Upcoming Forum RE-Work Needs YOUR Input!
Hey all, Big Squid RC has never been known for our forums. Well, except for the Drag Racing Forum. If it’s RC Drag Racing you are looking to talk about, you have found the right place. For everything else though, our forums have been pretty general, and we have never really tried to hype them up. We know there are a [...]

Cub Report, Version 01.10.09, Keyser Soze Edition
Gotta love 2009 already. AMA Supercross is the first “big name” racing to kick off the new year, and their season opener last weekend in Anaheim was one for the ages. James Stewart could’a, would’a, should’a PWNED. But, after some brain fade and/or Yamabog, he took out arch rival Chad Reed (and eventually Kevin Windham), and finished the first round [...]
RPM Black Revolver 2.2″ Truck Wheels
RPM RC has just announced their Black Revolver 2.2″ Truck Wheels for the Traxxas e-Rustler, e-Stampede and HPI RS4-MT. The advantage to a molded black wheel is the constant color throughout the wheel. If you get a scratch or ding, it will be less noticeable because the color is always there. These wheels also fall under [...]

RPM Rear Mount for Traxxas Slash, Rustler, Stampede
New from RPM RC is this mount for a rear bumper or wheelie bar for the Traxxas Slash, Electric Rustler, Stampede or Bandit.

The new design means no more slotted parts hanging below [...]

Slooow Neeewws Daaay
I was figuring with all the big RC companies being out over the holidays I would start to get the flood of new press releases in my mail box this week, but at the moment it’s pretty quiet! Maybe nobody wants to try and compete with all the HPI Savage Flux news going around lately! 🙂 Anyway, if you have some [...]
