Sometimes people think I’m crazy but I just don’t mind handing over many of my R/C cars to just about anyone. The beauty of this car alone made most people shy away. It wasn’t until I told them it was a review car for Big Squid that they’d take the wheel. Assuring them not to worry if it broke (as [...]
THE Viper Copperhead R and VX4R.51 Sensorless Brushless Motor/ESC System ReviewTo really rip up the local bash spot takes some serious horsepower now days. I mean, since brushless has taken over the world every Tom, Dick and Harry are packing 500 watts (or a LOT more) of tire shredding power to the local Wally World parking lot. Do I have [...]
The Traxxas XO-1 ReviewWe finally got our hands on the Traxxas XO-1, easily one of the most talked about car releases of the year. This was Traxxas’s answer for a Supercar. There was controversy from the beginning, and there was also a lot of praise. This is probably the most anticipated and honest reviews of the Traxxas XO-1 you [...]

The Flyzone Sensei RTF ReviewWe don’t do a lot of airplane reviews, but we do have 3DBill, our resident pilot. Brian and Wrench like to dabble with flying now and then, and by flying I mean ‘Falling with Style’. So we know there is a little crossover with bashers and the flying scene, so why not review a couple of [...]

THE Speed Passion Competition Version 3.0 Sensored 17.5R Brushless Motor ReviewAre 17.5 sensored motors strictly for the racing crowd? Many people would say yes, but I’d argue that they can make great basher motors as well. A typical sensored 17.5 offers buttery smooth take offs from a dead stop, long runtimes and controllable power- a perfect set-up for noob [...]
The Jigs Up – Soldering Jig ReviewBeing the wrench for Big Squid, I am always on the lookout for ways to make my job easier. Getting trucks ready for testing and bashing takes up a good chuck of my time. So, when I see something that can cut that time down, I grab it! Lets see if [...]
