Well, someone had to go and wake up the sleeping giant that is Traxxas. A few weeks ago Traxxas dropped a bombshell otherwise known as the TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6. The pictures alone sparked up a fire of conversation that consumed anything else that was happening in the scale world. So how did Traxxas do with their first [...]
As you may have seen, we have gotten our hands on the Traxxas TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz 6×6 as well as the Axial Racing SCX-10 II UMG 6×6 from Horizon Hobby. We have been working hard on the reviews of both vehicles, and during the testing, both happened to be on the course at the same time. What better way to do [...]
Enjoy this throw back video footage of the 1985 Toyota 4runner body on a RC4WD Trailfinder II chassis. Jeremy has been building this truck for a while, and the passion he pumped into it shows! The build also has a high/low gear transmission, and detailed interior. Did our best to clean those VCR heads on the recorder, Jeremy insisted the [...]
We had the new Traxxas TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz 6×6 out for some testing, and shot some amazing video. Jeremy did an awesome job of getting some really tough shots of the truck. So far this truck is a serious monster eating everything in it’s path! Enjoy the video, and watch for a full review soon.Check out the official page for [...]
I was going to talk about Axial Racing’s CAPRA vehicle but like all of you, I only know what we have been teased with. As of yesterday we can confirm it will have portal axles, something a lot of people have been asking for from Axial Racing. Perfect example of a company who pays attention to what people are asking [...]
I want to start off this week’s edition of Everybody’s Scalin’ with some sad news. Over the week the scale crawling community had to say goodbye to a very talented builder and fan of Big Squid RC, Jason Pierola. Jason will be missed by more people then he could imagine. Rest in peace Jason, heroes are remembered but legends never [...]
Jeremy had the chance to enjoy a little slippery action with the Cross RC SU4 RTR in a light rain one afternoon. Got some great shots of the truck in action that we just had to share. Who doesn’t like playing in the rain?Don’t forget to hit the Official Cross RC US Website to check out their products, and [...]
If you couldn’t make your way out to Axialfest 2019, our good friend Greg from Horizon Hobby sent us a bunch of great photos. Most of these are of the vehicles as they were sectioned off and lined up for judging for various competitions. There were some really great looking vehicles out there. Did you attend? Leave a comment, let [...]
Axial Fest ‘19 is in full swing and for those of us who could not attend this years event you can always check out Axial Racing’s Facebook page for live videos. This year I was not able to attend due to the birth of my little girl who was born last Sunday. I won’t lie to you, I thought about [...]
We recently got our hands on the Axial Racing SCX10 II UMG10 Kit (you can see the unboxing here) and got it built. Jeremy did a great job getting it all put together, and we wanted to show if off a bit in with a cool video. It’s a good kit, and went together quite well, watch for the full [...]
We got our hands on the new Outlaw Rampage PRO from Kyosho, and we are excited! The Outlaw Rampage PRO is a 2wd off-road truck that ships in ARR form. (Almost Ready to Run). It’s about 70% done, and you’ll need to add your own electronics. We really like the options to change things up like the grill and spare tire [...]
A while back we got our hands on the 1/5 Scale Redcat Racing Clawback, you can watch the unboxing Right Here on BigSquidRC, and yea it’s huge! before we got to drive it, there are a few of us around the office that have been saying the next step/trend for the scale/crawling guys has to be bigger. Now that we [...]
Axial Racing is keeping the scale train moving with the release of the Wraith 1.9″ from Horizon Hobby. They have gone above and beyond when it comes to listening to the fans on this one, so lets take more in depth look and see if they succeeded to make those fans happy. From: Axial Racing Direct Link: Axial Wraith 1.9″ – RTR [...]
If you didn’t make it over to the Beat the Creek event in Kentucky, the folks over at Traxxas have a nice write up, plenty of photos, and a sweet video that we will link below. It looks like it was a pretty awesome event. We are really digging some of those cool course designs and challenges!Make sure to [...]
After recently having built an Axial Bomber, it was in many ways a liberating experience to build a drift kit. My bomber was heavily upgraded from the start, with lots of aluminum, stainless steel, M4 hardware, massive power – the works. I looked at every single piece of it and considered whether it was likely to endure the (ab)use I [...]
