Ha. LOL RustyUS. Thanks. Tamiya rattle can. PS-7 Orange, PS-6 Yellow. Backed with PS-1 White. So easy even I could do it. If you have access to RCCA (aka Radio Control Car Action) back issues, check out the March 2003 issue, "World's Easiest Paint Job (that doesn't suck)." That article...

Thanks Doom! Getting good wear out of the Trenchers and good handling and traction on a variety of surfaces. Better tire than I thought it was going to be. Just needed to find their niche, I guess. Found a track south west of Houston offering run time during the week. About 50 miles from...

Been dabbling about a bit with the Rival. Little stickering up. Actually ran a simulated rally concrete/grass in the front yard last week. Started following ARA (aka American Rally Association) simulated their running of the Headwaters Rally in Minnesota this weekend. In order to be somewhat...

Rival MT10 gets a twin turbo install. Courtesy RPM. Complete with mock K&N air filters. Cheers. 'AC'

Thanks, Kevin. Here she is stickered up. Posed her sitting a #2 ramp and blue crusher tubes. Same basic chassis as the 'Orange Crush' (above). Removed the wheelie bar and fitted a set of Pro-Line Demolisher MT tires on Raid wheels. Have a 3800Kv sensorless I'd like to get swapped in for the...

MT10 ran the first back yard monster truck event today. Set up for a Blue Course racing lane, followed by a Red Course freestyle arena. He she is set up as 'Rival MT10', aka Orange Crush, on the freestyle crush car obstacle. Second image is overall of the freestyle. Only have a few ramps so...

Yeah, Doom!. Drought and heat conditions being what they are, have to force the issue to get play time in. Hunkered down in the workshop now. Putting a storage charge on the MT10 LiPo and soldering up an adapter lead for the SMT10. Supposedly rain today, but it's always in the forecast...

Got some ramps in today on a back yard course. Test set-up. Getting a feel for the space a course will need to provide for a challenging series. Ran a real simple set-up based on a Y.T. vid by Cobra Kai (RC). Got the F100 on its lid twice, so it's broke in now. Power unit is 2s x 5000 50C...

Wow forgot I had started this thread. Apologies for leaving you guys in the lurch. I'm playing the senior card. Update images of the MT10 (Mod) with the new ProLine 1966 F100 body. Spent a good deal of the day stickering her up. Still needs a set of trick Monster Truck stickers. Something...

Hey guys. Started the new year off with a bang last night and a bash today. County is putting in walkways along the bayou. There are lots of raw earth sites to choose from close to home. A bashers dream come true. Ran a 2s LiHV shorty today. 4600 120C instead of the 5000 50C 7.4v full...

Install is done on the RPM Mock Blower, Exhaust Tips and Body Skid Rails. RPM does a really nice job with the instruction sheets. Walk you through the install and provide spot-on templates. They make it so even I can do acceptable work. :) It only has to look good once at presentation...

Hey guys. Piggybacked off Sledgehog's thread on the New associated rtr MT long enough. Thanks, sledge. Time to start my own. It's a performance and upgrade thread more so than a project thread. Think it's a good fit here. RPM bling arrived and fit out begins. Mock GMC blower, side...
