The stand allows you to mount and lock the vehicle in place, has a wide base with adjustments for all types of cars and trucks. It also has a pivot ball [...]
Click to embiggen [Update: These polls are now closed, check the front page soon for the next round of March Bash-ness 2012!] Round 1, part 1 is closed and four on the left side of the bracket are still standing. In a match that was much closer than we thought it was going to be, the ThunderTiger MT4-G3 barely managed to outrun [...]
When a company that has already earned one Basher Approved award steps up with something new, we definately take notice. EDS Racing has a new tool up their sleeve with their new Combo Quick Drive. As the name suggests, it’s a new combination allen driver that includes seven tips that store neatly in the handle. It’s available in metric, SAE, [...]
New from AJS Machine is the T-MAXX 3.3 Stand that allows you to securely hold your T-Maxx for display, wrenching, or engine running without fear of it getting away or falling. This new stand is set for the extended chassis, and is only meant for the latest Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3. If you are in need of a new stand, [...]
Over the weekend, Wrench picked up his HPI Racing Apache C1 and dropped off the pics of the unboxing. We should have one to beat on in the office very soon as well, so expect a pretty in-depth review as we put the new buggies to the test! #gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-3 img { border: 2px [...]
4 days, 19 hours, 17 minutes and 34 seconds till the cars roll off in Melbourne, the F1 season can’t get here fast enough to suit me. Let’s hope it’s not another Red Bull runaway season like last year, and that Schu, Ice Creme Kimi, and Kamui all make visits to the podium! March Bashness is fully underway at [...]
In most trucks popping in a new Lipo battery is easy, they just drop right in! Unfortunately that isn’t the case with the Helion Dominus. Stock, the battery tray in the Dominus is set up for use with the included 7 cell 1800 mah Ni-MH. When attempting to drop in a ROAR sized Lipo you will find the stock battery [...]

We got our hands on the new Traxxas 1/16 scale Grave Digger, but I’m not sure if this is a unboxing or a un-packing. Our new Grave Digger was just begging to be let out of it’s home when it arrived. The truck with the radio barely fits, to the point of it’s more a releasing. The truck sticks it’s [...]
Duston, the winner of our Big Squid XO-1 Contest sent in a couple of pictures after the package arrived at his house. He looks pretty happy! Congrats again Duston!

So if you happen to miss a review recently, make sure you head over and get caught up! From mini to 5th scale, supercars, batteries, chargers and even planes! We [...]
New from Team Associated is the TC4 Club Racer chassis. The press release called it a rolling chassis, but since you don’t get wheels/tires I’m sticking with chassis. It will take most 1/10th scale on-road bodies, electronics and wheels/tires. Comes with 22 ball bearings, CVD’s, it’s 4WD, and there are a TON of aftermarket parts for the TC4. For [...]
Hi Brian and Squiddy! I am really fascinated and really wanted to own Savage Flux XS as my first decent RC. I’ve seen a lot of reviews but yours finalized my decision to purchase one. However, with all the reviews I’ve seen so far, nobody mention (or maybe I missed those parts) about the run time of lets say 2s [...]
Sometimes people think I’m crazy but I just don’t mind handing over many of my R/C cars to just about anyone. The beauty of this car alone made most people shy away. It wasn’t until I told them it was a review car for Big Squid that they’d take the wheel. Assuring them not to worry if it broke (as [...]
