RC4WD TRAILFINDER 2 LWB 1980 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FJ55 LEXAN …

The RC4WD Trailfinder 2 LWB kit with the 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 Lexan body has had some mixed reviews. RC4WD is known for scale hard bodies, so naturally people were taken back when they found out that the new FJ55 body was lexan. We were just as surprised when the rig arrived at the Big Squid RC office but [...]

Joe and his family open up their private property to host Beat The Creek.  If that doesn’t say Southern Hospitality, then I don’t know what will. I can deal [...]

EVERYBODY’S SCALIN’ – FMS TYPE82E RTR 1/12 BEETLE TRAIL RUN

The ROCHobby TYPE82E RTR 1/12 Beetle is one of FMS’s top scale rigs. Opening doors, hood, trunk, working fan belt, detailed interior, and the ability to switch from 2wd to 4wd along with a high and low gear adds up to a wicked scale rig. When our running video came out, I felt like the film could have been better. [...]

EVERYBODY’S SCALIN’ – TIRES AND FOAMS FOR THE DODGE!

Farm Truck 2 has been a killer rig so far. From its maiden voyage at USTE 2022, to the miles it has driven in Juicebox Off-Road Park, the truck still drives like its brand new. Haven’t even had any bugs to work out, but when you use a GCM Racing Cmax 2 Chassis, Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster, and a REEFS RC [...]

We got our hands on a set of 1” Braven Ironside Scale tires with the Alien Kompound from Frixion RC. The tires look great, so we pulled in our FMS Model Toyota Land Cruiser into the scale shop and [...]

The Element Knightrunner is back on the scale shop loaded down with some upgrades from BowHouse RC. So far, our Knight runner has had the Knight Custom’s 3D printed interior and front wheel wells.

FAN SPOTLIGHT- CARNAGE!

A while ago I was watching one of REFFS RC live streams from a Hobby Town USA in Kennesaw GA. In that stream there was a build on the counter that caught my eye right away.  After some back and forth I was put in contact with the builder, Brandon McCullough is the master mind behind this wicked rig he [...]
