The Traxxas 1/16 Grave Digger Review
The moment we saw the Traxxas 1/16 Grave Digger, our gut reaction was that this might be pretty cool. A mini monster truck based on the 1/16 scale E-Revo platform would be fun to bash with. Then we read further and saw that it was shipping as a 2wd vehicle, and you could ‘upgrade’ to 4wd. This news was a bit upsetting. Well, we finally got some wheel time with the truck, our final thoughts? Keep reading to see how much we miss 4wd…

The Viper Copperhead speedo and VX4.39 motor system are an affordable option for your 2wd SCT, how does it stack up? Let’s find out…

Sometimes people think I’m crazy but I just don’t mind handing over many of my R/C cars to just about anyone. The beauty of this car alone made most people shy away. It wasn’t until I told them it was a review car for Big Squid that they’d take the wheel. Assuring them not to worry if it broke (as that is exactly what we wanted to know) they took the helm at 4 different venues with only a loose rear wing to show for it. So what’s it like to drive one of these things? Read on…

THE Viper Copperhead R and VX4R.51 Sensorless Brushless Motor/ESC System Review
To really rip up the local bash spot takes some serious horsepower now days. I mean, since brushless has taken over the world every Tom, Dick and Harry are packing 500 watts (or a LOT more) of tire shredding power to the local Wally World parking lot. Do I have some good news for you- Viper has an uber new 550 system intended to lay waste to its competition. Is the new Viper Copperhead R system battlefield ready? Read on…
The Traxxas XO-1 Review
We finally got our hands on the Traxxas XO-1, easily one of the most talked about car releases of the year. This was Traxxas’s answer for a Supercar. There was controversy from the beginning, and there was also a lot of praise. This is probably the most anticipated and honest reviews of the Traxxas XO-1 you will find, so lets dive into the review and see how it rates with Big Squid RC.
Firelands Anza LCG Conversion for Traxxas Slash Review
It seems like forever ago that we heard about the Firelands Group was going to be putting out a LCG (Low Center of Gravity) Chassis upgrade for the Traxxas Slash. Then when we finally got to see a picture, we thought WOW, this could be interesting! Then we got one in our hands, it was time to put it to the test! We dusted off our 2WD Traxxas Slash, and got to work! Keep reading to see how it went..
Pro-Line has done it again! These new Pro-Line Super Swamper tires will turn your trail rig into a highly capable scale truck. The tires are so detailed they have even included labels you will find on a real tires sidewall. Keep reading to see all of our thoughts..
The Flyzone Sensei RTF Review
We don’t do a lot of airplane reviews, but we do have 3DBill, our resident pilot. Brian and Wrench like to dabble with flying now and then, and by flying I mean ‘Falling with Style’. So we know there is a little crossover with bashers and the flying scene, so why not review a couple of planes now and then. The Flyzone Sensei is a new trainer, so it seems like a good place to start. We will keep it short so we don’t bore the car guys. How’s the Sensei do? Keep reading to find out…
The Duratrax Evader Brushless Review
We first set our eyes on this truck at a private viewing in the Hobbico offices back in October. It was put on the table in front of us with a ‘what do you think?’ and at first glance there was a lot of truck that we were looking forward to. From brushless to waterproof, it had what we were looking for in a new Evader, lets see if it stood up to our expectations….
