This week we have the unboxing video of the WPL Toys KEI Truck we received from RC Pit Products. Out of the box the WPL truck is a blast, was even driving it around in the scale shop. If you are considering picking one up, I would suggest in doing so. For the price of 70 Bucks give or take, [...]
This weekend my monster truck racing club FINALLY kicks off the 2021 outdoor season! I am pumped. It’s been a long winter for me. One of the longest of my life. I’ve spent the last week getting my race fleet prepped, with the biggest changes being in my Sport Modified Class rigs. This is the class where you must used a [...]
There has been a lot going on in the shop over the last few weeks, so I think its time for an update on a few projects. And for anyone who has tuned into the Big Squid RC Live Stream we do every Thursday night at 8:30 CT, thank you so much! We are having a blast doing it and [...]
I’m one of those people that constantly wishes I could get off of Facebook because I absolutely hate reading crazy political conspiracies posted shared by someone’s uncle, but I also know I’ll never be able to get off it since they effectively replaced message boards with their group pages many years ago. Whether it’s a classic pulling group where someone [...]
We have come down to our last round of pictures from The Ultimate Scale Truck Expo. This year’s event was special, not that USTE is never amazing but this year had an atmosphere that I have never seen at any events from the past. Maybe it was the fact that people are ready to move on from the year of [...]
The Big Squid RC crew has gotten bit by the drag racing bug, with more than a handful of us now owning no prep drag cars. Now for the Team Associated DR10 I will be keeping it stock for a while, or at least until I learn to control it better. Hone my skills with the stock motor before putting [...]

Happy Friday to you all, we have the next round of photos and video from the Ultimate Scale Truck Expo. In this round you will see the guys from Operation 11 Charlie Inc who are hands down the best group of people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, the monster truck show and sine, some trail footage, [...]
I’ve always been one to get lost in YouTube wormholes, especially when it comes to classic monster truck footage. I recently stumbled upon a video posted by the BIGFOOT 4×4 team that helps back up a point that I’ve been trying to drive home in this space for years- the absolute importance of sway bars on your r/c monster truck. The [...]
Hello everyone. Last weekend we were at The Ultimate Scale Truck Expo in Williston Florida and did we have a blast! While I am still going through all the footage along with removing mud from my ears, we have part one of our USTE 2021 trip done and some photos for you to check out. Thank you so much to [...]
If you are into to solid axle r/c monster trucks, what can really take the fun up a notch is having a good set of crushed cars to run over. My friend Christopher Davis has taken this to the extreme, and I just HAD to show off his work to you.He started off with various vintage style plastic cars that [...]
Those sneaky sneaks at JConcepts love to pepper upcoming product releases in the background of their YouTube videos, and they’ve done it again in a video they just posted. The pic at the top of this article is a screen grab. Knobby tires on the front, heavily shaved v-treads on the back. If you aren’t a hardcore 1:1 monster truck fan, these [...]
What is going on everybody? Over the weekend Team Scalin’ Squids made the final push for The Ultimate Scale Truck Expo. Its has been a fun year filled with lots of build nights, sleep deprivation, hours, and hours of conversations, and designing and receiving parts for all the builds this year. To finish it off we made a little video [...]
Hey gang, I’m here this week to show-off some brand new Pro-Line Demolishers, the Losi LMT-specific race tire release that’s about to start hitting your local hobby shops. I will be doing a proper review of the tires, but it’s going to have to wait a minute due to single degree temperatures and the constant snow which we’ve been receiving here [...]
