A-Main Speedway Spring Fling 2014

Posted by Jeff on Mar 6, 2014 @ 11:31 am. Filed in: Events

Save the weekend of March 22nd and 23rd for A-Main Speedway’s 2nd annual Spring Fling in Pueblo, CO with a special event sponsored by us here at the Big Squid RC. You can get your fill of off-road racing with classes for pretty much every type of off-road rc vehicle in existence. 1/8th scale buggy, truggy, monster truck, electric, nitro, 2 and 4wd short course, a sportsman class for the newbs, and more.

Qualifying takes place on Saturday, the racing commences on Sunday. After the racing is done, it’ll be time to bust out some hang time in the Big Squid RC Big Air event thingy.

A Main Speedway is my local hobby shop and I will be there shooting a lot of pics. If you’re nearby come on down, find me and say “The crow kaws at the dawn of the first full moon.” That’ll be our secret code for “Give me free stickers or something*.”

You can sign up for this event at the RC Signups website and you can get more info by looking at that flyer up there or by hitting up the A-Main Speedway Facebook page and clicking over to the Events Section.

There’ll be door prizes, t-shirts, and more for competitors, plus lots of fun.

* Something may include, but is not limited to, a passionate embrace.

Unboxing – Speed Passion LM-1 LeMans Spec Racer

Posted by Tim Mohr on Dec 5, 2013 @ 1:12 pm. Filed in: Speed Passion, Unboxing

When Speed Passion first announced their new LM-1 LeMans car we were immediately interested. It’s a pan car so it should be fast and it has some pretty cool scale looks, nobody can resist that combination.

While we are finishing up the LM-1 review, have a look at the unboxing pictures. It comes in two boxes, a small box containing the actual car kit, and a larger box with the body inside. The biggest thing we noticed during the unboxing was how trick the multi-piece body looks. If it looks this good clear, it should really knock our socks off when painted.

Also pictured but not included in the kit are a Speed Passion Reventon S ($59) speed controller and a Speed Passion V3.0 17.5R ($49) brushless motor. We are looking forward to seeing how much rip these affordable units have during our review.

RC4WD…. EXTRME DETAIL Dash Kit!

Posted by Manny on Oct 13, 2013 @ 11:27 pm. Filed in: RC4WD, rock crawling, scale rc

I don’t know about you guys but one of my favorite scale rigs are of the Tamiya Hilux/Bruiser and the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 platforms. So many times I find myself on the fence about most scale interiors that it drivers me bananas! Ask around, I have been working on a one off interior for over a year(but who is counting). So if you look at this from a practical standpoint spending, over a Benji on an extremely detailed dash may not sound so nuts… This kit comes with everything on the dash perfectly molded, fully decaled and has amazingly tiny metal dash trim to boot. So unless you have a serious cad program and a super amazing Laser to cut these micro sized panels you had better get one of these ordered up pronto!

In the kit you will find:

1x Central Console
1x Base
1x Steering Wheel
2x Gear Levers
1x Hand Brake Lever
1x Metal Panel
1x Dashboard Decal Sheet
1x Steering Wheel Base
1x M3 x 12mm Self Tapping Screw (Silver)
4x M2 x 10mm SHCS (Black)
4x M2 x 6mm Self Tapping Screw (Silver)
4x M2 Nut (Silver)
