Hey folks, welcome to your weekly Monster Truck Madness! I’m usually not one for talking about an announcement of an announcement, but I’ll make an exception for the upcoming Primal RC 1/5 Scale Grave Digger.

In an era where monster truck freestyle [...]
Hey guys, another week, another Monster Truck Madness! This week I’ve got something a bit different than the norm, as I wanted to share a special build that reader Stephane Z., aka Werner Sline, sent me. His Grave Digger is a really nice custom-machined piece that is built like a tank. The details from him: – Homemade arc-welded steel axles + link [...]
Hey all, Doug here. My monster truck club wanted to do something special for the 4th of July, so here it is!

The 1/10 version of Mr. Destruction belongs to good buddy Habo Gutierrez, and [...]
