While most boxes that we receive for review at the BigSquidRC offices are pretty cool, the one with all the Kyosho tape really perked up the Bash Crew. You see, a whole lot of us around the office have been watering at the mouth to get our hands on the re-release of the Optima 4WD Buggy Kit. Needless to say, [...]

A couple of weeks ago we busted out our first Maverick RC review of the iON RX rally car, but we’ve also been working on a review for their iON XB 1/18th Scale Buggy. Maverick is a new name to America, but they are already well known in Europe and hoping to make a big name here in the states. The [...]
Scale realism isn’t just the latest rage for off-roaders, it extends to on-road cars as well. Kyosho made waves a few weeks ago when they first announced the Fazer 1970 Dodge Charger. The old school Charger is loaded with the scale realism that people are after, plus it comes with the innovative dDrive Orion brushless system. After we cracked the box [...]

Just in to the BigSquidRC offices is the Team RedCat 1/8 TR-MT8E Monster Truck. The big news is that it is the very first truck in the new Team RedCat high-end line of bashers, so we can’t wait to see how it stacks up against trucks like the Kraton, MT-4 G3, and Revo. As we tore the box open we grabbed [...]

As we are working on the review of the Axial Yeti Score Trophy Truck, we figured it would be a good idea to post the unboxing (aka before bashing) pictures so everyone can see it before we put it through the bashing ringer. First impression out of the box, it just seems bigger. Not sure why, haven’t even set it [...]
