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! 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 [...]
Good day folks, and a Happy Friday to you! Welcome to the Backyard! This week is gonna be a throwback to my Monster Truck Madness days, because it’s all about a new monster! The Losi LMT 2.0 has been announced, and the Losi team has done a good job of making several significant updates to the platform. You can read the [...]
New from Treal is their Carbon Fiber & Aluminium LCG Battery Tray for Losi’s 1/8 LMT Monster Truck. This upgraded battery blends several material types to create a lightweight support for your battery that improves the handling performance of the LMT. Carbon fiber and aluminum are the two primary materials used in this low center-of-gravity tray, keeping its weight low while [...]
Hey all and Happy Friday! Welcome to a holiday time-vortex edition of The Backyard! Well, it’s my last post of the year. With that, time to take a look back at my predictions and see what I got right or wrong. Then, next week I’ll take out the crystal ball and make some educated guesses as to what we will see [...]
Greetings everyone and Happy Thursday! This picture above of my messy workspace is that of someone preparing to race monster trucks for the first time in 2024 this upcoming weekend! The Trigger King R/C season kicks off this Sunday in Waterloo, IL, and I’ve got 5 trucks (almost) ready to go. My LMT’s are being run as they were last year- no [...]
Hey folks, happy Thursday to you! This week we are heading into the monster mailbag as I got a good one involving the Losi LMT. Hey Doug, Recently I was watching some Trigger King races, is there a reason you guys don’t have a LMT spec class anymore? Not really a fair race when stock LMT’s are up against a modded out clod. What about a shock on [...]
Greetings all and happy Thursday! Well, some big (small) news dropped today! Losi has announced the 1/18 Mini LMT 4X4 Brushed Monster Truck RTR, in Grave Digger and Sonuva Digger body packages. You can click the link here for the full specs, but the main gist is that Losi, well, shrank the larger LMT into a smaller platform that has a very [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
What’s up Squid Nation! As much as RC has evolved over the last few years, we still tend to see body clips being used on some models. Not a big deal, but body clips can be a pain in the Squid at times. Like when you need to get the body off fast because its smoking and so on. Fine [...]
Hey all and Happy Thursday! I wanted to share where I’m at with my TLR Tuned Losi LMT kit and share some overall build impressions thus far. In my 30+ years in the hobby, I’ve somehow never built a Losi kit before. Kinda wild when I think about that, but it’s true! The instructions are nicely laid out, and each step of the [...]
Hey folks and Happy Thursday! I got a shipment update from UPS that made me VERY happy- my TLR Tuned Losi LMT kit has shipped! I was one of the first to pre-order and got in the first batch, so I got lucky in a crazy quick turn around. I think all pre-orders are slated to ship by April at the [...]
