2010 Scale Nationals

By Bender on June 3, 2010

The Montana Scale Designs (MSD) Scale Nationals was held this past weekend, May 28th-30th. This particular event concentrates more on the scale/realistic side of R/C, but these trucks can also still handle some moderate rock crawling and trail runs. The goal for this event is to build the most realistic truck you can while maintaining [...]

By Bender on May 11, 2010

Well, over the next couple weeks I will be posting up some detailed pictures of various features that this kit has to offer. Today I’m going to start with one of the most critical areas, axle housings. Axle housing are the back bone of any rig that crawls in harsh terrain. If the housings aren’t up to par, then your chances of doing well at a big competition are already compromised.
