iHobby Expo 2012 – Cleveland Ohio

Posted by Brian @ 9:04 pm. Filed in: Events, iHobby

Every year Big Squid RC puts on some pretty huge demos at the iHobby Expo trade show. It’s a great way for us to get to meet a ton of our fans at once, answer questions, and give away a bunch of cool prizes while wow’ing the crowds. This year’s show is moving to Cleveland Ohio. It’s normally in Chicago, but they are changing things up a little bit. As the show gets closer, we will be posting more reminders, but this seemed like a good time to get it in the back of people’s minds that it’s coming up.

The actual show dates are October 13th and 14th, 2012. You can get a bunch more information at the official iHobby Expo webpage.

If you haven’t seen what we do there, check out this video of us in action!

Horizon Off-Road Showdown at US Air Meet 2012

Posted by Brian @ 9:51 pm. Filed in: Events, Horizon

Here’s something you don’t see or hear about often. Off road RC and Planes at the same event! This year Horizon Hobby is having their Off-Road Showdown during the US Air Meet 2012 in Sanford, Maine USA. The dates are September 6-9 and the event will include multiple layouts for 1/8th scale nitro and 1/10th scale electric racing. Our buddy Scotty Ernst will be the race director for this one, along with some of the factory guys from Team Losi Racing. This is one of those events that draws thousands of spectators along with some amazing aircraft and flying skill, so it should be an all around awesome time for RC fans. You can get all the info on classes, cost, and schedule at the official US Air Meet Website. I’m not sure Big Squid RC will have anyone covering this event, so if your a fan, and in the Maine area, drop us a line!

I haven’t seen Scotty since the last Trackside Hobbies Event, so if you see him out there, tell him BSRC say’s hello!

Summer Kick Off Bash Pictures

Posted by Brian @ 11:44 pm. Filed in: Events, Featured Posts

Well, the Summer Kick Off Bash turned out to be a real blast! We had people from several states show up and partake in some serious bashing fun! The events we ended up doing were the Obstacle Course that ended by slamming into a ton of old transmitters as the finish line, the Sumo event, Demolition Derby, the Shopping Cart Slam, and finally ended with some all out ramp and big air goodness! Below are a bunch of pictures, and hopefully a video to be edited soon.

Classic Car Show Demo Pics

Posted by Brian @ 11:16 pm. Filed in: Events

Last night Big Squid RC was invited to do a RC demo at the Westmont Cruisin’ Nights in Westmont Il. Our demo was a huge hit, and we have been invited back to do a few more shows! Keep a eye on the front page, we will let you know when we do the next one in July!

Classic Car Show Demo Gallery

We had a great turn out. Bill (aka Wrench), Adam the Intern, 3DBill, Greg, and myself were out in force. We brought a ton of vehicles because we knew doing a 3 hour demo was going to create some carnage. We busted up a bunch of vehicles, but the crowd loved it! 3DBill was even doing some flying action, amazing the crowd with some awesome stunts.

Thanks to everyone who came to see us, and special thanks to the BSRC crew for spending their Thursday evening bashing.

Big Squid RC – Summer Kick Off Bash!

Posted by Brian @ 4:06 pm. Filed in: Big Squid RC, Events

For those of you in the area Illinois area (or for those that like to drive) we have scheduled an official date for our Summer Kick Off Bash! Mark your calendars for June 9th 2012! The event is being hosted by the Orland Park, Hobby Town USA. You can get more info on their store here! Scheduled events so far are Demolition Derby, Shopping Cart Slam, Parking Lot Wars, and 2 Vehicle Sumo. There will be others, but these are the ones we are giving you the heads up on.

We are working on the award/prize list, so check back often for details on that.
We recommend being on a 2.4Ghz radio system, as these bashes tend to be a little chaotic. Also, the intended vehicles for this bash are Monster Trucks and Short Course Vehicles. We will allow some ‘other’ vehicles to participate, but there may be events your vehicle may not be able to join in. For example, if you want to enter your 1/5 scale ride in the Sumo, and there are no other 1/5th scales signed up.

Any questions, drop us an email or post in the comments!
