I wanted to take a moment to say thanks to everyone that made this year’s iHobby Expo such an amazing experience. I’m not sure I can put into words the feelings I have had these last four days. From the thousands of screaming fans (literally.. wait for the video in a few days!) to the [...]
Wow!! What a public day for the show. We will have some full write ups soon, but it’s back to the show, and I wanted to get out a quick update! First off the show was packed! TONS of people. Second, Big Squid RC easily had the BEST demos and crowd reactions ever! Ask anyone that was at the [...]
Yesterday we reported on the new 1/16th scale vehicles E-Revo and Slayer EX, and today we have a few more pics with the prototype bodies! Even more important is the new 2.4ghz TQ radio from Traxxas! Wow! I didn’t see this one coming either. I don’t really have a lot of details on it, and will do my best [...]
What a great show iHobby has been so far. We have met a ton of people this year. We have also had a chance to meet a lot of fans of the site which is really great! Now and then we tend to forget that more then just friends and family actually read the reviews and articles up [...]
Ok, this was probably the biggest surprise of the iHobby Expo for 2008 so far! Hidden away in this little glass case were these two VERY early prototypes, so early, that they were almost models. The 1/16th E-Revo featured a brushless motor, while the Slayer EX had a brushed setup. They have oil filled shocks, [...]
Things were pretty hectic today at the iHobby 2008 show. This is the first time that Big Squid RC has had a booth, and first time we have had track time to demo our bashing ways. It’s great to see the reactions of people watching us launching vehicles into the air higher than anyone else even things about doing [...]
We made it! The first Big Squid RC video ever posted to YouTube now has over 2 million views! Wow! It’s awesome to be able to support not only the RC Drag Racing community, but just the overall RC community! A few months back I was in line for food at motorcycle stunt show, I had my Big Squid RC T-Shirt [...]
As Cubby mentioned earlier, iHobby Expo 2008 is coming up! This is the first year that Big Squid RC will have a booth at the show, so we decided to go BIG! How Big? We are the demo track sponsor! How nuts is that?! We called up a few pro drivers to put up some big [...]

Check out that Schumacher Mi3 “streamliner” shot! This isn’t any of that ‘car on a string’ junk either! This is a RC car being [...]
The biggest news this week turns out to be about one of our sports most elite racers, Jared Tebo. When you think of the biggest drivers in our sport right now, it typically boils down to this- if you are a “Losi” guy, you think Drake, if you are an “Associated” guy, you think Tebo. Jared is arguably the best [...]
