iHobby Invasion Pictures – Part 5
Ok, so what’s with the picture of a bunch of shoes? I honestly don’t know. All I know is that when I showed up to take some pictures, the guys from Global/Hobby Shack all started comparing shoes and pointing out who’s were the best. When I took the picture, they thought I was a goof [...]
The Longest and Highest RC Car Jump EVER!
WOW! This is by far the longest and highest RC car jump video I have ever seen! (And I have seen a LOT!) Mike Ogle sent me this footage that he took in 1996/97 at the Dominguez Hill velodrome. There was a RC car speed run event there. I would guess he hit that jump at [...]
iHobby Invasion Pictures – Part 4
I was having trouble deciding what picture would lead part 4 today. I had a good shot of Tim Mohr’s 18th scale nats winner, complete with winning plaque and a new ad that looks like he is wearing a Santa hat. Or I could put up another shot of our two biggest fans. Both [...]
HPI Makes My Dream Come True!
For years, (literally) I have been asking body manufacturers to create a hearse. HPI Racing finally did it! It’s called the Grave Robber, and is modeled after a late 1950’s hearse! It’s made from .040 thick clear polycarbonate and is ready to fit the Savage, T-Maxx/E-Maxx size monster trucks. AWESOME! I can’t wait to get my [...]
iHobby Invasion Pictures – Part 3
Pro-Driver Adam Drake was there to help entertain the crowds. He looked like he was having a good time driving some 1/18th scales around and impressing the people with some driving skills. It’s always fun to see the pro guys a little out of their normal element where they can relax a little. [...]
New Venom Multi Charger
New from Venom is this 5-8 Cell Multi Charger. It’s an all-purpose charger designed to charge NiCD and NiMH packs. It has two different settings, 1.8 amps for larger capacity cells and .9 amps for those micro’s. The key to this charger is that it’s simple and easy to use, while also being easy on the [...]
iHobby Invasion Pictures – Part 2
Pro-Driver and good friend of Big Squid RC, Tim “Hollywood” Mohr smiles for the camera in the Max Amps booth. There was a ton of cool new stuff at the show. MCD, Vantage, Axial, and Schumacher all had awesome stuff to show off! Make sure to hit the jump at the bottom to see the full [...]
iHobby Invasion Pictures – Part 1
Lets start to get some pictures posted shall we? As you can see, it’s very hard work at these big events. All the pictures, all the news, everyone asking for my autograph and to have their picture taken with me. Here’s a shot of me with two lucky Big Squid RC fans. This is part one [...]
And They’re Off!
Team Novak Is off to an early lead with three press releases for new products to be seen at the iHobby Expo this week! I always love the early releases, it’s like seeing all the presents the night before Christmas!! First up is the Mongoose Micro Brushless System. The system includes the new Novak Mongoose Brushless/Brush ESC wired [...]
The calm before the storm…
Things were a little slow this weekend, and I’m going to assume the next day or so will also be slow. All the major companies and their marketing people are on their way to Chicago for the iHobby expo! I have a feeling it’s going to be a really great show this year! Here at Big Squid RC headquarters [...]
HPI Gives us the 1/5 scale Baja SS!
I love spy work! I know it’s not really a spy shot, but with pictures of the new HPI Baja 1/5 scale SS being VERY rare, this was as good as I could do. I don’t have a lot of details on the buggy, but here are a few.. should ship around October 31st, it will come [...]
Team Novak brings the news!
I was pleased and surprised to find four new press releases in my mail from Team Novak recently. I haven’t heard from them in a while, and I’d like to think that more and more companies are taking notice to the growth BigSquidRC is having. I have posted all four full press releases in the [...]
Route 66 Invasion is done!(now with video!)
What a cool event! We got off to a bit of a shaky start.. being the first time they have had RC’ers out there, nobody was sure what to do with us, what they would let us do, and what the reaction would be. That all changed when the first truck hit the first big ramp! The [...]
RPM Likes it Wide!
RPM has sent over a picture and press release for their new Wide Front Bumper for the Losi Micro-T. This is good timing with the new micro brushless people will be putting in this thing! The new bumper extends forward, is 25% thicker and of course carries their awesome lifetime breakage warranty! If you [...]
Wear it with Pride!!
Big Squid Shirts are now available!!! The first ones available to the public are the ‘Basher Approved’ shirts! They look awesome! I tried to keep the prices as low as possible. Since they aren’t being mass produced.. they are not as cheap as I would of liked… but at the moment it’s the best we [...]
