Win aluminum Slash 4×4 hop-ups from GH Racing and Big Squid RC!

By Jeff on Jan 11, 2011 @ 16:02. In: Contest, Site News

[Update:  This contest is now closed.]

It’s time for another Big Squid giveaway!  Actually TWO giveaways to be exact!  This time we have a whole load of bright and shiny hop-ups for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 from those masters of metal machining at GH Racing.

GH Racing has been awesome enough to throw a bunch of their great looking and awesomely durable aluminum parts into our prize box!  We have two complete prize packages, each one consisting of front and rear A-arm sets, front and rear body mounts, and front and rear shock towers, all together worth over $150!  One prize pack is made up of red and blue anodized parts while the other is all polished aluminum.  One of these packs would look great on your Slash 4×4 and make it much tougher for all that huge air that we love around here!

Plus, the winners will get a boat load of Big Squid RC stickers to spice up the outside of their ride as well!

All you have to do to be entered is help us test our new comments section.  Just leave a comment (name and valid email address are required, registration is not) using the form below this post.  But please read the rules below before entering.  And be sure to drop by the GH Racing web site and let them know you appreciate their generosity!

Rules: A valid email address is required.  You must be 13 years of age or older.  All entries must be submitted by 11:59pm CST February 25th, 2011.  Also, you can leave as many comments as you want, since this is a test of the commenting system, but you will only receive one entry in the giveaway.  We are able to track multiple entries by IP address and we know all the popular free proxies, so please don’t try to make up a bunch of names and email addresses to get more entries, it just spoils the spirit of these giveaways.  If you leave a comment that we are forced to delete (for any reason) your entry in the giveaway will also be forfeited.  The first winner we pick will get the choice of which color set they want.

[Note: Due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict we've had to move up the drawing date.  All entries must now be in by February 25th.  The winner will be announced on Sunday, February 27th.]

    mmmmmmmmmmmm……..funny, I just cracked a shock tower snowbashing.
    One would guess a new shiny GH Racing aluminum tower would
    be a perfect fit. Big Squid is so hot and tasty you could call it “Huge Calamari”

    p.s. don’t forget the marinara!

    Jeff's mouth spewed forth:

    Hey guys, thanks for commenting and all the love. You guys rock!

    Just to address a few of the comments so far. We haven’t fully committed to opening up comments on all posts yet. This contest is partly an evaluation of our commenting system and the anti-spam software we’re using. One of Brian’s big concerns about open comments is spam, and I’m sure nobody can blame him for that, it can ruin a site. But if all goes well on this post, our anti-spam works and moderating comments isn’t a huge chore, then we’ll be that much closer to having comments open on most posts.

    I also still have some work on my end as far as the development and design goes, there will likely be some changes before we pull the trigger. One thing I’m looking at integrating is Facebook/Twitter authentication, would you use that?

    It’s pretty obvious that opening up comments can help to build up the Big Squid community and we are looking very closely at that aspect.

    So, for now, please don’t get mad if you click through a post and find comments turned off.

    Also, if you want to customize your avatar, click on over to http://www.gravatar.com/ to set it up, just make sure you use the same email there that you used here.

    Finally, if you run into any problems trying to comment, shoot me an email: jeff AT bigsquidrc.com

    Thanks a ton guys,

    Jeff

    Heya! Thanks for featuring my blog post “Tekin RX8 Ripoff? Mamba Monster Clone? : What People Say About The Turnigy Trackstar 150A” – it really helped share the writings on my RC blog to many RC hobbyists around the globe. I’d really hope to write for your site one day.

    I’d also like to take this opportunity to do a big shout-out to all RC enthusiasts out there to check out my blog at http://hpisavagex46.wordpress.com, and let me know what you think of it.

    Lastly, but also most importantly I do hope I get picked for the great wares from Golden Horizon Hobbies. Awesome stuff. The last time I got GH stuff from Tower Hobbies for my Savage X, they lasted till now. Way way better than the garbage on stock Savage RTR sets.
