Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Everybody’s Scalin! Coming to you from our new Big Squid RC Kentucky HQ, I have wasted no time in getting back into the swing of things. First up is the RC4WD Chevy Long bed build. Now not having done this before it should be a good time, I have everything I need from [...]
What’s going on everyone; the Scale shop has been running strong ever since we returned from Axialfest Badlands. With only two weeks left in the shop before the final move to Kentucky the scale crew has only been taking on small projects. Pitbull RC sent over some new 1.9 Rock Beast XL’s and a set of 1.9 Raceline combat wheels [...]
Axialfest Badlands 2022 was a polar opposite from 2021. 2021 was a mud fest filled with rain, when this year’s Axialfest Badlands was dry and hot. And that’s just the weather, this year’s event had more venders, along with one of the biggest night runs I have ever seen. The dry conditions made for fantastic crawling in the quarry with [...]
What is up Squid Nation, for a few weeks we been testing out the new Advanced Series LiPo Smart Batteries from Gens Ace. We have been using the 3s 6500 mAh 100c 11.4v and the 4s 10000 mAh 100c 15.2v. The New Advanced Series batteries from Gens Ace come with power gauge button, along with a diagram on the side [...]
Hello, every it has been a while, so let’s have some shop talk! Just as I anticipated the Summer has already been packed full of events, builds, and lets just throw a move across three states while we are at it. It has been about 3 months since I moved to the temporary house. Not having JuiceBox Off-Road Park to [...]
Beat The Creek is held in the charming southern town of Maysville, Kentucky. The town is filled with beautiful landscapes, farmland, and of course the property of Joe and Sue Hauke. Joe and his family open up their private property to host Beat The Creek. If that doesn’t say Southern Hospitality, then I don’t know what will. I can deal [...]
The ROCHobby TYPE82E RTR 1/12 Beetle is one of FMS’s top scale rigs. Opening doors, hood, trunk, working fan belt, detailed interior, and the ability to switch from 2wd to 4wd along with a high and low gear adds up to a wicked scale rig. When our running video came out, I felt like the film could have been better. [...]
It has been a while since we have revisited the RC4WD Trailfinder 2 Back to The Trails Truck. Since getting the rig over the summer, the truck has had a few adventures. It’s made a trip to Kentucky, Horizon Fest, and USTE 2022. But with that much travel and wheel time on any rig will start to show no matter [...]
Mark your calendars for May 14th-15th. Big Squid RC will be invading Maysville Kentucky for the 7th annual Beat The Creek! For a few years now I have been trying to get to this event. As life would have it, something would come up and make it so I couldn’t attend. Not this year, along with myself the Scalin’ Squids [...]
The Element RC Knightrunner is back in the shop for its next round of BowHouse RC mods. This time around we installed the N2R Steering Rack for Element Enduro IFS v2, along with N2R Aluminum Steering Bell Cranks for Element Enduro IFS, and Bump Stops for Element Enduro IFS. If you are interested in doing the steering rack, I would [...]
Farm Truck 2 has been a killer rig so far. From its maiden voyage at USTE 2022, to the miles it has driven in Juicebox Off-Road Park, the truck still drives like its brand new. Haven’t even had any bugs to work out, but when you use a GCM Racing Cmax 2 Chassis, Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster, and a REEFS RC [...]
Frixion RC has popped up out of thin air it seems, carrying an impressive catalog of scale and performance hop ups. We got our hands on a set of 1” Braven Ironside Scale tires with the Alien Kompound from Frixion RC. The tires look great, so we pulled in our FMS Model Toyota Land Cruiser into the scale shop and [...]
Hello everyone and thanks for checking out this week’s Everybody’s Scalin’. last week we attended the sixth annual ULTIMATE SCALE TRUCK EXPO in Williston Florida. This was our 4th year attending and the event keeps getting bigger and better every year. So, while we work on getting the Shop back in order, take a look at the first round of [...]
Hello everyone, and welcome to this week’s Everybody’s Scalin’. With only a week until the Ultimate Scale Truck Expo we have been wrapping up our builds and getting ready to hit the road. While I was weathering the bed for Farm Truck 2, I looked over at the FMS Models Chevy K10 and figured it could use some aging. Now [...]
The Element Knightrunner is back on the scale shop loaded down with some upgrades from BowHouse RC. So far, our Knight runner has had the Knight Custom’s 3D printed interior and front wheel wells. Adding those parts make the Knightrunner body pop on a on the scale chart. Now that we have the look we want, it’s time for some [...]
