Aww yea! It’s time for your chance to win one of the coolest bodies recently released, the Pro-Line Rat Rod!

You also get Pro-Line rims, and wheels to complete your conversion as well as a Pro-Line T-shirt and hat!

So how do you enter? Easy! Send us a picture of your 1/16th scale Traxxas E-Revo (That’s the vehicle this body fits) and you are entered to win! We will randomly choose a winner from all valid entries.

Congratulations to TRAXXAS as their Slash 4×4 is the 2013 March Bash-ness Champion! Every year our readers never fail to surprise us on who they are going to vote for, and this year was no exception. We never would of guessed the finals would of been Traxxas vs Traxxas! I’m not sure who won our office pool this year because I know nobody saw that coming! To make it even crazier, it’s the closest voting finals we ever had! The polls say the Slash won by 1, but looking at the logs, it really won by 5. There were a few people who snuck in votes after the official closing time.

To help celebrate their win (I’m pretty sure Traxxas has been celebrating all week.. their odds were good) they have agreed to let us GIVE AWAY a brand new Traxxas Slash 4×4!

So here are the rules, you need to leave a COMMENT below with a valid email address! You should be over the age of 18, or get your parents to sign you up. You must live in the USA. We will only ship to a US address. Sorry guys, rules are rules. You must have your comment/official entry in by Friday night April 12th 11:59pm cst. We will then choose a RANDOM WINNER EMAIL from all valid entries! Good Luck!

We have a winner in our Custom Parma Body Contest! Congrats to Kenneth Anders! You have been randomly chosen by our automated software and a message will be sent to you to get your mailing info!

Special thanks to Parma/PSE for the contest, and making a cool looking body.

Didn’t win?? Don’t worry, another contest will start this Monday, so come back and see what’s next! (Hint, you may have to work for this one)

We got our hands on this awesome custom Parma/PSE body at the iHobby Expo last month where artist Charlie Barnes was painting up some killer stuff, and people could ask questions and check out his awesome painting skills. You can see the article we did on their booth HERE.
The body is the new Parma Fifty Five SC Baja, and it’s ready to go on your ride! As you can see from the pictures we haven’t cut out any holes for the body posts, but we wanted to give you an idea of what it would look like on a truck.

So, what do you need to do to win? Easy. You need to leave a comment here or on this facebook post, and like this post on our Big Squid RC Facebook Page. We don’t really push our FB stuff, so why not show it a little love right? Residents of the continental US or Canada only! Sorry, but paying $50 to ship a $35 body out of the country just isn’t working for us lately. LOL.

Winner will be announced Friday, 10pm CST, and will be drawn randomly from all valid entries! Good Luck!

So what are you waiting for? Go LIKE this post.

Special thanks to artist Charlie Barnes and PARMA for the body, make sure to stop by their Official Website.

This is it! Our last week of the Dozen Mystery Vehicles Contest!

IMPORTANT RULES:
To enter, tell us something you like or don’t like about BSRC in the comments below. Tell us what you think we are doing right or wrong. (We’d prefer more right!) Or tell us something you want us to do more of. Or that we don’t do, that we should.. we can take it.. I think. I’ll get Cubby some Kleenex.
