Greetings all and welcome to The Backyard! A couple weeks back I took part in the annual BIGFOOT 4×4 Open House r/c race, and it came up on me so fast that I didn’t really write about any of my own personal r/c monster trucks that I competed with! I raced my Rotten Ol’ Apple Retro Clod Buster and my Rotten Apple [...]
Greetings all, Happy Friday and welcome to The Backyard! Earlier this week, the folks at Team Losi Racing unveiled their latest 2WD buggy, the 1/10 22 5.0 – released in two different configurations – one for Dirt/Clay and the other for Astroturf/Carpet. This is great news. I’m happy to see that despite some of parent company Horizon Hobby’s recent issues, Team Losi [...]
Greetings all! Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend a Horizon Hobby Factory Tour stop, which took place at my local hobby shop- Mark Twain Hobby Center in St. Charles, MO. It was a lot of fun! The Horizon team had various vehicles on hand for hobbyists to try, and it was a great opportunity for both seasoned or prospective [...]

Greetings all and a Happy Friday to you! Welcome to The Backyard. I really appreciate running this post every Friday, because Thursday is the day that the hobby industry drops most of its news. And this week did not disappoint! Out of nowhere, the Losi 22S Sprint Car was announced! Losi 22S Sprint Car was announced! This is both a surprising announcement but [...]
Hey everyone! Last week I wound up getting busy and missed my usual Monster Truck Madness post, so I’m posting twice this week to make up for it! I wanted to change subjects for this extra post to talk a little circle track racing- in particular the Losi 1/12 NASCAR RTR that made massive waves upon its announcement last week! While [...]

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! Today, it’s time for my “mini” review of the Losi Mini LMT Monster Truck. The truck has been out several months now, but it’s taken a moment for me to get one in my hands. Let me talk about why that is. I’ll be straight with ya’ll, I have been pretty soured on “mini monster trucks” after [...]
Over at Losi they have uploaded a new King of Hammers – RC Car vs Real U4 Car video. The video shows a full scale U4 going hard in the rocks against the Losi Hammer Rey rc car. Needless to say, it’s quite the interesting video with the two going over the same trails on the ultra-tough King of Hammers [...]

Hey guys and Happy Friday! Today’s MTM is coming out a day late, and it’s because I tried writing something about monster trucks but it was impossible to not be swept up in the Losi Promoto-MX Motorcyle hoopla, so the heck with it. Let’s talk about the bike. Dirt bikes rule. While my own personal 1:1 riding days ended, oh, probably [...]
Hey folks and Happy Thursday! Well, last weekend it finally was time to re-power my new TLR tuned LMT. I got five to six years of use out of my Graupner brushless system, but it finally starting acting up. It was time to go shopping! It’s been awhile since I’ve had a new Castle system so after doing a bit of research, [...]
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 [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! I just had my first monster truck racing weekend of 2023 and got to get my fleet dirty! I want to focus on my LMT’s here, though. Both are quite a bit different from each other given they are the same platform, but both trucks are my two favorite r/c’s that I currently own. Let’s start with [...]
