Magnum 272 undeniably sounds tough. And, while this Traxxas transmission design has certainly proven to be durable and has also received some substantial upgrades over the years (metal gears, bearings, slipper pads), it is still not without some flaws. The two most noteworthy issues are the hole in the bottom of the transmission case and…
Pizza cutters are for pizza. You know when you grab the trigger and a tire or two balloons up and then gets all stretched out thin if you stay in the gas? That’s a pizza cutter, and while it may look cool as all that power gets unleashed, it’s not really a good thing. It’s…
Pro-Line makes money by selling you bodies, but it makes its reputation by selling you quality. So, even though have you shell out more loot for more bodies certainly makes sense, Pro-Line has designed a body you most likely won’t have to replace–ever. This body fits the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 and, unlike most monster truck…

Pro-line Racing has always liked to show off its skills in details when it comes to lexan bodies. The new 2019 Chevy Silverado Clear Body for PRO-MT 4×4 and Traxxas Stampede 4×4. and X-Maxx are great examples. Both very greatly in size by comparison, but both still pack in the features we like to see….

What?! Is it too early to say we love it? I mean we’re suckers for monster trucks and we’re suckers for scale, so this truck had us at hello. We’re willing to bet you are there too. The SMT stands for Scale Monster Truck and the 10 means 1/10 scale. We love it. We already…
The Blackfoot is an ionic nameplate in Tamiya history. Right up there with the Bruiser and others like the Midnight Pumpkin and Lunchbox. They all come from the same generation. This was the start for many kids and adults in the 80’s. Owning one of these in a collection today meant you were able to…
As a kid, I loved monster trucks. What little boy didn’t?

Other trucks followed soon after like the Tamiya Bull Head, Kyosho USA-1, Tamiya Juggernaut and TXT-1, but slowly…
If you like monster trucks there are plenty of choices in RC, but if you’re a true fan of the real car crushers and want realism in your RC, which means ditching independent suspension for solid axles, your options are a lot more limited. To make matters worse, the mainstay–the Tamiya Clod Buster–is getting, well,…
You’ve heard of the economics theory of supply and demand. It’s easy to see how it works, but sometimes there are baffling instances of no supply despite a clear demand. Such is the case with Clod Buster wheel choices. Over the years, there just haven’t been that many affordable wheel choices for Clod or solid…
STRC has clearly been watching the scale monster truck scene explode and become bigger than it’s been in a long time. I’m not talking about the 80’s classics here; the new breed of monster trucks that are being built today are a mixed bunch of custom builds, and one of the top brands people are…
If you ask most people who have 1/10-scale or larger RC vehicles how they feel about mini 1/18-scale vehicles and they might be wondering what’s the point? I admit that I was one of those individuals–until recently. I’ve never really been a fan of driving anything smaller than 1/10 scale, but once I got my hands on the…
