Hello everyone and sorry for the absence, with so much going on at Big Squid RC, I haven’t had the time to get much writing done, until now. In a way the worlds have aligned, I am now able to give the Squid my full attention. That means more videos, more articles, and faster turn around time on builds and [...]
After we got our Cen Racing Ford F-450 Dually back from 1:10 Rod Shop I did not think I could get much cooler. But Cen Racing has sent us over a massive amount of hop ups for the rig, so now will perform as well as it looks!Right off the bat there are a few parts that will be installed [...]
The CEN Racing Ford F-450 Dually is an extremely popular rig that is for sure, a first of its kind and looks stunning to boot. 1:10 Rod Shop has taken that extra step in making the CEN Racing Dually even better looking with their mods for the rig. From custom grills to marker lights and even painted door handles, 1:10 [...]
Have you ever wondered what an RC company looks like from the inside? Is it like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory with tons of wild and crazy adventures, or is it like just another boring office with casual Fridays and TPS reports? While on vacation in Southern California I got the opportunity to check out REEFS RC’s main office and really [...]
This week we have the unboxing video of the WPL Toys KEI Truck we received from RC Pit Products. Out of the box the WPL truck is a blast, was even driving it around in the scale shop. If you are considering picking one up, I would suggest in doing so. For the price of 70 Bucks give or take, [...]
We have come down to our last round of pictures from The Ultimate Scale Truck Expo. This year’s event was special, not that USTE is never amazing but this year had an atmosphere that I have never seen at any events from the past. Maybe it was the fact that people are ready to move on from the year of [...]
Hello everyone hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Last night while laying on the couch in a paralyzed state due to the amount of food I consumed I was watching some videos on YouTube and stumbled across two channels that grabbed my attention. The first video comes from Obier RC, the film is very cinematic and well shot. The TRX-4 [...]
A while ago a buddy of mine, Cody Johnson owner of Dixieland R/C, sent me a Boom Rod end set for our Axial Racing UMG10. Now, in the beginning of the UMG10 build I didn’t think twice about the Rod ends. As I was tearing the rig down the other week to install the Boom rod ends, I then realized [...]
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? The Batmobile is the most iconic superhero vehicle on the planet. The 1966 Batmobile really started it all. Fast forward to 1989, which in my opinion, is the best looking Batmobile ever made, the Michael Keaton Batmobile. Next, in 1995 we had the Val Kilmer Batman Forever Batmobile. The [...]
I always like to see when people mirror their 1:10 vehicles to look like their 1.1 vehicles. This Everybody’s Scalin’ Spotlight is all about that. Straight out of Plano Texas, Lane Muropa has achieved the scale mirror trick with his Volkswagen Beetle. Whenever I see an old Beetle or Punch Buggie I always think of Herbie the Love Bug. But [...]
I have had quite a few newcomers to the hobby ask me this simple statement, but complex question; “how can I make my crawler perform better”. While there are a multitude of different ways that one can increase the performance and ability of their crawler, one of the easiest and most impactful change that someone can make to their crawler [...]
I know BigSquid RC is all about Bashing, but when a chance to go to a two day race event came up, I couldn’t resist. I will be taking you all along for the ride, from packing and prepping, to the driver stand, and beyond. We start the night before, as I pack up my tools and pit gear. We start [...]
Cruising around the web today, and I couldn’t help but enjoy the newest creation from Oscar Mayer, the Wiener Rover! With the chassis of a 1/5 scale RC car, this bad boy will bash its way to you delivering delicious hot dogs! Check out the video above!
Since the beginning of Big Squid RC, we have always posted the occasional RC Boat News in our rc-boat tag, and we have also posted RC Plane News under our RC Plane tag. While 99% of our news is surface related, as bashers we tend to dabble in other things. Most of us here own or have owned several boats, and [...]
