We have discussed the PPR RC Products wheel grips several times here, and we have just been informed they are having a winter sale on their Reptile Radio Wheels!

As quadcopters slowly takeover the world, the next big thing is flying FPV. We recently received the UDI Lark FPV Quadcopter to check out, and of course it was up to use to see if it could take the abuse of a basher. Did it hold up? Is it a decent quadcopter? Keep reading as we go in depth for [...]

Looks like Christmas is coming early from Axial Racing! Sadly this is the best shot we have of the new Axial Racing RR10 Rock Racer. It’s a 10th scale RTR that looks a bit like a cross between a Wraith and a Yeti. It has a few cool licensed parts like King shocks and BFGoodrich Baja tires on Walker [...]
As we are working on the review of the Axial Yeti Score Trophy Truck, we figured it would be a good idea to post the unboxing (aka before bashing) pictures so everyone can see it before we put it through the bashing ringer. First impression out of the box, it just seems bigger. Not sure why, haven’t even set it [...]

We were also very happy to see the way they work the third channel to launch the rockets. For details, head over to the official Dromida website. Watch for a [...]
Since every quadcopter on the plant pretty much has a GoPro camera attached, they figured why not get the rest of the money and sell the quadcopter as well. There isn’t really much information yet about it, but they did mention it will have a stabilization system. GoPro also released footage from their quadcopter, but of course it looks like [...]

U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today that they are creating a new task force to figure out the rules and solve the questions and problems ahead that will come from requiring unmanned aircraft to be registered. Now keep in mind, we here at Big Squid RC are all about safety and rules (for the most part) but most of [...]
Our HPI Racing Jumpshot MT showed up at the office, so it’s time for unboxing photos! During the unboxing we didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary, which is a good thing. No leaking shocks, no loose screws. As you can see it comes with every wall plug for every country you may decide to visit. We are monster truck [...]
