Lexus RC Drift Video
Recently we posted information about the Team Associated Lexus RC F, and today we see a video collaboration between Lexus and drift guru Drift44. It’s a nice video with serious drift precision shots. I’m sure the outtake video will probably follow shortly showing the dozens of attempts to get it all right, but it’s still cool. Check it out below.

Axial Yeti XL Kit Unboxing
Most people don’t have a favorite tape color. Ours is green! Whenever the UPS guy shows up and I can see that green wrapped box, my heart starts to race. Yep, we got our hands on the new Axial Yexi XL Kit! We were pleasantly surprised to see five real tires and rims, giving us a legit spare. Another surprise [...]
New Big Squid RC Monthly and More Locations!
In case you didn’t hear, we were at eFest 2015 and met with hordes of people. The show is always a good time, and it’s a great chance for us to meet and greet with readers, as well as introduce new people to the site. While we were there, we were handing out the latest copy of the Big Squid [...]
SquidInk #18
Our latest SquidInk is probably a dream for many people. You think there are regulations now, wait till the scale gets a little larger! I’m sure there would be a line of kids and adults looking for rides, as long as 3DBill isn’t at the controls doing some insane flips and rolls. Click the image for the hires version, and [...]
To the Moron Flying the Quad Over I-290 Elk Grove Village IL
I will be the first to admit, we do a lot of dumb stuff here at Big Squid RC. Sure we launch things off roofs, sure we crash planes into cars, sure we drop quads out of the sky to hit them with a shovel, but we always do it as safely as possible. This morning, on my way into [...]
ECX Beatbox Unboxing
We recently got our hands on the ECX Beatbox and Kickflip 1/36 scale vehicles, and it was time to get them out of the boxes. Shocking note was the insanely small size of those body pins! You can see the comparison to a normal size pin. We will save our thoughts for the full review, for now enjoy all [...]
SquidInk #17
Believe it or not, this week’s SquidInk wasn’t really (Axial) Yeti inspired. I actually think it was 2 parts Monster (Energy), one part Slim Jim, and not sure what the other substance was that lead us down the path. Click the image for the hires version, make sure to hit those share buttons. Want to see the previous comics? [...]

Guy Attempts to Save Drone on First Flight
If you haven’t seen the video already, it’s pretty funny. What’s slightly suspicious is the way he’s perfectly framed in the shot. Having flown and tried to film many things with our drones quadcopters, it’s rare that we get it so lined up. Either way it’s an entertaining video. 🙂

Losi Micro Rally X Unboxing
Got our hands on the Losi Micro Rally X and thought we should bring you some unboxing photos before the testing phase begins. We try to do that in case we ended up with a lot more pieces over the testing process. A couple of things to point out, the new charger to help elimnate long charge times in their [...]
