Hello everyone, Happy Thursday. There’s a very timely e-mail that just came in today, so let’s get right to it. Hi Doug, nice to email meet you. Got a question for you: I’m super intrigued by Horizon Hobby’s sale on the Losi LMT roller—$260 until 4/22 or supplies run out. However, I’m skeptical. Why the deep discount? Anything (like a V2, for [...]
I just competed in my first racing event of the 2022 season this past weekend, so let’s talk about all of those Losi LMT changes I made recently. Here are several articles discussing this build. The TL;DR version is this- all the Treal, JConcepts, BowHouse RC and Spektrum goodies make my LMT feel like a COMPLETELY different vehicle than it was [...]
Hello everyone, happy Thursday! My 2022 racing season starts off this upcoming weekend, and my Losi LMT is in the shop for one last set of upgrades before hitting the track! The stock battery tray sits very high at the rear of the vehicle. BowHouse RC makes an LCG battery tray to rectify this issue. Since I’d be lowering the battery box, I [...]
Hello everyone and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Starting off, anyone reading this at the time of publication should check out Horizon Hobby’s Flash Sale. Losi LMT Rollers are $150 off and the RTR Grave Digger and Sonuva Digger are discounted $200! Those are some crazy deals. And no, I’m not getting paid or kick backs or anything from this, I’m just [...]
Well, thar she blows, folks. My first ever airbrushed body. My Losi LMT is sporting this freshly painted JConcepts ’89 Ford. I think I went a tad dark on the shading and the letters didn’t quite come out perfect, but hey for a first time I’m pretty happy. And besides, if it turned out perfect I’d probably be sad about the [...]
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 [...]
Hello gang, and a very Happy Thanksgiving to those of you reading in the US! Due to the holiday season going full swing, I’m seeing e-mails and discussion on the monster truck group pages where prospective r/c monster truckers are asking which Grave Digger they should buy, either for themselves or (as most of the discourse I’ve personally seen) as a [...]
Greetings gang, and welcome to the last “pre-holiday season” MTM! I use the quotes because these days, holiday season starts November 1st and NOT on the day after Thanksgiving as in years past! (and side-note, for those looking to shop early, today was a heck of a day with two big releases in the hobby!). Last year at this time I [...]
Over at Horizon Hobby they have dropped a new Behind The Innovation Video featuring their mighty Losi LMT Monster Truck. Watch the video below to learn about all the behind the scenes work that went into the LMT, as well some gnarly action footage. With a scale realistic body, chassis, and wheel/tire combo, the LMT not only looks the part, [...]
Whew, what a time! Last weekend was the annual BIGFOOT 4×4 Open House in Pacific, MO and it was an absolute blast. Here’s some odds and ends on the weekend that was. The weather was amazing. Right around 80 degrees with complete sunshine. Open House is usually rainy or scorching hot, so this was perfect. There was A LOT of BIGFOOT iron [...]
Hey all, how you doin’? I’m fresh off a scorching weekend that saw my club, Trigger King R/C, finish our seventh year of racing in the hot midwestern Summer. We started our series back in the Spring and ran outdoors on dirt. This season was particularly interesting because it was the first since, well, late 2016 when a significantly new platform [...]
Greetings and an early Happy 4th to our American readers! The above pic was shot back in July 2017 when me and some buddies attempted to recreate Dennis Anderson’s “Mr. Destruction” wall of steel stunt in r/c form. We used an Axial SMT10 and a bunch of plastic cars, and it was a blast. I’d link video of it, but [...]
Greetings gang, and happy Thursday. As someone who is heavily involved with racing solid axle monster trucks, watching the Losi LMT become integrated into the scene has been fascinating. My club, Trigger King, put together a “Losi LMT Spec Class” to run for 2021. Other organizations throughout the US have been running similar classes with similar rules, all with the goal to [...]
Folks, it has taken me 3 months of competition but I have FINALLY got the tune-up I like on my Losi LMT. So many of you folks have asked about this via e-mail or via YouTube comments on the Trigger King page that I was getting very frustrated in not having an answer. Well, also the fact it was driving [...]
It looks like the folks at Treal dig the Losi LMT monster truck. Many of their recent upgrades focus on this model, including their latest offering. Treal’s Aluminum 7075 Losi LMT Wheelie Bar aims to deliver style and durability, giving your R/C monster truck more back-end support for those times when your trigger finger gets a bit…heavy. This wheelie bar kit [...]
