Traxxas has something new coming out on the 30th of November 2011! And that’s it really… We don’t know any more! There have been guesses that it could be a 1/5th scale or a 1/8th scale buggy, but nobody is 100% sure. At the rumor price close to $1000 it’s not going to be a 1/16th scale! Personally we are [...]
File this one firmly under the Rumor Mill. A friend of Big Squid RC, who happens to be in the know, just dropped by the IHobby booth and gave us this tidbit about the next Traxxas release. It could hit in the next few weeks, Traxxas is already taking dealer orders for it, and dealers are being told [...]
Not really. The only news out of the Traxxas booth at this year’s IHobby is some new paint jobs for the Summit. That’s all. Seriously. … … … Ok. While they aren’t showing it at IHobby, one of their guys told us they are definitely working on something new that should be out by the Christmas shopping season. It’s [...]
Pro-Line just sent us a sneak peek of some 3.8″ Trencher tires that fit wheels with a Traxxas style bead. These things are massive, and scream durability! They should keep your truck pretty stable too, with 1/4″ tall “H” shaped treads and thickened sidewalls. They will be available as the tires alone, or mounted on 17mm hex Desperado wheels. Keep an eye on the [...]
Traxxas 12800mah lipos Hi there just wondering if you have reviewed these yet and if you have, what would be a suggested ac dual charger to keep these bad boys fresh. Thank you Aleic G. Cubby– Nope, sorry Aleic, we’ve yet to test any of the new Traxxas packs, but I’m guessing some time in the very near future we’ll be getting some for review. [...]
Looks like Traxxas is getting around to updating all their vehicles to their Traxxas TQ 2.4GHz radio system. We will file this under rumor mill since it hasn’t been officially announced, but the scoop is the new Traxxas part number should be 7009, and will be listed as the Traxxas 1/16 Slash 4×4 VXL 2.4 RTR. As of this posting, [...]
We broke this thing a week ago… Now, Traxxas has made us look like Nostradamus by officially announcing the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Replica! Avaliable in 4 colors, completely ready-to-run, with the new all black chassis, the SVT Raptor can be yours around October 14th. Specs also say the truck sports new body mounts, a brushless-ready transmission [...]

For those that were watching the Traxxas TORC series on SPEED TV the other night, if you were watching closely you can see Wrench (Bill) and myself hanging out watching the pro TORC drivers race around on the rc track. It was 13 minutes of racing action.. apparently bring able to drive a full size TORC truck does not [...]
Last night a bunch of the Big Squid RC crew was out at the Traxxas TORC Series. As soon as we get the stuff processed we will post up a bunch of pics from the event, but I wanted to post up a reminder about it this morning. If you are in/near the Chicago/Joliet area, get yourself out there for [...]
Has it already been another week? Omg does time fly in the wonderful world of rc. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery right? I guess Xtreme RC Magazine really digs us then as they’ve got their version of Jeff’s long running “R/C Around The Web” column in their magazine now. And yes of course, Jeff’s version is vastly [...]
New from Traxxas is the Ford F150 Raptor SVT. According to the description, it’s based on the Traxxas Slash platform. We are pretty sure it’s a slash with a F150 body on it, but way it’s worded, it’s as if it’s a whole new vehicle. It comes with the Titan 12T Brushed motor, 2.4Ghz radio system, and BFGoodrich replica tires. [...]
Here’s a pretty killer piece of RC on TV! The Fox NASCAR crew and Tony Stewart got a chance to feel out the new Daytona asphalt using a Traxxas Slash earlier this year. Pretty awesome to see my boy Smoke holding a piece of Traxxas weaponry. Check out the video after the break!
For our readers who are not friends on the BigSquidRC Facebook page, (serious.. what’s wrong.. I thought we were buds!) Wrench posted a few CarTown pics over there. The first is the Traxxas Mustang and second is his BigSquidRC creation. Both look pretty sweet. If you are not a friend yet, make sure to hit that LIKE button [...]
