For Bashers, By Bashers!
Recent Reviews

This is it! Our last week of the Dozen Mystery Vehicles Contest!
I’d like to thank everyone that has participated in the past 11 weeks! The contests were fun, and a great way to help give back to the readers!

We gave away one new vehicle a week for 12 weeks! The vehicles may by nitro or electric and are from the following companies: ARRMA RC, Team Durango, Duratrax, and Thunder Tiger!

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.

ALL entries must be in by 8pm cst. Monday November 5th. And we will announce a winner at 10pm CST. Don’t worry, the winner will still be random from all valid entries.

Because of shipping issues, this contest is limited to the continental United States Only. Sorry. Getting radio and other equipment overseas and across boarders lately just isn’t that easy any more, and costly.

Comments are turned on for this post, if you feel in the mood to chat it up.
Good luck, and have fun!

  1. Jeff Podina said this nonsense:

    You’re doing things right by giving away free RC’s!! Keep doing things right by giving one away each day so I might actually win one eventually!! Good job guys!!

  2. Ragu said:

    I love the articles, though sometimes lacking in a comments section stinks. I saw Cubby’s article discussing it, and understand, though comments can be restricted to moderator approval on most sites. Is it an option?

  3. Stephen Gerfen broke a vow of silence to say:

    I like the battery shoot-outs, especially the blind testing that was done.

  4. TRC opened their gaping maw and spake:

    I don’t get it you post this on facebook on November 2, but entries had to be made by October 29? Oh well I missed something. Anyway great stuff on this website wish it included more reviews for oval racing but I still get alot of good answers from questions I’ve had getting back into radio controlled from the brushed, NIMH era! Good stuff!

  5. Kyle Cooper commented thusly:

    I think your website is quite swell

  6. Doug Gernaat commented thusly:

    much respect for what you guys are doing… i feel there is a nice commitment to new content. i’d like more video in some of the reviews. all in all… y’all are coverin’ RC like a BOSS!

  7. Sean Fredericks said:

    Ive never really found anything to dislike here on BigSquidrc.com
    I love the reviews and shootouts. Keep up the good work……..bash on brothers!!

  8. Mike Hylton attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    Great prices and fast shipping!

  9. Jason commented thusly:

    I enjoy your reviews. How about hop ups for the axial line.

  10. Jason Brown said:

    Your doing good with your reviews I always check here before I buy

  11. Clay Berry said:

    So far I have been very pleased by BSRC, more of the same will do just fine thank you! About the only thing you could do better would be give me a job!…LOL

  12. scott attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    Maybe this time

  13. Jim Beasley's mouth spewed forth:

    You know, I think this site is just awesome. The reviews are invaluable . The news and forums are off the hook. My son and I appreciate what your doing and even if we never win a thing, we will still spend a good portion of our weekends, cruising your site for ideas to help us enjoy this kick ass hobby. Thank guys.

  14. Jason Owens commented thusly:

    Show me the r/c

  15. Jason Owens said:

    What do I like, free rc and all the good news without all the news I don’t need to know. Lol

  16. Steve S said:

    I have been very impressed with the overall content of the site. I appreciate the reviews of. “Basher” type vehicles especially with respect to durability and overall fun factor. This is exactly the type of RCing my kids and I like to do so this site meets our needs well. Thanks.

  17. Brandon W commented thusly:

    I really enjoy your shoot out pieces. I find them very informative.

  18. Rich Schott broke a vow of silence to say:

    I like the giveaways the best. It keeps you coming back.

  19. joshua attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    You guys go very in depth with some of your reviews

  20. Jason said:

    Man I love all the reviews and the info on new releases. You all are great, keep up thes great work!

  21. Chris Bronstorp broke a vow of silence to say:

    I love this sight.

  22. C Dub broke a vow of silence to say:

    You guys offer an unbiased and honest interpretation of the trends & happenings in the RC industry. Not afraid to incur the wrath of the “big boys”. Keep telling it like it is!

    Also good reviews.

  23. Thomas Rodriguez said:

    I love the fact that BSRC posts Info about new products before I hear it from anywhere else!

  24. Jim proclaimed on this day:

    Final go round!

  25. dannydietze proclaimed on this day:

    I really enjoy your reviews and shootouts, they are well written and full of useful content but I’d like to see more of them. If you were to change something about your site, I’d like to be able to look at all the pictures related to the article without each opening in a new tab, I’d really like to see the image just enlarge when clicked on, then have the ability to scroll through the images, or at least allow scrolling through the images in the new tab, not one new tab per image.

  26. Brian Beckstrand said:

    I like the giveaways, but I wish the comments were turned on more often. Thanks.

  27. Taylor Smith broke a vow of silence to say:

    Thumbs up on the giveaways, honest unbiased reviews and up to date news!
    I would like to see more shootouts, I know theyre probably time consuming but its nice to have truly side by side, objective comparisons.

  28. Chris commented thusly:

    I agree with “Ragu”. I would like to see more comments on articles. I understand why you aren’t allowing them but the added interactivity with the site would be huge for your site statistics which your advertisers will love.

    Second, I would like to see continued followup on the models you test and your daily drivers. If could have a section that has an index of the models you continue to use. Then the drivers could post updates on how they are doing or the mods being done. You could call it something like the BSRC Garage and the posts could be driver journals or logs. I would love to see what some of the behind the scenes guys have to say about their daily drivers and not just a one and done review.

    Other than that you guys rock! Keep it up.

  29. chris sias attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    i love all the content you put on your site and all the great contest you do. i’d like to see some updated reviews of current gen models like the savage flux and others. after visiting this great website for a couple of years, i think it’s in desperate need of a makeover.

  30. Johnny attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    I like everything BSRC does, especially the sweeps these last few weeks!

  31. Joey proclaimed on this day:

    I like your reviews. I appreciate the fact that you guys don’t baby these vehicles and put them threw the paces that a “normal” basher would. I do think you guys should turn comments on more often. Could see that leading to some interesting discussions. Keep up the good work guys.

  32. Tiffany said:

    I think you guys at BSRC have done a great job so far, I just wish you’d host even more sweepstakes for us poor 99% that can’t afford some of these fancy RC wonders, but would also love to basque in the joy of running one of these +$500 toys through the mud! :)

  33. george silliman opened their gaping maw and spake:

    ive always liked when sites post the “inside looks” of others cars and shows how they might of set something up or made it stronger/better.

  34. Josh Floyd broke a vow of silence to say:

    Thank you for keeping racing alive!!!!

  35. Craig T said this nonsense:

    The best thing about BSR is the fact that you are not owned to the manufacturer’s advertising dollars. Too many others out there will give any new rc product a glowing review regardless of the it’s quality or design. Keep up the good work and continue to help the average bash master sort through all the choices out there to find the cream of the crop.

  36. BrendonP said:

    I’ve always been more in to the racing scene, but absolutely enjoy the fact that you guys promote the other 95% of our great hobby – bashing. Over the past few years, I’ve purchased several vehicles that will never see track use – Axial Exo, Traxxas Ken Block Rally, HPI Mini Trophy – at least partly due to reviews or information I read on Big Squid. Thanks, and keep it up!

  37. Richard D. broke a vow of silence to say:

    You guys are great. I enjoy reading your articles and always check out your reviews before buying something new!

  38. Sam s attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    The only suggestion I have for you guys (other than give me a free Rc already) is to update your review section more often. Other than that you guys do great work I enjoy your reviews and other articles. Oh, perhaps have video links of you guys bashing around with cars your reviewing down with the pictures would be pretty awesome to see them in action, it would give us a better idea of what that car can do.

  39. Matt F opened their gaping maw and spake:

    I like the fact that you guys are crazy enough to beat the crap out of anything you test, regardless of its price. The shootouts are great, and I’m always looking forward to more of them – and the giveaways are just an added bonus. I check the site daily for RC news – keep it up guys!

  40. Howard said:

    I like what your doing with the site. Love all the articles I just wish that you would allow comments so some dicussing could be done. Other than that, great jog, and great contest

  41. Greg opened their gaping maw and spake:

    I appreciate a lot of the reviews you guys do. For the most part, they’re thorough and informative.

  42. Erwin broke a vow of silence to say:

    I’m glad that you guys do unbiased reviews. My only minor gripe is that everything receives somewhere from 7.5 to 8.5 tentacles. I didn’t do a total average for all your reviews and I may be generalizing but there hasn’t been one review that really sticks out in my mind as something so highly rated that I HAVE to buy it. I’d really like to see the reviews of the things that really suck. I mean the ones that really aren’t worth the time and effort to actually write about.

  43. skully mclarney commented thusly:

    Big Squid rocks!!!!

  44. Prince Bey proclaimed on this day:

    One last time

  45. Arigato's mouth spewed forth:

    I like the product reviews; you just need more of them as well as shoot-outs.

  46. renegadebigdog proclaimed on this day:

    You have great updates on new products. I’m always interested in whats new.

  47. groovechild commented thusly:

    would like more li-po shoot-outs, chargers, even just basic r/c tips
    charging, building, hop-ups, tear-downs, stuff like that! How about a R/C frakensteen competition, build an absoultly insane monster truck,car, boat whatever using items from 3-4 diffrent cars etc..

  48. Waylon potter said:

    Love the reviews and how honest they are! I think long term reviews would be a nice touch

  49. Cliff Matthews opened their gaping maw and spake:

    I really like the way you guys are always the first with breaking RC news and the free giveaways! Everyone likes giveaways!

  50. Tom Frankito's mouth spewed forth:

    Great RC site. All of your content is valid and great. I would like to see some more shootouts or How To video’s. Another suggestion might be comparison’s on the different drive trains ie.. Associated’s belt drive to cv shaft’s for 4×4 for racing or bashing which is better, breaks more or more maintenence than the others. How about motor reviews? I am new and this all would be great information. Keep up the great work!

  51. Jerry opened their gaping maw and spake:

    Think BSRC provides excellent unbiassed reviews and think their reasoning, when they give, it on issues is well thought out. Would like to see more shootouts.

  52. Joe Cimino's mouth spewed forth:

    I love your LiPo tests, it’s a great format for comparing batteries and determining where the quality really comes from in the industry. Same thing with the Transmitter comparisons, very good information. Perhaps move towards multirotors/FPV? It’s sort of a niche market within an already niche market, but it is slowly starting to gain popularity.

  53. Brian said:

    Free RC’s every week are great. You should keep doing it till the end of the year. Keep up with the honest reviews also. Really digging your site.

  54. jim orr commented thusly:

    I would like to see more shootouts. But I do like the free prizes and the reviews are good also.

  55. Wolf attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    I love it when you guys have the bashfest. I came this year for the first time and now you will be seeing me every year!
    Your reviews are grand also! Keep up the great work!

  56. Marshall Spangler's mouth spewed forth:

    Lets do positive, I visit daily looking whats new and inventive. You deliver. Humor is always present. As a hobby you contribute to my fun factor. Underlying theme is this is a bunch people playing with not so cheap toys. THANKS

  57. Michael proclaimed on this day:

    I love your News Updates. I also like the interviews.

  58. Jerry Fry proclaimed on this day:

    I like the reviews and information supplied about new products and offers.

  59. Ryan N. said:

    I love that you aren’t afraid to give an opinion, that you have the guts to criticize even the companies that advertise on your page. I wish you had more time so I could read a new review everyday.

  60. will parker commented thusly:

    i like how you guys do all sorts of tests on your rc’s to check durability including running straight into a wall id like to see more tips and tricks on things to do to rc to make them better

  61. Simeon M proclaimed on this day:

    Big Squid RC rocks!!!! Always keeping the RC community informed on the newest things from all your favorites!!

  62. Walter broke a vow of silence to say:

    I think your web site is great, I have made purchasing decisions based on your reviews and have been satisfied!! Something that would help me since I am a beginner in this hobby would be an advice/information section. Something that could help me learn how to make the right choice in upgrading motors or batteries. More specifically what I need in addition to just changing a motor or switching from NiMH to lipo. Thanks alot for your web site, I check in every week!!

  63. lbenton opened their gaping maw and spake:

    Once more for the road.

  64. Gabe's mouth spewed forth:

    BSRC does most things awesome!

    I just think the reviews should be more brutal in the rating category, you seem to rate everything very high, when Most would not.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  65. John commented thusly:

    I love how you are a major supporter of the bashing scene. Lots of guys are really getting into bashing now and its nice to have a site that does honest unbiased reviews on tons of products that a lot of guys are really interested in. Thanks and keep it up!

  66. Mike said this nonsense:

    I LOVE EVERYTHING!!

  67. isaac said:

    i would like to see more running videos and a comparison section in the reviews

  68. Jared attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    BSRC is doing a great job they have great forums and I get a lot of great information. Keep up the great work.

  69. Jason Montgomery said:

    The only thing I could think of is if you hold on to a kit for a while do a long term follow up. Some kits will do well for a normal review testing period but over time show failures or faster wear than others. I like that you review kits using an array of testing. Could you post more visual examples of bashing? A little vid or pic of what you mean by extreme torture. Not on every review, but once in a while to give an idea. I also liked the interviews, maybe try to do more if possible.

  70. Jason said:

    I think that comments would be great, but I understand the issue of family friendliness. I do however believe that the forum on here would do well if you pushed it. Maybe just mention it’s exhistance at the end of some articles. For example, where you say ‘support your lhs and if you see us out bashing…’ Say a line encouraging some mature discussion in the forum about the topic just presented. It’s my opinion that it would be easier to moderate than the comment section. So, aside from that, I don’t need to tell you guys you’re doing it right. You have been since I started reading over a year ago.

  71. LANCE P's mouth spewed forth:

    I like all your car reviews but would like to see more shootouts you know ,Moyers ,engines,esc”s stuff like that

  72. Matt H.'s mouth spewed forth:

    The daily news articles are by far the best, keeps me coming back.

  73. Ralph Kittrell proclaimed on this day:

    I think you have the winning formula. I check your site multiple times a day. I would like to see more reviews. I tend to go with your reviews because you tell it like it is more the most. Most of the reviews online and especially magazines say every new rc is the best thing, ever scared to piss someone off. Bigsquidrc gives the truth so I would say more reviews. Thanks for all you do for the rc community and more importantly the average rc guy / basher.j

  74. Davy Cales said:

    Hey u guys are to cool!!! If i need info i come to your site first & it helps to keep me interested in the hobby. I had to move to Tenneessee to take care of my Dad,and left Indiana. Around Indianapolis ther was a lot going on in R/C, but here there was nothing, until about 4 months ago a guy opened a shop about 8 miles from my house. I was just about to sell all my stuff when the shop opened up, and they r going to build a track behind the building talk about luck!! I think I’ll keep my stuff now.The give aways r just icing on the cake. Too cool!!!!

  75. respect attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    hello</blockquote

  76. Peter sherno proclaimed on this day:

    I love big squid because of un-biased info and great reviews. I’d love to win! Thanks.

  77. chad henley broke a vow of silence to say:

    Hello BSRC,

    Thank you very much for the articles you post. I’m an older hobby enthusiast and can’t wait until my son is a little older to get
    into the hobby as well. I’ve been reviewing your internet posts for a few years now. I find a lot of benefits from reading your reviews on cars and radios. It’s really great to understand the bashability and quality of a car. With the help of some of your threads I’ve developed an upgrade path for my Axial EXO as well as changing from a Spektrum Dx3s to a Futaba 4PL-2.4G which handles 40 models.Some of the reviews have been an eye opener what I would expect to be a vehicle of a lower quality turns out to be pretty dang good according to the review and I almost pulled the trigger on an ARRMA vehicle myself just recently.

    Futaba 4PL-2.4G review by BigSquidRC

  78. Nathan Moser attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    I don’t like that comments are disabled most of the time

  79. Jesse Vaughn said:

    I think bsrc is doing a great job. What I would like to see is a review or feature on some of the race tracks carpet or dirt around the Country.

  80. Megan said this nonsense:

    I like the news-feed style front page. If a person is unable to log on for a few weeks, you can scroll down and keep going back till you’ve seen all the new stuff.

  81. kyler said:

    i really cant think of a hole lot you guys could do better just keep doing what your doing/ maybe a stadium truck shootout would be nice.

  82. keith said:

    The battery test comparisons are great. Could do with some more running and testing videos though.

  83. chris said:

    Good show Big Squid!

  84. John Cortes proclaimed on this day:

    Pros

    Good Review Archive
    Up To Date News
    Great give-aways and contests

    Cons

    Weekly rant by Cubby about “UFO” classes. We know how he feels, but devoting a weekly paragraph to it gets a little annoying. I often just skip his weekly posts now.

  85. jonathan tet's mouth spewed forth:

    more reviews! funds/manpower/time aside, reading your reviews is a great time waster. ive read em all, some more than once, even if i have no intention of purchasing the vehicle. the quality and quantity of reviews here is second to none.

    do want more of cubby’s rantings, especially about the racing establishment and the ‘ufo’ classes. more opinions and conjecture (but not in reviews) also would like to see comments turned on for more posts, although i understand the reasons not to.

    also would like to see more predictions/rumors if their are any, or even if you guys (cubby) makes them up. should be interesting reading. maybe different anonymous insider type(s) could get regular posts, to spill some beans or vent about some injustice without fear of being fired.

    biggest thing would be more solid axle, scale and crawler coverage. with wraith able to handle some speed and bashing, and all the scale buggies coming out, should be more feasible. i realize that its tough if the bsrc crew isnt super interested in crawling, but it would be nice.

    also maybe some shout outs to other websites, videos, forums, etc? rctruckstop for instance is great.

    and free stuff too haha

  86. Brian Rohe said:

    I like all the information about various RC companies that I get from BigSquid. My favorite thing is the product reviews.
    Good stuff!

  87. isaiah rosencrans proclaimed on this day:

    i like the fact that your site always has the latest scoop on new rc’s and new things in the hobby, i wish the comments on posts were turned on though.

  88. long c. broke a vow of silence to say:

    Keep it up. I wouldn’t change a thing on here. Great readying and everything that is added just makes it better. Great job guys.

    PS free rcs are always good.

  89. Taimur commented thusly:

    The Best and Worst of BSRC:

    Best: Always in formed and keeping us informed on every new RC product out there. Shootouts for all the essentials you go nuts wondering which to get while looking at comparisons. Huge Help.

    Worst: Not enough Running Videos of the RC’s you review. Dying to see what the Action was like in addition to the Pics.

    Honest Opinion here.

  90. Aryeh Richmond's mouth spewed forth:

    The layout is key to websites anre you’re doing a great job. Redable, easy to navigate, not overly cluttered. All in all, it’s one of the reasons why me and my son enjoy your site.

  91. kevin patrick commented thusly:

    I liked the pic of the week an vid of the week you guys used to do. Also something that could help the local shops you could do a local hobby shop of the week? Really you guys do a very good job. Club report is awesome.

  92. jkennedy commented thusly:

    big squid rc rocks!!!!! best basher site ever, first to have latest news and trends. great give aways and as always basher aproved.

  93. JoeO's mouth spewed forth:

    You are doing things right! I always check your webpage everyday to see what you have reviewed and what is up and coming! Keep it coming BSRC!!!

  94. Ben opened their gaping maw and spake:

    Keep up the good work. More review content consistency would be even better.

  95. Ryan said this nonsense:

    I would like to see more videos in your reviews, nothing like seeing an RV car getting hucked off a roof.

  96. Marc Deaso attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    I think bsrc does a good job of keeping readers interested. I like how I can see what is posted from Facebook. Keep up the good work!

  97. Vikram said:

    First of all you guys rock. You’re giving away free RCs. that’s pretty cool. plus you give us all the info a basher could ever need and break things so that we don’t have to. You help us make informed choices. I just wanna say thanks. I could say more but that would be if You gave me an Rc. But no matter what you guys rock.

  98. Gray Malkmus proclaimed on this day:

    I’m going to be brutally honest here….you guys are turning into RCcaraction. By that I mean all of your reviews are bogus. The fact that you said the Helion Dominus was great is a testament to that. EVERY OTHER REVIEW SITE said it was a total piece of crap. That’s because they actually bought the car, not sponsored by helion. I want this to be constructive criticism, not bashing, so I won’t go into any more. Thanks for the giveaway, hopefully you’ll take my comments to heart.

  99. Evan opened their gaping maw and spake:

    Hi Bigsquidrc,
    I love how you’re giving away 12 vehicles instead of just one! This is the best place to come for the latest rc news, I hope it stays that way! I also love the shootouts.

  100. jon acton attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    I think you guys have one of the best, if not the best RC enthusiast site out there. I love your honesty and the way you test products. It may be unorthodox but if a product can stand up to your abuse it can stand up to anything. There are a few things I think you guys should look at to enhance your site.
    First, let the pics open up in a new window but give them the ability to be set up as a gallery where I can scroll through enlarged pics rather than having to open up a new window every time. Second, I think it would be cool to do follow up reviews on previous products you still have in your stable. It would be nice to see how they hold up over the long term. Last, I’d love to see more project vehicles where you upgrade them and subsequently test the upgrades. Maybe it would be cool to feature 2 reader’s vehicles twice a month. Maybe this could help get more interactivity with the readers.

    Overall, you guys are doing a great job! Keep Bashin’!

  101. Eddie Fernandez attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    Needs more real world reviews. I seldom see a bad review on here. Motor reviews would be good. Maybe do a motor shoot-out similar to your battery shoot-outs.

  102. fennec broke a vow of silence to say:

    I would say more on-road but you got that covered lately too.. great job

  103. LOS JR attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    MORE PICS… IF YOU COULD SET UP A PHOTO GALLERY OF RC CARS AND TRUCKS, SO THAT WE COULD SEE MORE IDEAS THAT WE COULD USE ON OUR RC’S. INFO ABOUT THE DIFFERENT BODIES THAT WE CAN USE ON DIFFERENT TRK AND MODS WE HAVE TO DO. MORE INTEL PLEASE… ;{

  104. ben proclaimed on this day:

    i found your website very helpful and covering LOADS of topics that needed to be covered that i have a hard time finding elsewhere, good job. but something i think would help beginning people or even advanced people, (i don’t know about the advanced, i don’t know one)make a product list and have your reviews, articles, tests, ect. attached to each one and if you are not wanting to sell the RC’s then just have a link to the site under it. this i think would help people find parts, new vehicles, and anything else they may need. hope this helps you guys, and remember. if you aren’t having fun, your doing something wrong

  105. ben said:

    btw if i missed this list while i have looked and looked though your site (and have enjoyed doing so quite a lot)sorry, also add prices and specs to that list. if you have it.

  106. Steve C's mouth spewed forth:

    Like the reviews… Need videos for them that would be great!!

  107. Nate commented thusly:

    I peruse the site on a regular basis and sometimes there have not been updates for days. Then others has new post after new post. Spread them out a bit? I do like that BSRC is on top of new releases right away and the reviews are Consumer Reports style where they are purchased and used right off the shelves. Though I have not seen anything extremely harsh where the overall rating is below 8 (which is a “B” in my book).

  108. Alex's mouth spewed forth:

    I love this site, but it would be great to see Maxamps lipos compared in a test.

    • Alex said:

      I know they advertise, but I think most people here trust you to be unbiased. MaxAmps seems to be getting flamed on the forums, and I’m not alone when I say that I want to see how they stack up. Also, SPC seems to be gaining momentum, it would be cool to see them compared.
      One last thing, I always look forward to reading The Cub reports!

  109. jason brown proclaimed on this day:

    I like BigSquidRC BUT I’d like them ALOT BETTER if they would hook me up with a new car!!

  110. Greg broke a vow of silence to say:

    Looks just fine to me

  111. Dontae opened their gaping maw and spake:

    I really like the shootouts, especially the 2wd monster trucks.

  112. Chevis attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    I like the shootouts and reviews. Really don’t dislike anything here, keep it up.

    I liked last years Chicago r/c booth at the hobby show, and from what I saw I liked everything that you guys are doing. I wish I could give you guys advise, but I don’t think there needs to be any given.

  114. Jason Brewer commented thusly:

    I would love to see video reviews and unboxings.

  115. Ed commented thusly:

    The reviews and shootouts make the site.

  116. kirk attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    I enjoy the reviews. The shootouts are a real good thing to be able to compare products.

  117. Harry commented thusly:

    I like the fact I can go to a single place on the Web and find unbiased reviews of the new products.

  118. Al said:

    Hi guy’s i think you should work on the home page and make it less jumbled up there’s way to much stuff going on at onc… I guess just kind of make it simple looking.

  119. Andrew said this nonsense:

    I love the reviews, and especially the shootouts! Always entertaing stuff on here, cubby is awesome, love reading his stuff. Keep up the good work!

  120. Daniel Anderson said:

    Better late than never…

  121. Jamie B's mouth spewed forth:

    I love the reviews and the shootouts. Great website!

  122. Chondrin said:

    Being on a limited budget, like most people, I do as much research as possible before a purchase. So, I love the attempt to be as unbiased as you can during shootouts and reviews.

  123. Ken said:

    I like how you guys will take the time to answer someones RC related question. No matter how minor or major you guys always take time to explain to them in great detail. Way to promote the hobby BSRC!!!!

  124. LOS JR broke a vow of silence to say:

    A link for just photos of vehicles that you guys have built or other people in our BSRC world can add to for our viewing pleasure. Something similar to Pro-lines Readers Rides. ;{

  125. Ryan said this nonsense:

    I like that you bash even the race rigs, there is a good chance that somebody buys a team Durango and it never sees a track.

  126. Sheryl said this nonsense:

    great info on the site maybe just make it less scattered around on the home page.

  127. Alyssa proclaimed on this day:

    I love the reviews and that u guys give way many trucks is awesome!

  128. Brian James said:

    Good bashing spots can be hard to find. I’d really like to see a section where viewers could submit known “bashin’ grounds” for their city.

  129. Justin P's mouth spewed forth:

    I like all of the articles. Reviews of new RTR’s and new parts that have been released. Would like to be able to comment from time to time but understand your reasoning for not allowing it. Keep up the good work.

  130. Brandon Fragassi said:

    I live the shoot outs… very informative.

  131. Jesse said:

    I like your honest opinions whether it pisses some people off or not

  132. Dougie's mouth spewed forth:

    Hi, I’m 9 1/2 years old and I have a short course truck for about a year. I like looking at your site but I wish you had more things for kids on it. But I will keep looking at you site anyway because it is cool!

  133. Jim opened their gaping maw and spake:

    I like the fact that big squid rc has so many giveaways. I like the unbiased reviews. I don’t like the fact that there aren’t a lot of people on the blogs. Other then that, keep on keep in on. Now enter me in the giveaway….please

  134. Justin C said this nonsense:

    I love the site but wish we could comment on more articles.

  135. Mike Kim said:

    I bookmarked your site on all of my web browsing devices. My IPad, IPhone, Laptops, work computer and even my wife’s smartphone. Lol
    Thanks BigSquid for helping me spend my money more wisely.

  136. Brad Harvey attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    Great comparative tests – very informative for those that are beginners, veterans – or someone like me whos getting back into it after a 7 year hiatus

  137. xerxes broke a vow of silence to say:

    need mo local get2gethrs. onse a yeer ante cuttn da musterd!!!!!!!

  138. Nick OConnor said:

    I love the shootouts you guys do but I wish there was even more of them

  139. Hank proclaimed on this day:

    I like how people can share about rc’s.

  140. David said:

    Giving away free stuff is always good. More Reviews. Technical section.

  141. Jude's mouth spewed forth:

    It is great that you are doing this. I like the contest I just wish I could win.

  142. Jason p said:

    Really like the lipo an radio shotouts. Keep up the good work

  143. Jose Reyes attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    I think you guys are doing great. You have been giving rc news relating current events and new upcoming items. The only thing I would like to see more is more BIGSQUID RC youtube videos. You guys do a great job. Overall Excellent Job!

  144. airmayle proclaimed on this day:

    I would like to see a little more videos. It doesn’t have to be review videos all the time, more of you guys in your element (bashing).

  145. Linus chow opened their gaping maw and spake:

    Your reviews are consistently positive, that doesn’t make any sense. The only brand that was disliked was redcat.
    Also, for your next lipo review just buy the batteries instead of only reviewing the ones you get send. With that in mind, where are the maxamps in your review. You seem to be using plenty of them.
    The more biased you are the more readers you loose, reading the forums it seems that your integrity is often in question, time to turn it around. Also comments will be ok on posts if you moderate properly.. Again, I know you don’t want to piss off advertisers but hey, that’s part of being objective.

    Sorry to be so negative, but that’s what I’m observing. I hate to see you guys go the way of rc car action, just ad after ad

  146. fletch commented thusly:

    Enjoy the site, check it daily. Only a couple of minor suggestions.
    long term reviews – parts availability/breakage/mods
    gathering of the bashers – I’ve only heard of one this year.
    Bash on!

  147. Robert R. said:

    Dont change a thing ,your doing Great.

  148. Rick attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    You’all do a good job at BSRC. I like being able to go to one site to get most of my RC news. Keep up the good work.

  149. Adam Watson opened their gaping maw and spake:

    Some reviews need more detail. I was interested in the Monster Energy drift car by HPI, your review was helpful, but upon further investigation, I found several details about the car that I didn’t like, ie: the way the wheels mount, poor placement of steering servo, not as easy to upgrade and modify as the Sprint 2 drift cars by HPI. Things that could have been addressed in the review. Sorry, I’m being overly critical.

    Last thing I really really really want, a video with every review, even if it’s only a minute of running. I realize this can be difficult if you don’t have a buddy with you to record, but I think it adds a lot to a review to see a bit of Big Squid bashing video.

    But you guys keep me coming back, so you’re doing something right. Viva BSRC!

  150. Ryan proclaimed on this day:

    How bout you release the review for the traxxas drag car and the inexpensive transmitter shootout we have been hearing about, I mean who are you guys, hpi? I.e. love the site.

  151. Jeramy Walburn said:

    I think you do a great job at all of your reviews, no suger coated fluff, and I look at your website every morning for the newest stuff out. Maybe do more builds with follow along movies and instructions.

  152. Eric's mouth spewed forth:

    I like your unbiased reviews the most.

  153. Hector J broke a vow of silence to say:

    Good job over all BSRC but if there is one thing you dont do enough is shootouts I would love to see more of them and thanks for giving us all an opprtunity to win a new rc.

  154. Tim Mastenbrook said:

    I would love to see more reviews. I know they are time consuming but I really like to hear REAL answers about how things perform,good or bad.

  155. Matthew Powers attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    WTF is up with the Chubby Report thing? I mean honestly what happened? Could you guys not get some chick on the rag to write it for you so you went with the next whiniest thing you could find? And his face is always blocked? What’s he think? That he’s Wilson from Home Improvement? At least that guys info was insightful and useful, I doubt Chubby could get Tim Allen out of a sticky predicament even if it was r/c related. And that Chester the Molester Mustache he’s rockin …W…T…F?!?!

    Oh yeah, please give me free iSht!

  156. Terry's mouth spewed forth:

    I think the website layout could use some work, the left pane for “recent reviews” only has a couple of items and then just becomes blank space for the rest of the page.

  157. Darth Dennis proclaimed on this day:

    No real complaints, but offering a video of you beating the $#@%! out of the cars/trucks would help those that rely on your unbiased (your strongest suit on here) reviews on gear to get. I like the written review, but video could add emphasis on what you are saying. Not to mention it would be humorous to watch!

    Keep up the awesome work!

    (and if you happen to read this, I do video editing work and would be interested in working with you guys.)

  158. Jory broke a vow of silence to say:

    I like the reviews based on how most consumers would use the vehicles, but I don’t like the constant bashing on Traxxas. They do what they do VERY well, just look at the numbers. You should be thankful for them. They have almost single-handedly kept the hobby alive and without them doing that, where would Big Squid be?

  159. Nathan opened their gaping maw and spake:

    The site rocks!! You guys always update your content so I always have something new to read when I visit daily!! Keep up the great work!! And giving back to the readers like this is just icing on the cake!!

  160. Lee's mouth spewed forth:

    I really enjoy your website. I especially like the shootouts, helps me figure out which products to buy. These contests you guys do are genious, they keep everyone coming back regularly! Thanks!

  161. Brandon Jury attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    Giving away free RC’s is a great thing because people that can’t afford them but love them get a chance to win one from you guys!! Setting up your website was the best decision! You guys are great!!

  162. duston15 attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    -I like the shootouts and the give aways, and the RC news
    -I would like more reviews, and more videos of you bashing (edit free is fine for me)

  163. groovechild77 said:

    whaaa!! i never win anything!
    p.s. your doing a great job
    need A TRACK AND BASH DIRECTORY!

  164. James's mouth spewed forth:

    Woot 1 in 166 chance :-)

  165. Christopher McBrayer broke a vow of silence to say:

    I like the product reviews and news. However, I feel the product reviews are sometimes and lacking and do not really tell you if you should buy somthing or not. I know its because you do not wwnat to make your sponsors mad. I just wish someone gave staight up RC reviews.

  166. Luke Ang opened their gaping maw and spake:

    Your reviews are very informative and clear. The shootouts are also very good as they compare the products based on multiple criterion.

  167. Monty said:

    I like that you care about RC and respect it as a suitable adult pastime!

  168. Shawn Kremer attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    The reviews kick butt and you guys give great product info all the time.. I would like to see more video’s of you guys bashing though

  169. Kenny's mouth spewed forth:

    I don’t like when this contest lasts for a week and you have to think of different ways to say the same thing. Was much better when you just wanted something witty.

  170. Old man Jenkins attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    I love your site!! Very informative!!

  171. Old man Jenkins proclaimed on this day:

    Love the contests…..even though I haven’t won,lol!!

  172. Fart Blossom proclaimed on this day:

    You guys do EVERYTHING right!!!

  173. Michael Drabing opened their gaping maw and spake:

    I Love the site!! Whenever im looking up a review on anything to do with rc i know i can count on you guys to have it. And im a basher so i like how u guys do your reviews you dont baby it u try and break it love the pics u post. But one thing i think would be cool is if u guys uploaded some vids of the bashing u do to the RCs. Other than that Keep up the Good Job.

  174. David broke a vow of silence to say:

    What??? Big Squid RC needs to improve??? Impossible…

    Need a reader’s ride section, and the “Bashers MOD(ified)Squad”
