While we were hanging out at the Traxxas TORC Series over the weekend, we ran into Justin Folkman and his son Jason. They were working on their Short Course Kart, and it caught our attention. I’m not sure what scale you would call it, but it’s almost 1/2 scale. What really surprised us is that Jason is the driver, and he’s [...]

The track was described as hard packed, slick, and [...]
Yo MTV Raps and Happy Monday ya freaks, welcome to THE Cub Report. There was the Washougal Motocross National over the weekend, but all the attention has turned to Jeff Alessi/LaserGate.

Last weekend the Traxxas TORC Series once again rolled through Joliet Illinois. To many people that ment some good racing was in town, but to us rc’ers we were more interested in seeing all the rc gear that Traxxas makes.

First off, I’d like to thank this kid, whoever he is in the picture. Tim spotted him at the TORC Series event we all attended in Joliet last week. We didn’t give him this shirt, none of us know who he is, but it was just cool to spot someone walking around with a Big Squid RC shirt! As you [...]
Route 66 Raceways in Joliet Illinois hosted round 8 of the 2012 Traxxas Torc Series last week. While some TORC tracks are large outdoor facilities, round 8 was the equivalent of a supercross. The Route 66 facility is normally a half mile banked dirt oval, but when TORC comes to town they turn the infield into an off-road paradise. The [...]

The whole BigSquidRC crew had a great time covering the Traxxas TORC race at Route 66 Raceways in Joliet Illinois. One of the coolest things we saw at the TORC series in Joliet was the Traxxas Buggy driven by 14 year old Mitchell DeJong. Mitchell was an inspiration to everyone in the stands, wheeling the Traxxas sponsored Super Buggy through the [...]
