Monster Truck Madness – It’s good to win one
Hello everybody and Happy Thursday!
Ya know, I’ve been racing strong axle retro monster trucks for 10 years now, and up till final weekend I had by no means gained an precise race day occasion in that class. That lastly modified final Sunday! And wouldn’t you realize it, I wasn’t even driving my very own truck, ha.
I gained the day’s Trigger King R/C Retro Clod competitors with Orange Outlaw, which is owned by my good pal Chris Blank. His nickname within the membership is the Clodfather.
This Clod is a JConcepts Regulator construct that’s decked out with the entire trick JConcepts Shapeways elements for Clod axles. The tubes/knuckles particularly actually make a distinction as to the general dealing with of the truck, as they permit for a tighter turning radius than the stockers.
It has a brass chassis weight that helps hold the middle of gravity low, and the blue compound JConcepts Golden Years with Slam Tech closed cell foam inserts enable the restricted suspension to do it’s job the perfect that it fairly can.
As such, it’s an absolute monster on the race monitor and is extraordinarily simple to drive. Those of you on the market who personal Clods however have by no means pushed a decked out Regulator….they’re Cadillacs.
They are nonetheless Clods, thoughts you, however they’re method much less bumbly and rolly….wonderful descriptors, however I’m positive lots of you realize what I imply.
Winning and shedding an r/c race isn’t one thing that’s as essential to me because it was, as nowadays I’m most pleased when the general occasion goes easy sufficient, but it surely feels nice to win one!
Thanks to Chris for letting me wheel his rig!
Until subsequent time, hold it on all 4’s!
