We have listened to your requests and are now working on various projects to help you determine how best to spend your hard earned clams!

Do you have an idea for a project? Contact us and we will check it out!

The items we use for our projects will also be reviewed individually on our Product Reviews page.

Most of the items are purchased by Beat Your Truck and some are supplied by the manufacturers. Manufacturers that supply components for testing do not receive any special treatment. All of our reviews are objective and honest.



   PROJECT B-MAXX  

Our latest project is a brushless Traxxas E-maxx with all the trimmings. GARC, FFRC, Castle, Apogee, FlexTek, and more. Yes, these have been built before but we don't care! BYT needs one of these BAD!

Stay tuned.....this project is in the BYT shop now and actively being built!


   PROJECT HPI 5BYT SS  

We are actively building a HPI Baja 5B SS kit and tricking it out with some great items from GH Racing, FFRC, DDM and some custom stuff as well.

The project is complete and we are testing it right now!

Stay tuned.....this project will be online very soon!


   PROJECT Trail AX - Axial AX-10 Custom Crawler/Trail Buster  

Axial Racing came out with the AX-10 crawler and we just had to have one! They have certainly boosted the RC Crawling scene to the next level of popularity. Rather than just stick with the stock kit, we wanted to create more of a combo crawler/trail busting machine. A custom tube chassis, powerful electronics and more have been poured into this project! Items from Holmes Hobbies and Rummy RC are the focal point of the project and are going to make it FLY (and crawl)!

   PROJECT MMMLST....Dual Mamba Powered Losi MLST 

The forum members of BYT put their money together and purchased a brand new MLST for BYT! How cool is that? To honor them, BYT will be turning the little monster into a force to be reckoned with. You guessed it, a Mamba, Mamba powered MLST!

They are the latest craze in RC and there is no wonder why! The Losi Mini-T is a killer little truck and if you don't already have one, get off your duff and get one.

   PROJECT "JUMP MAXX"  


We know that everyone can't afford $2000 in parts to hop-up their truck. Project JUMPMAXX is our attempt at taking a basic T-Maxx and making it jumpworthy on a budget of less than $400. We will break it down piece by piece so even if you don't have that many smacks burning a hole in your wallet, you can select what parts you do want to invest in and in what order.
