Monster Truck Madness – E = mc Square Body

Hey folks, Happy Thursday! This week I wanted to talk about the new shoes I got for my RC4WD K10 Scottsdale! While I think the included wheels and tires are very sharp, I wanted my truck to have more of that old school 35″ tires on 15″ wheels look than what it came with. After some poking around online I ordered a [...]

Monster Truck Madness – With My Big Lunchbox

Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you all are making the most of early Autumn and partaking in what is usually some of the best weather for trigger time! Earlier this week the folks at Team Associated unveiled their MT12 Monster Van, a 1/12 RTR monster truck that looks VERY dope! The MT12 is no doubt paying homage to another famous 1/12 van, the [...]

Monster Truck Madness – Working on the Trucks

Happy Thursday everyone! While I haven’t been turning many wrenches the past week on my traditional monster trucks, I have been going at two “monsterous” truck projects! Last week I talked about my new RC4WD K10 Scottsdale and what I planned to do with it. Since then, my wheels, tires, and roll bar have all arrived! I’ve also picked up a JConcepts [...]

Monster Truck Madness – Repainting the RC4WD K10 Scottsdale?

Hey gang and Happy Thursday! The RC4WD K10 Scottsdale that I ordered arrived late last week (thank you Remote Control Hobbies of Orlando!) and I’ve had a few days to paw it over. Like seemingly everyone else on the Internet who has one of these puppies, I’m impressed with it. This is the first time I’ve had a LWB Trail Finder 2 [...]

Monster Truck Madness – Questions about Dual Motors

Hey gang and Happy Thursday! I received a couple questions last week from a long time reader and I’ve been meaning to talk about one of the topics for awhile but didn’t know how to slip it into a column, so this is the perfect chance. These questions come courtesy of “The Trail Rat”. I am getting into radio control monster [...]

Monster Truck Madness – Squash Vans and Other Fun Projects

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! Those of you in the states- you’ve almost made it to a holiday weekend! As we head into Labor Day Weekend, we are about to unofficially close the door on Fall. I’m ready for it. It’s been too hot outside! Cool weather, football on tv, and autumn r/c bashing are 3 of my favorite things. I wanted to [...]

Monster Truck Madness – Mini Mud Trucks

Hey gang, Happy Thursday to you! I feel like over the past calendar year I’ve written a lot about mud trucks. Around this time last year the original Traxxas TRX-4 High Trail was announced and released. I preordered one and had a blast with it. Just a couple weeks ago the gang at RC4WD announced the Scottsdale K10. They aren’t out [...]

Monster Truck Madness – New Rotten Apple

Hey folks and Happy Thursday! Last week I wrote about updating my Rotten Apple paint scheme and it’s now finished so I wanted to share it here! The body I’m using is a JConcepts ’97 F-150, which works with the looooooong wheelbase of the TLR LMT. I trimmed a little extra out of the fenders and rounded the front by the bumper [...]

Monster Truck Madness – Gettin’ After It

What’s up everyone? Happy Thursday! It’s funny how the hobby works. A couple weeks ago due to being in the middle of moving houses and a variety of activities that all seemed to hit at once, I was ready to write about how I was dealing with burn-out and was perhaps on the verge of needing to take a break from [...]

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. Given the truck had a neon green chassis, I tried to figure out something [...]

Monster Truck Madness – FMS Licenses the Smasher

Hey folks and Happy Thursday to you! One of the things that I missed last week when writing about my experience at BIGFOOT Open House 2023 was that the “High Roller II” edition of the FMS Smasher was released. The 1:1 High Roller II is a fully restored classic monster truck that’s been making appearances for the better part of a decade [...]

Monster Truck Madness – Gone Movin’

Hey everybody, major apologies for being brief this week but I am in the middle of moving houses. After a couple years of renting, I finally bought a house and it has ample room for a workshop (including painting area). Hooray! As such, I’m running around this week with not much time. I did want to make a post though because [...]

Monster Truck Madness: More Like MotoCross Madness Amirite?

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 [...]
