Ok folks, this week in Monster Truck Madness I am taking a VERY hard left from the normal r/c talk, and giving you a quick and dirty review of a video game that came out last week. Yes, of course I’m talking about Monster Jam Steel Titans. For the PS4, specifically (I played it on my PS4 Pro). What I am [...]
Hola there fellow rc fanatics, thanks for making the click over to Big Squid for THE Cub Report. What has been going on in the world of rc? Lets jump right on in and find out… So ya, the BIG news from last week had to be about New Ownership for HPI Racing. Back in 2016 Ripmax picked up HPI, but [...]
What is going on Scalin’ world? This month has been a crazy one, that’s for sure. And it doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down any time soon. After Horizon Fest I had to take it easy for a couple of weeks due to my ankle. Ok, I may have went on a few crawls that my Doctor might [...]
“200 MPH??? You have officially lost your mind now. There is no way a 200 mph RTR is coming out. Come on now, do you really expect us to believe that “rumor”? Daniel T.” Cubby- Yo hey Danny, thanks for writing in. Per the norm, shoot me your snail mail for a genuine BigSquidRC sticker pack. So… about that 200 MPH RTR rumor. Hey, [...]
Greetings monster truck lovers, welcome to another edition of Monster Truck Madness. I am coming off another fun-filled racing weekend and am absolutely LOVING my BigSquidRC Boss truck. (P.S. thanks to my friend Danny Maass for the sweet photo of it, seen above). I detailed the build of it several months back, and since then I’ve been racing it monthly in my [...]
When I bought my first drift car, a MST RMX 2.0 kit, I spent a lot of time thinking about what body to dress it with. After all, the body is what you are going to rest your eyes on when you drive it. No matter how fancy and blinged up the guts of the car might be, the body [...]
Well hello there fellow rc fanatics, welcome back to THE Cub Report. Last week I did a bit of vacationing, thus taking a rare week off. The down time was muchoooo needed, thankfully the batteries got a solid re-charge as we head into the second half of 19′. The first half has already been wild enough, I wonder what the [...]
I was going to wait a couple of more weeks to post this Spotlight but I just couldn’t wait! This build comes from Josh Dutton A.K.A RC Everyday. Not only can Josh build some amazing rat rods but he builds some great scale rigs. Flash back to about 3 years ago when I picked up the RC4WD Blazer body and was [...]
What happens when a crawler guy takes a wrong turn? He gets into rc drifting! I like to believe that the first time anyone sees a car drift a corner, one will ask oneself ”Why is the driver turning in the wrong direction?” For it is a weird thing, seeing a car moving sideways around a bend with the wheels turned [...]
Have you ever seen pics or videos of solid axle monster trucks racing and thought to yourself, “I wish there were folks that did that around me?” Well, I’m here to tell you that, yes, you can get something rolling like that around you. I am speaking from personal experience here. A few years ago in St. Louis, there was no [...]
What a recovery week it has been as Cubby would say. You know an event was good when you feel you need to take a week off after the fact, and Horizon RC Fest 2019 was no different. Last years RC Fest was my first big event being on the Big Squid RC payroll and I was a little shy. [...]
“ARRMA Infraction Question Hey Cubby, After driving the Infraction do you really think it is an XO-1 killer? Does it get crazy at high speeds? How about those new tires? Thanks man, Donald D.” Cubby- Yo what’s up Double D? Thanks for writing in, as always, a snail mail for a sticker pack. Ya, so about that ARRMA Infraction, what is it like? Stock on 6S, [...]
Hey gang, it’s been a crazy busy couple of weeks filled with a lot of travel and monster truck action. As I’ve been on the road and in the air, I’ve been alone with my thoughts (always a dangerous thing, ha) and have been pondering many a question. – Is the massive Primal R/C Raminator going to be worth all the [...]
Wow, what a weekend eh? For many in the industry, last week was a big one and we hope that you too had a blast with some rc cars over the weekend. I am Cubby and this is my report, lets jump right on in… So the title this week is “Recovery Mode Engaged” and it is quite fitting. The BigSquidRC [...]
On Saturday, June 1st, the annual BIGFOOT 4×4 Open House took place in Pacific, MO. As is usually the case, it was a veritable smorgasbord of activities for the monster truck lover. Many of the team’s vehicles were on display for fans to get a close up look at, and various other monster machines were on the site as well. There [...]
