Monster Truck Madness – Flyin’ in to the Holiday Weekend
Hello everybody and Happy Thursday!
As we head into the upcoming Memorial Weekend right here within the States, I’ve bought no coherent singular subject to deal with, however I do have a great deal of random issues to debate!
First off, shout out to my mates and fellow monster truck racers Isaac Ankrom and Josh Rhodes for kicking ass on the R/C Monster Jam World Finals final weekend in LA. Isaac wound up taking third in racing and Josh received the freestyle competitors. Not solely was there stiff competitors, however they had been performing in entrance of a big crowd of onlookers and that may be troublesome in and of itself. Nice work, fellas.
Earlier this week, Team Associated introduced they’re re-releasing the RC10T as a limited edition kit. I like the old-fashioned buggies and all, however traditional stadium vehicles REALLY tug on my coronary heart strings. Especially seeing these large ‘ol pin spike tires. We as a hobby have lost sight of how awesome those old school pin spikes are/were! I’m solely partly kidding right here. Yes, trendy tires make extra sense…however I really like how every thing again within the day had gnarly pins. Remember the Pro-Line Maxx Mulchers for Maxx monster vehicles? You might rattling close to aerate a yard with them!
There have been a ton of actually cool monster truck our bodies launched as of late. JConcepts has come out with Aerostar Vans of various sizes for various vehicles, in addition to Losi LMT (and different lengthy wheel based mostly vehicles) sized Chevy S10 and ’79 Ford getups (P.S. you will notice considered one of my Rotten Apple monsters sporting that ’79 Ford shortly). Pro-Line has simply introduced a licensed Avenger 1957 Chevy Bel Air. The number of shells on the market as of late for the r/c monster trucker is actually thoughts blowing in comparison with the way it was once.
Horizon Hobby R/C Fest is arising shortly. Taking place June seventh and eighth in Champaign, IL, R/C Fest options all types of cool stuff. You can take a look at the info here. If you’ve by no means seen skilled degree r/c pilots doing their factor within the air, buddy you’re lacking out!
Saturday, June fifteenth, the BIGFOOT 4×4 crew is holding their annual Open House in Pacific, MO! I’ll be there serving to to host an r/c monster truck race with the Trigger King R/C crew, and I’ll publish detailed occasion data subsequent week right here in Monster Truck Madness!
To end off this rambly publish, I’ll be spending the vacation weekend engaged on finishing my mystery r/c tank. I’m having a freakin’ BLAST with this mission to date, and I look ahead to discussing it very shortly. And whereas the tank I’m engaged on goes to remain a correct reproduction navy tank, I’m already planning on getting one other and turning it right into a monster tank.
Stay secure on the market this weekend, all. Until subsequent time, preserve it on all 4’s!
