Quick Fan Pic
Just wanted to post a quick Fan Picture for the Big Squid RC Prize Contest this morning. Not sure we had any other SC10’s yet! Lots more fan pics coming in, will try to get them posted asap.
2009 No Limit RC World Finals – Day 1 – Early Registration
I made it to the No Limit RC World Finals just in time to register early. I met up with some friends and setup shop. So far there looks to be about 70 people here a day early. The No Limit RC group is here with all the affiliates (VA, MD, and FL). The [...]
Xmods Revival!?
Having been dormant for some time, the Xmods line is slowly making a comeback. Their newest release, an Audi R8, is probably one of the coolest Xmods to date. The highly detailed body has the usual interchangeable panels that Xmods are known for, but it also has a mock engine bay, just like the real Audi. This adds a [...]
Traxxas TORC R/C – RC Pro Series – Texas Write Up
From the Texas Motor Speedway: May 15th. Practice Day. Practice opened at 9am Friday. The track was a little rougher than intended due to the black gumbo used being really hard to lay smooth. The good part of it was there was mega traction whether the track was wet or dry! Racers had to learn how to [...]
Beef for your 5B!
HPI Racing has developed these extra-beefy VVC/HD shocks for the Baja. They feature thicker 6mm shafts, and a new piston design that allows smoother damping. All this comes packaged in a threaded, gunmetal anodized shock body that will handle whatever punishment you throw at your 5B or 5T.
Reedy VMX 7.2V 1600mAh Packs with Traxxas Connector
Looks like Reedy is getting off to a good jump on the soon to be 1/16th scale Traxxas Mini E-Revo VXL and Mini Slash VXL by supplying 1600mAh battery packs with the Traxxas connector on them, all ready to go. Keep an eye out for them soon at your local shops.
Torco RC Race Fuels
Looks like we have a new rc fuel player in town, Torco Racing Fuels. They have Car, Truck, Airplane, Boat, and Helicopter fuels in 15 20, and 30% nitro. I wish them luck. It’s a tough market right now for sure. Maybe they will have a new mixture winner!

HPI Racing Baja 5B Painted Baja Buggy
Looking for a new HPI Racing Baja Body? Trash yours at the last Bash? Just apply some decals, and Big Squid RC stickers and you are ready to go! It also comes with the upper and lower body panels. You can also buy the lower panels separately now since those are the ones people seem to trash [...]
RC Mud Racing?!
Looks like the Traxxas TORC / RC Pro series at the Texas Motor Speedway saw a little moisture. I’m told the racing still happened after getting the track drained. Looks like good bashing action, probably not so much fun for the serious racer. I wonder if they ever found the person belonging to [...]
HPI Racing Datsun 240Z Body
We recently discussed a different Datsun Cup Racer body coming from HPI’s, but now they have released the Datsun 240Z Cup Racer Body! This body looks pretty cool, and brings back some crazy memories! All you Cup Racers, it’s time to get your Datsun on!
