Monster Truck Madness – Looking again at my 2023 Predictions
Hey everybody, hope you’re in the course of some very completely satisfied holidays!
It’s time for one in all my favourite blogs of the year- wanting again at my predictions for the r/c monster truck house for the now-previous yr and seeing what I bought proper and what I bought mistaken. I’ll go over my 4 predominant bullets beneath, however you possibly can learn final yr’s prediction weblog here.
#1 Losi LMT Sees a Refresh – Correct!
2023 noticed two refresh’s to the LMT- the TLR Tuned LMT that got here out within the Spring, and the Mini LMT which launched a pair weeks in the past. More on the mini in a second although, as actually that’s a brand new platform. The TLR Tuned LMT equipment was a shock to many people, because it was a completely racing centered builder’s equipment that was launched as a restricted version. Mine is presently my favorite solid axle race truck within the fleet.
While I technically predicted we’d see one other RTR type model of the truck or a special taste just like the mega truck variations, I’m nonetheless placing this prediction within the win column!
#2 More Microscale Monsters – Correct!
Ok, gonna play quick and unfastened with microscale as technically the largest launch within the class, the Mini LMT, is just not “micro”….but it surely’s within the ballpark of what I meant! I imply, within the prediction weblog final yr I particularly talked about a smaller LMT! That’s a win for ol’ Douglas!
#3 ARRMA Releases a New Basher Monster Truck Platform – Correct!
When I made this prediction, I assumed ARRMA could be releasing a brand new premium mega basher platform. However, they did launch a brand new one, simply at a special worth point- the inexpensive Gorgon Monster Truck! I’m very a lot wanting ahead to selecting one in all these little dudes up. And hey, one other W within the win/loss column for predictions!
#4 A Scale Old School Monster Truck is Released – WRONG!
Welp, I suppose I couldn’t go 4 for 4 within the ol’ prediction sport. A disgrace actually, as this was the one I used to be desirous to occur probably the most.
Another yr has come and gone with out a true scale old fashioned monster truck launch. Let’s hope 2024 is a special story!
And with that, we’re going to flip the web page to 2024. Next Thursday search for my predictions weblog for the upcoming yr!
Until then, hold it on all 4’s. Happy New Year everybody!
