Featuring an in-his-prime Patrick Swayze as a tough bouncer, a gruff Sam Elliott as his mentor, a smokin’ Kelly Lynch as the town Doctor, Ben Gazzara as the evil town business magnate, and a host of other cast members that even includes legendary pro wrestler Terry Funk, it’s hard to find [...]
Hello everyone and happy Thursday! The UPS man has been loving me lately, as I’ve had a steady stream of monster truck parts coming to my house with no signs of stopping.

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 [...]
Hey gang, as 2021 comes to close, I wanted to share some absolutely stunning BIGFOOT replica monster trucks with you, built by my friend @TEAM_BIG_GUNZ_RACING on Instagram.

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 [...]

So big, in fact, that it made local news! Super cool to see the hobby in the mainstream like this! There were a plethora of amazing rigs. Whenever one of these kinds of races [...]
Last week I gave a signal boost to several of the solid axle monster truck communities’ small, specialized companies. It seemed to resonate with a good number of folks, so I’m back with a part 2!So Cal Monster Trucks The folks at SCMT offer various products for the solid axle community, but their flagship offering is the Warpath chassis and the [...]
One of the most special things about the r/c solid axle monster truck scene is how the full scale motorsport is so closely associated and embedded within the 1/10 scale version. Some of the biggest events of the r/c monster truck calendar take place at the homes of some of the biggest names in the sport. Bigfoot and Grave Digger [...]

My LHS received an order of the Losi LMT’s last week and I am proud to finally join your ranks in wheeling a solid axle monster truck. While it’s [...]
Greetings, all! I spent the last weekend racing monster trucks, and what a weekend it was. At the Trigger King R/C Summer Event #2 we had some 100+ monster trucks show up. So much fun! I’m still recovering. Sun burn, broken parts, scrambled brain- you know the drill! Sooooo, something more rambly instead of coherent this week. I plan to follow-up on [...]
