Up until recently, I would occasionally chime in with some random rc bashing story that usually involved the Big Squid RC crew up to something dumb while out and about. Usually along the lines of some sort of demolition derby, or being yelled at for going the wrong way at the track (on purpose), but those stories started to become few and far between. It’s not that I don’t have the stories, it’s just that I wasn’t sure anyone was reading them.
A few days ago I was talking to someone who said “Big Squid hasn’t updated lately!” and my reply was “Are you nuts?! With the addition of new writers like Jeff helping out with reviews, and the daily news, we have been posting more than ever!” (BTW, Jeff’s doing an amazing job, keep up the great work!) , to which I got back “No, BIG SQUID does not update, there have been no stories, no crazy ramblings on, it’s just been news and reviews.”. “Oooh.”
Now I’m not sure if this is just an isolated case, and I happen to run into the one fan I have in the world, or if people have in fact been missing the little ramblings (at least, in my head, I imagine many, many of them do) I will do my best to bring back these little segments. I have a ton of them to share.. there’s one in my head at this very moment, I’ll save it for another post. From me to my fan, in the words of the amazing LL Cool J… “Don’t call it a comeback, I’ve been here for years, Rockin my peers and puttin suckas in fear…”

Does ROAR have a beef with Pro-Line? They must have, because their recent ruling against the new PL Bulldog buggy bodies makes no sense otherwise. 8th scales have always looked Martian- they’ve never had a full size counterpart to emulate. To deem the Bulldog “illegal” because it doesn’t look realistic enough is a farce, and a waste of time and resources. While Traxxas, Losi, and Associated are pouring literally millions of dollars into cross advertising to the mass market, ROAR is fart’n around deeming one Martian body illegal, while every other Martian looking body remains legal. Just an FYI to the powers that be, your primary focus now should be keeping all those mass market noobs that Traxxas, Losi and AE are recruiting in the hobby. If done right, ROAR will have numbers that were previously unthinkable, if done wrong, they’ll have the same 1,500 members they’ve had since 93′. If the racing side of the hobby is to grow, the rules at the local level must suit the mass market noobs, not the local fast guy, and screwing around banning the Bulldog does nothing to accomplish this task.
Unemployed and looking for a job? How about a job in the r/c industry? If you live in or around Irvine, CA then you might be interested to know that
