Ok, so what’s with the picture of a bunch of shoes? I honestly don’t know. All I know is that when I showed up to take some pictures, the guys from Global/Hobby Shack all started comparing shoes and pointing out who’s were the best. When I took the picture, they [...]

WOW! This is by far the longest and highest RC car jump video I have ever seen! (And I have seen a LOT!) Mike Ogle sent me this footage that he took in 1996/97 at the Dominguez Hill velodrome. There was a RC car speed run event there. I would guess [...]

For years, (literally) I have been asking body manufacturers to create a hearse. HPI Racing finally did it! It’s called the Grave Robber, and is modeled after a late 1950’s hearse! It’s made from .040 thick clear polycarbonate and is ready to fit the Savage, T-Maxx/E-Maxx size monster trucks. AWESOME! I [...]

Pro-Driver Adam Drake was there to help entertain the crowds. He looked like he was having a good time driving some 1/18th scales around and impressing the people with some driving skills. It’s always fun to see the pro guys a little out of their normal element where they can [...]

Things were a little slow this weekend, and I’m going to assume the next day or so will also be slow. All the major companies and their marketing people are on their way to Chicago for the iHobby expo! I have a feeling it’s going to be a really great show this year! Here [...]

I love spy work! I know it’s not really a spy shot, but with pictures of the new HPI Baja 1/5 scale SS being VERY rare, this was as good as I could do. I don’t have a lot of details on the buggy, but here are a few.. should ship around [...]

I was pleased and surprised to find four new press releases in my mail from Team Novak recently. I haven’t heard from them in a while, and I’d like to think that more and more companies are taking notice to the growth BigSquidRC is having.

What a cool event! We got off to a bit of a shaky start.. being the first time they have had RC’ers out there, nobody was sure what to do with us, what they would let us do, and what the reaction would be. That all changed when the first truck hit [...]

I just got word that Team Losi will be introducing a brushless Micro-T! This will probably be one of their big iHobby announcements. I always thought the Micro-T moved pretty good for it’s size.. it might be crazy with a brushless system! I also have heard that it will probably be just [...]
