Charles Reed sends us his rig that we’ll call a Tamiya Clod Buster because it uses the axles from the classic monster truck. The frame is custom and the tires are RC4WD Mud Slingers on Tamiya TXT-1 rims. The eye-catching body is a International CXT hard plastic shell lifted from a toy-grade RC. Charles uses…
Our friend Matt Bury of Digital Designed hooked us up with a race machine to feature as Truck of the Week. His Kyosho Inferno ST-RR, a 1/8-scale truggy, has been outfitted with a Orion Wasp .28 engine, Futaba servos and Outerwears shock covers. Raising autism awareness is close Matt’s heart, so he chose a cool…
Tattoos and Pringles–they say once you get started, you can’t stop. If Bernie Horstkamp’s Axial Wraith is any indication, you can add RC modifications to that list. Bernie is from Saratoga, CA, and he hasn’t left much stock on his Axial Wraith. He boosted speed with a Novak Timbuk2 speed control Wraith Edition that includes a…
At RC Truck Stop, we believe RC is one the absolutely best family hobbies and this Axial SCX10 belongs to the father and son team of Martin and Oliver Wendt of Connecticut. It has been modified to include 4-wheel steering, and a Parma “Skool Bus” body gives it a unique look. Integy aluminum axles further…
This Tamiaya King Hauler comes to the RC Truck Stop via Canada and is the handy work of Mike Revill. Mike says he loved building the 1/14-scale truck and he feels it’s his best work yet. He plans to accessorize the big rig, and towards the top of his wish list are aluminum rims and…
Here’s a unique take on the rather common Traxxas Rustler. Nick Gillmoure gave his stadium truck a rather truggu-like stance. The body is a JConcepts Punisher cab-forward body designed to fit an Associated T4. Nick hopes to add a Castle Creation Sidewinder or SCT brushless system and Pro-Line 2.8 Badlands. He’d also like to get…
There’s no denying it was the Jurassic Park theme on this Axial SCX10 that caught our eye. The truck belongs to Greg Peterson and was painted by Ed Hayes of Slipstream Graphics. The body is a Pro-Line Jeep Rubicon, features a trimmed front bumper and RPM light bar. Out back is a metal swing out spare…
This truck made us instantly envious. It has been dubbed the “Digger King” and is the handiwork of Tim Kievit of Washington DC. Tim kept the stock chassis, painted it Grave Digger green and stretched the wheelbase by using a mix of HPI’s Crawler King links. The wheelbase now appropriately matches a Traxxas Stampede since…
This Traxxas Stampede belongs to Marlon Haines of Missouri. The monster truck features Traxxas Big Bore shocks and aluminum turnbuckle links. He turned to STRC for aluminum steering knuckles, hub carriers, motor guard and hinge pins. The shock towers are from RPM, as are the suspension arms and front bumper. Power comes from a Castle…
