Stopping by the Schumacher booth at the Nuremberg Toy Fair we were able to meet us with a good friend of Big Squid, Mr. Robin Schumacher. We have known Robin for a few years now, and it’s always good talking with him. He showed us the new Cougar SV2, check out that top deck! Also the new onroad Mi4 CXL. [...]
New from Traxxas is the 1/16th scale Grave Digger! We spotted it here at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Looks like it’s going to ship brushed with the Titan 12T, but knowing Traxxas, a VXL version is probably not far behind.You can see it will have the green highlight parts just like it’s big brother. Catch all of our fair [...]
Here are some pics from the RB booth at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Some interesting items, their new electric prototype buggy that was under glass. Looks pretty sleek, but hard to tell what’s under there. For the nitro guys, check out their new tuned pipe with no springs or rubber coupler! The pipes lock in together with a twist. Their [...]
Every so often a product is announced that makes a big impression, big enough that I just can’t keep from opening my big mouth. In the past I’ve done “special reports” on the Traxxas Slash 4×4 and on the Traxxas XO-1, both of which were huge news when announced, huge enough to be put in that exclusive [...]

Building on the Mini Trophy Truck line, HPI Racing has posted the first picture of the Coyote DB at the Nuremberg 2012 show. This Desert Buggy looks like it’s going to be 1/12th scale, and share a lot in common with the MTT. We will update with details if there is anything unique. Check the official HPI Racing site in [...]
HPI Racing seems to be ruling the Nuremberg show this year with all sorts of new releases. This one the HPI Savage Flux XS SS. I suddenly feel we need a ‘say it, don’t spray it’ category. Anyway, there are not a lot of details, but it sounds like this is going to be more of a kit version. [...]
A sneak peak from the Nuremberg show, it looks like Hot Bodies is going to throw their hat into the RC Rock Crawling arena with the introduction of their new Competition Rock Crawler. Only time will tell if Axial has some ‘Competition’ on their hands. The Hot Bodies website other info. Watch for our Nuremberg show coverage this week.
Remember a while back when HPI Racing hinted that they were going to go to gas soon ? Well 5 months later, here we are, and here is HPI’s new 1/8th scale gas engine! What’s really cool, is that it looks like they are planning for it to fit a lot of their 1/8th scale vehicles. They have a Gas Savage [...]
I was just going through all of the images we got from the Toy Fair, making sure I didn’t miss anything important. I believe I’ve exhausted most, if not all, of the big R/C news so I figured I’d throw this post together with some of the extras. The Nuremberg Toy Fair is more than just R/C, it’s [...]
Kyosho had a pretty substantial booth at Nuremberg, and they were showing off a ton of product. Some of it has been seen before, some are new updates to existing products. Mostly they dedicated their show to announcing price points for products that will be new to the European market. One item of note is their Inferno VE Race Spec, [...]
Robitronic unveiled their all new electric 1/8 scale buggy, the Vision, at Nuremberg. The Vision has been designed from the ground up for brushless power, it’s not just a simple conversion of a nitro buggy. The chassis is carbon fiber, with alloy inlays to aid in heat dissipation, one unique feature among many on this car. Robitronic is also touting [...]
Schumacher’s big news at the show was their prototype 1/10 scale 4wd buggy, the CAT SX3. The all new mid-motor layout and LiPo saddle pack configuration is said to offer great weight balance and much more agility. The inline motor and wheel rotation also aid in creating better jumping characteristics. It will be offered in two verions, the C/F Pro [...]
The biggest new item from XRAY at the Toy Fair was their prototype 1/8 scale brushless truggy, the XT8E. They were characteristically tight-lipped about specs, features, release timeframe, and cost at this early point, but it should be a cool new entry in a rather small segment. Being XRAY, the XT8E is sure to be an all carbon fiber race-bred [...]
