Big Squid RC - Basher Approved Stuff!
If you are a basher, these are the products you should have no second thoughts about buying. If you are a manufacturer, you can only hope your products make this page, and earn this seal!
Earning the Big Squid RC Basher Approved seal, means that the product is truly basher ready! Just because we might rate a product high, does not necessarily mean that it will earn the seal. The following criteria (among other things) are what it takes to earn the Basher Approved seal:
1) Must truly be able to take a beating!
If hitting a jump, or swiping a curb disables it for the day, it does not belong here.
2) Must be easy or low maintenance.
We don’t want to be wrenching, when we should be bashing!
3) Must be worth its weight in gold.
This does not mean expensive products, can’t make the list, they just better be worth every penny!
4) The Company that created their product must believe in it as much as we do!
There are a lot of companies out there, just looking to make money with NO concern for their end users. We understand, making money is good, but not at the cost of quality!
The following products have been deemed worthy to carry the Big Squid RC Basher Approved seal!
As time goes on, we hope to be able to add more products. We will go back and see if products reviewed in the past are worthy, but don’t expect too many.
If you are a manufacturer, and think your product is worthy, please contact us! (Don’t hold your breath!)
It is with great pleasure that we can award RPM RC Products the first ever Basher Approved Lifetime Achievement Award!

Review Here: Castle Creations - Mamba Brushless
This motor is truly incredible! I have put mine through a lot of abuse! They have powered my RC18T to 61mph, and the King Squid dragster even faster! If you are looking for speed and durability in a mini motor size, this is it!

Review Here: RC-Solutions T-Maxx Roll Cage
This one is a no brainer! My RC-Solutions Roll Cage has saved my truck so many times; it’s not even funny. I have had the cage for a while now, it might not be pretty anymore, but it’s still doing its job, protecting my truck!
