Whats up gang, Evol here with my latest musings on RC Drift on the Big Squid of RC. So I know a lot of you look at RC drift and go, “man it looks cool, but I don’t wanna drop the cash to get into it”, or maybe its “My wife will kill me if I buy ANOTHER RC car” I [...]
Before getting started this week, we want to wish Corey from RPP Hobby / Gear Head RC a very speedy recovery from a recent accident. He and his crew are an integral part of the global scaling community, whether it’s selling their latest trick wheel or dishing out advice to a clueless newbie scaler on an internet forum. From all of us here at BigSquidRC, [...]

What’s up gang, Evol here. Finally got my hands on the new Sakura D4. Thought I might show you guys some initial images and early thoughts of this highly anticipated drifter. Early observations are that while the box denotes both AWD and RWD versions all the parts needed to build either are not included. This feels like something that may [...]
“Duratrax and Ofna Hello Sir, I was curious if you knew why Duratrax stopped making cars? I see that they make a 1/8 buggy but that is all. Also I saved up for an Ofna 1/8 Ultra LX2e and parts have been discontinued. I used to buy Associated and Losi but I think their prices have sky rocketed. That’s my opinion. Is [...]

It is easy enough to find an rc hydroplane video on YouTube now days, however, what you don’t see is someone doing it with a 5th scaler. Thankfully our own Craig “The Uber Ramp Guy” Nelson decided it was high time that someone cranked up the power in a Losi 5IVE-T and went for it. Take a good look at [...]
