Can I just get a HUB?

Posted by Manny @ 11:54 pm. Filed in: New Products, rock crawling, scale rc

Sometimes all you need is a good HUB! Well that’s what I think the peeps over at GMADE where thinking when they designed these scale 1.9 Wheel Hubs. These little aluminum beauties come in 5 different styles and in your choice of Black, Red or Silver. They have a nice M4 nylon lock nut that is bound to fit tons of vehicles as well as including all the necessary hardware to get you mounted up and rolling in no time. Retail should be under 15 bucks and it should add that extra bit of scale detail to finish off your rig.

Carry your load with the BIG DOG!

Posted by Manny @ 11:56 pm. Filed in: New Products, RC4WD, scale rc

Man I can’t even nod off for a few days and the fellers over at RC4WD just keep pushing the envelope every chance they get. What you have here is a handmade tube trailer with steel leaf springs, a working jack lift, steel tool box and working lights called the Big Dog Dual Axle Hauler. She also comes loaded up with 1.55 Dirt grabber tires and billet aluminum wheels. Now I will be the first one to say she is not light on the wallet but if you don’t have the time or the skills sometimes you are better off paying the piper.

the SCALER SERMON

Posted by Manny @ 10:16 am. Filed in: scale rc, Tamiya

Hello all you crazed Scaler Fans out there we are launching an official SCALER section here at BigSquidRC and I will be your host!!! Please hold the applause until after you see what I can put together. So I have been thinking about this section of the hobby and how to best present it to the masses for some time, and while we will always be posting new items and quick blurbs on the main page this section will be dedicated to bringing you a sort of week in review in scale. With highlights on some brands taking scale to the next level, to “How To” videos, tips and tricks of the scale world and everything in between. Please let me know if there is something in your neck of the woods that is scale related or if there is something in particular you want more info on just ask!

So since this is the beginning I thought it would only be fitting to take us all back to the beginning of scale (at least in my opinion……)!
