I know a lot of people have probably been waiting for this. The O’Donnell Super Sport .21 Engine! Designed in the USA by Steve O’Donnell. I met him at the iHobby show. Cool dude! The engine is a whole new design from the ground up! I like that. It will be interesting to hear how it does [...]
For those RC tank people out there, VSTankUSA brings these 1/24 scale battle tanks. The Russian T-72 and Japanese Type 90. The Turrets can rotate up to 330 degrees and the guns move up and down. Up to six tanks can battle it out shooting infrared beams! For more info, you can check [...]
Last night I had the Duratrax Evader EXT out for some testing at the local track. I have been banging on it for a little while, and wanted to try it in all conditions. After putting on a new set of tires that could get good traction on the clay at the track, I have to say [...]
Today we have a few cool new products from Pro-Line Racing. First up is this 1980 Chevy K10. It’s sized to fit the Traxxas Stampede or similar trucks in the rc rock crawler genera. Very cool. Speaking of cool, check this body out! It’s called the Boulder Holder. It’s sized to fit the [...]
Hey All, Just wanted to drop a quick post and let everyone know I’m alive and well. I had a small personal emergency last week and was tied up here for a bit. Everything should now be getting back to normal. Thanks for your patience, and I now return you to your regularly scheduled program. Lets BASH!
Today I got my hands on the new Duratrax Evader EXT! As always with Duratrax, the paint job is awesome! Every vehicle they do has an awesome look. Giving the whole vehicle a few twists and turns, it feels like this ride is going to be able to take a real beating! It comes with [...]

Ok, so what’s with the picture of a bunch of shoes? I honestly don’t know. All I know is that when I showed up to take some pictures, the guys from Global/Hobby Shack all started comparing shoes and pointing out who’s were the best. When I took the picture, they thought I was a goof [...]
WOW! This is by far the longest and highest RC car jump video I have ever seen! (And I have seen a LOT!) Mike Ogle sent me this footage that he took in 1996/97 at the Dominguez Hill velodrome. There was a RC car speed run event there. I would guess he hit that jump at [...]
I was having trouble deciding what picture would lead part 4 today. I had a good shot of Tim Mohr’s 18th scale nats winner, complete with winning plaque and a new ad that looks like he is wearing a Santa hat. Or I could put up another shot of our two biggest fans. Both [...]
For years, (literally) I have been asking body manufacturers to create a hearse. HPI Racing finally did it! It’s called the Grave Robber, and is modeled after a late 1950’s hearse! It’s made from .040 thick clear polycarbonate and is ready to fit the Savage, T-Maxx/E-Maxx size monster trucks. AWESOME! I can’t wait to get my [...]
Pro-Driver Adam Drake was there to help entertain the crowds. He looked like he was having a good time driving some 1/18th scales around and impressing the people with some driving skills. It’s always fun to see the pro guys a little out of their normal element where they can relax a little. [...]
New from Venom is this 5-8 Cell Multi Charger. It’s an all-purpose charger designed to charge NiCD and NiMH packs. It has two different settings, 1.8 amps for larger capacity cells and .9 amps for those micro’s. The key to this charger is that it’s simple and easy to use, while also being easy on the [...]
Pro-Driver and good friend of Big Squid RC, Tim “Hollywood” Mohr smiles for the camera in the Max Amps booth. There was a ton of cool new stuff at the show. MCD, Vantage, Axial, and Schumacher all had awesome stuff to show off! Make sure to hit the jump at the bottom to see the full [...]
Lets start to get some pictures posted shall we? As you can see, it’s very hard work at these big events. All the pictures, all the news, everyone asking for my autograph and to have their picture taken with me. Here’s a shot of me with two lucky Big Squid RC fans. This is part one [...]
