’s crazy that just the other day it felt like I was preparing my trucks for the first event of 2023. Even crazier than that, it feels like it wasn’t too long ago that we [...]

Monster Truck Madness – Freshening Up Rotten Apple

You know, I’ve been running the Rotten Apple name on my r/c monster trucks for a long time now. Back in 2016 when the Axial SMT10 came out, I wanted to ditch the Grave Digger RTR body because I much preferred coming up with my own identities.

Monster Truck Madness – Reenacting Road House

Road House is one of the best ’80s movies. Featuring an in-his-prime Patrick Swayze as a tough bouncer, a gruff Sam Elliott as his mentor, a smokin’ Kelly Lynch as the town Doctor, Ben Gazzara as the evil town business magnate, and a host of other cast members that even includes legendary pro wrestler Terry Funk, it’s hard to find [...]

Monster Truck Madness – Great to get back at it

Hello gang, happy Thursday! Last weekend I took part in my first solid axle monster truck race in four months- an eternity for me! I went racing at the Childress RC Racing event in Sullivan, MO. The racing surface was both on carpet and a relatively slick indoor tile floor. You’d go from 100% grip on carpet to the, well, less than [...]
