Monster Truck Madness – The Waiting is the Hardest Part
Hello everybody and Happy Thursday!
I hoped to debate my new Losi Mini LMT this week, but it surely received’t arrive till after this posts. As the nice Tom Petty stated, “The waiting is the hardest part.”
I suppose the excellent news is that it’ll give me a full week to drive mine and get a really feel for it, so barring some type of essential r/c monster truck information breaking within the fast future that I’ve to handle, search for some detailed impressions on the Mini LMT subsequent week on this house.
So, what to do till then?
Well, I’ve been a constructing like a madman as of late, whether or not it’s been a Tamiya Kong Head, engaged on my race monster vehicles, constructing scale models, or another r/c initiatives I’ve but to speak about….so I’m very joyful the infant LMT comes pre-built! I’ve bought plans to switch it after all, and I’ll discuss that subsequent week, however given all I’ve occurring it’s going to remain inventory for a couple of minutes.
So with a “forced” week off from r/c, I used to be perusing my LHS to see what all is new they usually bought one of many new Traxxas Spartans in to show. It was sitting on the trailer that was introduced for it as effectively. Holy cow, what an insanely giant rig! I’ve by no means been a boating individual per se (although I’ve wished to construct some type of r/c warship!) however the considered carving waves with that huge Spartan appears like a ton of enjoyable. I’d think about these of you on the market who will see it on show in their very own LHS could have comparable ideas as mine.
I actually like how the large r/c corporations are doing releases lately – just about the day they’re introduced you’ll be able to go into your LHS to get hands-on time with a show mannequin after which resolve whether or not to pre-order/order one. It does a great job of constructing hype in addition to letting people see them in individual and develop extra of their very own conclusions. A far cry from the previous days, lemme inform ya!
Speaking of vehicles on show in my LHS, mine just lately put out an Axial SCX6 (Honcho) and it seems superb in individual. These days, the terrain native to me is much less pleasant to 1/10 and smaller crawler rigs, so a truck the scale of a small ATV would most likely be much more enjoyable! Maybe someday quickly I can rating one.
Anyways, sorry for being rambly. Look for my detailed post-run impressions of the Losi Mini LMT subsequent week! Until then, preserve it on all 4’s!
