RE: New to RC Universe
Surprisingly enough, Monster Mutt has been done. I've raced against the truck before. The same guy that owns it, has a Maximum Destruction thats just scary fast. It has Castle Creations brushless motors in it, i don't know exactly which ones though. He built it tough so that it will survive in freestyle, he can roll it over and the truck will flip back over onto the wheels with little effort from the driver. I've seen him take the thing full throttle into a wall head on and not break anything. If you get a chance to, search for mrdestruction21 on youtube and you'll see all kinds of Clod racing and freestyle. Its really something to watch. You'll even see some of my trucks running and in action. I'll post pictures of the Max D and Monster Mutt trucks for you all to see.

RE: New to RC Universe
Ha, my credit cards been locked up for awhile. No, the Grave Digger is not a wheely king, its a clodbuster to. Its my favorite truck to screw around with though because it reacts just like the real truck did back in the early days. Its kind of a cross breed between the old school Grave Digger 7, which had the long red coil overs and the new rebuilt version that debuted in 2000 that had the new paint scheme applyed to it. Also, all the art work on my bodies are vinal wraps. I need a new Grave Digger body though as this one has seen ALOT of wear and tear on it.

RE: New to RC Universe
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! No i didn't do any of the paint work on these trucks myself. The 3 bodies i have on them now were done by CPE and Brett Crawford. I've never been much of a painter. I try to keep them in great working order but thats hard sometimes when you want to drive the wheels off them in Freestyle, haha.

RE: New to RC Universe
They are from RC4WDstore.com. They really hook up on the dirt. I havn't tried them on carpet yet. They can provide for some wild moments when you just bash with them. I used to have IMEX pullers on the truck. While great for carpet racing, they really just dug a hole on the line outside. These i think are a good combo for both indoor and out door racing. I will warn you though, RC4WD doesn't have the best reputaion for getting an order right. I ordered a set of 4link bar mounts from them and got two sets of washers instead if that explains it. Haha.

Hello all. My name is Josh Rhodes, i'm a photographer for Allmonster.com and i've been into RC's for about a year now. I started out in Nitro, i have a Savage XL that i'm working on restoring that i bought last year. My main passion though has been RC Monster Trucks. Since i'm very into the sport of actual monster truck racing and have crewed for afew teams here and there, i wanted to have my own little trucks to replicate some of the bigger ones i've worked with. All my electric trucks are based off the Tamiya Clodbuster and i thought i'd share afew photos with everyone here. This is my CPE Terminator Avenger clodbuster. It runs Trinity 9T Cryptonite motors. About the only thing stock on it are the tires. This is my main Freestyle truck. [image]http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm315/Dig38/RFQ012.jpg[/image] Here is my Bad News Travels Fast replica bodies Thundertech Ripper Pro monster truck. This will soon have a body change though as i have ordered a replica body of the Brutus truck. It runs 17T Peak Raven motors.

Its Bad to the Bone. It was built by John Boyer for me and it is based off of Grave Digger #7, the truck that really put Grave Digger on the map in the 90's. This truck was known for doing power wheelies, i don't believe it ever lost a wheelie contest in a small arena. This truck is a blast to drive around, it reacts just like the real truck did back in the day.
