Monster Mike's in RC Car Action!
 
Stopped by the LHS on Friday to pick up some Savage parts and saw on the magazine rack a special edition of RC Car Action on Electric and Brushless powa. Intrigued and with money burning a hole in my pocket, I picked up a copy and flipped through it later that night.

Was surprised to find a nice How to article later in the magazine written and staring none other then the Monster Mike himself! Awesome job man, good info in that article for brushless noobs like me! Check it out at your local magazine place and pick it up!

That would be breaking copyright law me thinks, so unless Mike say's otherwise, i'd better not.

Nice to see Mike get some more ink for all of his hard work.

What's the article on page 18 all about? It says on the cover "Traxxas 1/8th scale buggy".

Steve Slayden from Traxxas modified a Slash 4x4 into a buggy basically.

It's the first time I see a pic of Monster Mike. He looks very clean. Somehow I always thought he'd be a little more grungy looking. Like with some machining lubricant smeared on his cheeks and nose and aluminum shavings in his hair. He really looks like a nice guy :lol: :yes:

Not that surprising since they have almost the same footprint. :)

A lot of us have done just the opposite...modified buggies into trucks so I imagine that is was not that difficult to do

The special edition does have some very cool articles in it, the 100mph HPI Vorza was particularly impressive.
