RC solid axle monster trucks have been enjoying a nice revival over the last few years. As someone who’s personally been enjoying the segment since the release of the original Tamiya Clod Buster (I’m old), I love all of the new activity. What I also love is full-size monster trucks. If you do too, you…
Imagine going into a bowling alley, walking right past the counter and just grabbing a lane to practice. You’re a league player, but you’re just looking to have some fun, test out your new ball and improve your game on an off night. The bowling alley won’t appreciate you sauntering on in without paying. Why…
At RC Truck Stop, we write reviews, tech pieces, which include how-tos and projects, new product announcements and commentary articles. The last ones, the commentary articles, are basically opinion pieces or editorials. In my opinion (see what I did there?), any RC topic, as long as it’s interesting–as in relevant and important–and handled respectfully, is…
We all understand that stealing is wrong. While plenty of people still do it, for the most part, we all can wrap our heads around concepts of rightful possession and wrongful left. These aren’t not hard concepts to comprehend. Yet, almost weekly, I see someone taking to Facebook to call out a thief. Most of…
I am by no means the Ansel Adams of RC photography, but I have taken more than my fair share of photographs for RC magazines and websites. While working for RC magazines I tried to be a sponge around the true professional photographers. And, my wife also happens to be a professional photography. But, even…
I know for some people maintenance is a four letter word, but if you want your RC gear to last a long time and perform to its full potential, you need to take taking care of it. You need to do some maintenance. When it comes to maintenance, I’m a big fan of Simple Green…
There are a few ways you can get a shock end off a shock shaft. You can grip it with pliers with a few layers of paper towel serving as protection for the shaft or you can grab the threads that go into the shock end with side cutters. Both of these methods can work,…
My goal every time I race–club race or big event–is to just make the A-main. Of course, I want to win, that’s always the ultimate goal, but I’m firmly in the ‘I rather finish last in the A than first in the B’ camp. Making the A-main is my success benchmark. Making the A-main means…
If you’re into RC odds are you have the proverbial need for speed we all seem to have. Whether you race or bash, going fast is fun. And, unlike full-size, there aren’t the same consequences–no speeding tickets and usually no physical harm to people. Sure, you can hurt yourself or someone else, so caution should…
Hobby shop owners and race directors want happy customers who keep coming back. And, racers who feel like they stand a chance at winning often keep coming back. In obvious contrast, racers who don’t feel like they’ll ever win eventually don’t come back. It isn’t a hobby shop owner’s or race director’s job to make…
Mudboss racing continues to grow. In fact, it is undeniably one of the fastest growing classes in RC. If you’re unfamiliar with the Mudboss class, check out this article here. If you are familiar and want to go faster, check out the tips and tricks below. BODY MOUNTING Once you’ve seen a Mudboss in person…
Lowering a crawling’s center of gravity is one of the best ways to improve its performance, and one of the easiest ways to get the weight low is to add brass components. If you own an Element RC Enduro you have hopefully seen the slew of hop-up parts being dished out by STRC (ST Racing…
RC transmitters aren’t really all that durable. Sure, they’re not exactly fine crystal fragile, but they are electronic devices, and it doesn’t take a genius to know they can break pretty easily. But, even if having some no-frills RTR radios helped develop some less-than-careful habits, you’ll probably snap right out of it when you shell…
Big ol’ Boggers might look cool and they certainly perform well, but when it comes to vehicles that have to see any time on paved surfaces, more reasonable mud tires such as Interco’s TrXus M/Ts are far more common. They might not get the glory, but the TrXus tire is on a lot of trucks…
