Monster Truck Madness – Another Season within the Books
Hey all and Happy Thursday!
This previous weekend, in Waterloo, IL, we simply completed our ninth out of doors Summer season of Trigger King R/C monster truck racing. It’s loopy that simply the opposite day it felt like I used to be making ready my vehicles for the primary occasion of 2023.

A pair takeaways from racing stable axle monster vehicles the previous year-
• The JConcepts Regulator chassis continues to dominate Retro Clod racing. While a number of vehicles sported several types of chassis, I imagine each occasion was received by a Regulator geared up truck.
• To be aggressive in Sport Modified, a truck must be geared up with two brushed motors, whether or not meaning a Clod OR an LMT/Axial primarily based truck transformed from one motor to 2.
• Pro Mod r/c monster truck racing is a avenue combat between closely modified Tamiya Clod Busters and Losi LMT’s. Yes, some Axial primarily based vehicles had been aggressive right here as nicely, however by and huge this class is a heavyweight bout between the aforementioned rigs.
• Freestyle is sort of fully Losi LMT’s lately. And if not an LMT, Freestyle R/C primarily based monster vehicles….which closely influenced the design of the Losi LMT. So yeah, the LMT guidelines the roost right here because it’s mixture of efficiency and toughness makes for a terrific combo.
All in all, a terrific season! Huge due to JB Scale Graphics for permitting us to make use of their prime notch Field of Dreams Raceway!
Until subsequent time, maintain it on all 4’s!
