Thunder Tiger TTRobitix GHOST Quadcopter
Just got word direct from Thunder Tiger about their new TTRobotix GHOST Quadcopter! It looks like they are really going after the video/camera fans with this one because some of the features include an enlarged frame to accommodate other electrical systems/mounts, and make for easy mounting and retractable landing gear to keep them out of the view of the video [...]

RC On Top Gear UK – More RC on TV
Similar to Mythbusters here in the states, we can always count on Top Gear UK (yea yea, the good one, we know) to include some sort of RC madness every few episodes. Hey their intro used to show them holding rc controllers! This episode had Jeremy Clarkson pretending to be a police officer, and he was showing off all the new [...]
RC Drifting in LV Home Insurance Commercial
In the latest LV Home Insurance Commercial from our friends across the pond, a young boy has set up quite the RC drift track in hit house. Around furniture, the family dog, and even up onto the dinning room table. (I still can’t get away with that!) We love any time a company uses an RC vehicle in their commercials as [...]

Big Squid RC on Facebook
So as you guys might guess, we aren’t big fans of Facebook around here. It’s like a necessary evil. Yea, we have a page, and yea.. everyone has one.. but we jumped off that rat race a long time ago. Do we really want to pay thousands of dollars a month for a bunch of FAKE people in a [...]

We will post a bunch of pictures, and all the juicy details on Monday. We are pretty excited about this new upcoming release from Pro-Line. For [...]

Mythbusters RC On TV – HPI Savage?
We always love to see RC on TV, and nobody delivers more often then our friends at Mythbusters! On a recent episode called ‘Fire in the Hole‘, they were testing the myth if a grenade could be shot out of the air and diffused if it was coming right at you. Good info for sure, but they needed to come up [...]
