What is going on everyone hope you all had a great week and are getting ready to do some Scalin’ this weekend. For me I have been fighting a nasty cold my little boy decided to bring home with him from daycare. And just to clarify it is a cold and not the Rona, but it has still kicked my [...]
Hey all, it’s ya boy Doug, coming at you hot and heavy with another dose of LMT talk. After a lot of discussion, my monster truck club Trigger King R/C has come up with a set of rules for a Losi LMT Spec Class. We will be running it all summer long. The rules we’ve come up with are as follows: The [...]
Our road to the Ultimate Scale truck Expo has grown every year since we have been attending. USTE 2021 will be our 3rd year at the event and we plan on making it our best one yet! Just like everyone else we have a serious case of Event fever and can not wait to get out and play. The first [...]
The Losi LMT is here. Many of you already have one or have one on the way. With the truck finally out in the wild, I can now discuss something that I’ve been dying to talk about. Where does the Losi LMT fit in to the r/c monster truck racing eco-system? Speaking as someone who is a race director for a [...]
Hello and welcome to this week’s Everybody’s Scalin’. It has been super busy in the scale shop with multiple projects going on. With that being said, I think its time for a little shop talk.First up is the Gmade Buffalo, this build was a lot of fun and everything went together smooth. I am immensely proud of how well the [...]
Happy Losi LMT release week, folks! That’s right, this week the LMT is shipping to hobby shops or directly to you if you pre-ordered! I know the wait was hard for many, especially given that it didn’t ship in time for Christmas, but hey- what a way to start off the new year, right?! The word on the street is that [...]
Hey gang, happy New Year’s Eve edition of MTM! Last week I talked about three things I selfishly “wanted” to see in 2021 from the r/c monster truck hobby. This week I’m going to talk about three things that I actually think will happen. I think the first thing we should note is that the hobby had a fantastic year in [...]
Hey gang, happy holidays! I wanna wind down the last two weeks of 2020 with two lists- this week things I WANT to see in this segment of the hobby in 2021, and next week some actual predictions of what I think WILL happen. Both are quite different! So, without further adieu, here are 3 things I’d personally love to see [...]
Christmas has come to the Scale shop a little early this year thanks to DSM Off-Road! DSM Off-Road sent over a few goodies along with some new items for the Element Gatekeeper. So, grab your favorite holiday snack, and sit back while I tell you this Everybody’s Scalin’ Christmas Tales.I have always liked the Kinetic Recovery Gear from DSM Off-Road [...]
Hey gang and happy holidays! You know, for those of us that do rattle can paint jobs there is often a misconception that you are limited in palette by the available cans of paint versus the crazy amount of stuff out there for airbrushes, where it’s common to mix paints and pigments and create all sorts of crazy stuff. You can still [...]
Hey gang, it’s that time of year again to give (or receive!) the gift of r/c! This section of the internet focuses pretty much on the hardcore monster truck crowd, so I’m going to dial it back a notch and give a recommendation for the total noob in your life this holiday season. Many hobbyists, especially those who are younger, start [...]
December is upon us and you know what that means, new RC season! For those who still have not decided on what to put on their Christmas list I have a few suggestions that might help. And After the Year we have had I think everyone needs to treat them selves to some RC goodies. Weather it is a new [...]
With the Losi LMT about to be released to the masses in early 2021, methinks that that, combined with (hopefully) large gatherings being allowed again by the time weather starts to warm, we are headed towards a banner year for solid axle monster truck racing. I feel like whether it’s this platform or the Trigger King YouTube channel, I’m pretty in [...]
Hey guys, been a minute since I’ve done a no prep update for the Traxxas Bandit/Slash conversion, but I finally do have one! I just received my freshly painted lid from Sutton Motorsports. As usual, Travis did a great job! This is a JConcepts Chevy Nova II (the one piece version) painted up in black and green, similar to my Rotten Apple [...]
Hello everyone hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Last night while laying on the couch in a paralyzed state due to the amount of food I consumed I was watching some videos on YouTube and stumbled across two channels that grabbed my attention. The first video comes from Obier RC, the film is very cinematic and well shot. The TRX-4 [...]
