There are always new companies coming into the rc scene, but we don’t think there is a more exciting new company for bashers than Rlaarlo. They’ve proven they can put out a great rock crawler, they’ve proven they can put out a great rally car, and now we’ve finally gotten a chance to see just how one of their true [...]
Just a few years ago not many people knew about Rlaarlo, but that has all changed today. With a wide variety of products ranging from high-speed cars to crawlers, Rlaarlo is attempting to take over the rc world with affordable, high quality rc cars. A few weeks ago we were shipped Rlaarlo’s XTS-S10 4WD Brushless RTR Rally Car to see what [...]
As we enter indoor race season, the Big Squid Bash Crew decided to check out the Team Saxo 1/8 RC Go Kart Kit ARTR. Designed to be affordable, yet scale realistic, we got a chance to build and bash one the Go Carts to see how it stacks up. Featuring a carbon fiber chassis, and a large driver figure, the [...]

With the mini and micro scene getting bigger each day, the need for high quality upgrade parts gets bigger as well. A new entry into this field is Vast RCX. Vast RCX is dedicated to producing high quality upgrade parts that are not only stronger than stock, but also more adjustable. Recently we got a bunch of Micro-B upgrades from [...]
The crew over at IMEX RC are some of the most hardcore you’ll find in rc. They’ve been supporting this industry before many of our staffers were even born, LOL, and we have a feeling they’ll still be around for a long time to come. For the last few weeks we’ve been driving and reviewing the IMEX 1/16 Bolt RTR [...]
A couple weeks ago we did our first review of an IMEX RC vehicle and this week we are doing our very first Rlaarlo review! Rlaarlo (pronounced Ray-La-Low) is relatively new on the rc scene, but have already made a big splash with their scale crawlers and monster trucks. For the last few weeks we’ve been testing their 1/12 XTS-P12 [...]
Recently the crew at IMEX RC sent us one of their Exterminator 1/12XL Brushless 4×4 RTR Stadium Trucks for review. The Exterminator is small enough to be driven in areas where larger trucks can’t go, while also being big enough to handle rough terrain outdoors. After putting the Extreminator through the wringer for a few weeks, we learned a lot [...]
We’ve long been huge fans of Hitec battery chargers and recently we got the chance to review their new RDX1 200 Smart Charger. The new Hitec packs solid charging power of up to 12 amps, the ability to connector to your computer to store pack information, and is street priced at under 80 bucks. We’ve been using (read- abusing) the [...]

The Element RC Enduro Bushido Trail Truck is now available in Green. It’s no secret that I’m an 80’s nostalgia nut. And by the looks of it, so is Element RC. We missed our first chance at the Bushido when it came out, but not this time! So, lets jump in a see what this little green truck has to [...]
Here ya go rally race fans, CEN Racing has dropped their new 1/8 2023 M-Sport Ford Puma Rally RTR. With incredible scale looks and a beefy 4wd drivetrain, the new CEN is posed to be a genuine winner in the marketplace. Even better, with me supporting Red Bull before the product even came to America, the CEN is one of [...]
RC4WD has just dropped the scale Mic with the release of the new Trail Finder 2 LWB Chevrolet Scottsdale body set! Ever since the RC4WD Blazer body set came out, it has been a very popular body for scale builders. I myself have built 4 of them, and plan on a few more down the road. Turning the Blazer into [...]

After years of waiting, the predecessor to the Redcat Gen8 has finally arrived. As the proud owner of three Gen8/Gen8 P.A.C.K. rigs, I was thrilled to find out that Redcat was shifting its focus back to trail trucks with the release of the Gen9 International Scout 800A. And I was ecstatic when they shipped a pre-release model my way for [...]
