The Heli-Max 1SQ Quadcopter is an easy to fly and very durable machine. However, there is a new version, the 1SQ V-Cam that comes stock with an on-board camera.

The video below showcases just how neat it is to fly around and take video. With the 1SQ V-Cam you can get some neat high angle shots, and when you add in movement it makes for some real unique video that you could normally never get.

Vaterra Glamis Unboxing Video – Big Squid RC Style

Brian — Thu, 30 May 2013 14:12:29 +0000

Have you seen those 20 minute rc vehicle unboxing videos, where they don’t even touch or open the box for the first 10 minutes? Yea.. you know the ones.. we fall asleep too! Well we decided to add our own twist to this popular video genre.

For the record, we did not pick the Vaterra for any particular reason. We decided we were going to do a video like this, and the Glamis Uno was the lucky vehicle that showed up for review next. If you only watch one RC video today, this might be the one to watch! It’s only 3 minutes! Enjoy! (Don’t forget to watch it in HD!)

Tim and Cubby say this is the ultimate way to unbox a rc vehicle, though they already have plans for the next one. It will be interesting to see what vehicle shows up next. I think a 5th scale would of cracked his driveway!

PS: we really don’t recommend this is the way you unbox your vehicles!

Video – Robbie Gordon Stadium Super Truck Demo

Tim Mohr — Tue, 28 May 2013 21:10:03 +0000

If you haven’t heard, Robbie Gordon’s Stadium Super Truck Series is now in full swing. The SST series looks to be more extreme than previous indoor truck events. A couple of weeks ago at the San Diego round the SST track featured several supercross style doubles and a crazy do-or-die crossover section. As further proof of just how crazy these trucks and drivers are check out the video below of Robbie Gordon doing a demonstration at a car dealership. My jaw hit the floor when I saw how hard he was hucking his race truck between all those brand new cars!

The BigSquidRC Bash Crew will be covering the next two Stadium Super Truck events – June 8th in St Louis Missouri at the Edward Jones Dome, and June 22kd at Soldier Field in Chicago Illinois. Come out and hang with the BigSquidRC crew and check out the rc demo’s being put on by Traxxas. Traxxas is not only a support of Robbie Gordon, but also of the Stadium Super Truck Series.

It has disc brakes, 5 speed + reverse, full suspension and the engineering underneath is mind blowing. Even the controller is built from scratch.
