Amazing custom builds, challenging desert trails, incredible manufacturers, and an RC community that reminded me why I love this hobby so much. Join me and the RC Review crew as we explore this massive event at Horseman's Gulch, featuring some of the most impressive scale RC crawlers and custom creations you'll ever see. **In this video:** - Incredible scale builds from the Show and Shine competition - Boom Racing's custom build competition, including an amazing Steve McQueen Land Rover tribute - Epic trail crawling with hard-body Toyotas, Chevys, and 3D-printed trucks - Bonard's Garage and his award-winning Toyota FJ62 - Wild Mad Max builds and converted Tonka trucks - Zoku RC's lightweight performance crawler chassis - Redcat's new 1/18-scale lowrider - Operation 11 Charlie and their inspiring work supporting veterans and first responders - An unbelievable collection of high-end competition crawlers But the biggest highlight wasn't just the trucks. It was the people. Meeting longtime RC Review viewers, reconnecting with manufacturers, and seeing how this hobby brings people of all ages and backgrounds together made this an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to Axial, the event organizers, manufacturers, and everyone who stopped by to say hello. **Have you attended By the Fire or another big RC crawling event?
