The “Hybrid Drive” technology allows for a smooth start from a dead stop. The full system comes with a backlit handheld programming box! (That I like!) It can handle up [...]

What a great show iHobby has been so far. We have met a ton of people this year. We have also had a chance to meet a lot of fans of the site which is really great! Now and then we tend to forget that more then just friends and family actually read the reviews and articles up [...]
Things were pretty hectic today at the iHobby 2008 show. This is the first time that Big Squid RC has had a booth, and first time we have had track time to demo our bashing ways. It’s great to see the reactions of people watching us launching vehicles into the air higher than anyone else even things about doing [...]
Wow! While we are still waiting on official numbers from the International RC Speed Challenge, Schumacher USA has sent word that a modified version of their Mi3 has set a new World Record! Check out that Schumacher Mi3 “streamliner” shot! This isn’t any of that ‘car on a string’ junk either! This is a RC car being [...]
Good evening, good morning, hello, hello- welcome to yet another edition of the loathed Cub-Report. So you like to go fast eh? Well, everybody does, that’s why we are in this sport. Word went public this week about this years big high speed run event. Nic Case, current pwn’er of all things high speed, worked with Castle Creations and RC Driver [...]
New from Schumacher USA is the Speed Passion GT LPF ESC. If you are wondering what all the letters stand for, it’s officially the Speed Passion Gran Turismo Low Profile Electronic Speed Control. My guess is, they would have to ship it in a very large box if they kept that name, so they went [...]

Let’s dig right in. Trinity announced a new engine line-up this week. Or should they have said “we will be importing a new engine line-up”? For years and years the Big T has done a great job of convincing the general public they actually make something. At least in their latest press release they state up front the engine is Sirio [...]
Ok, maybe not EVERY battery, but it sure would make a good attempt! The CORE RC UDC-20 balancing charger comes with a ton of charging leads! It is ready to charge just about anything right out of the box. It also has a integrated balancer for 2-5 cell lipo packs. LiPo balancing is all the rage [...]
As I sit here watching “Giant Squid: Caught on Camera” on the Discovery Hi-Def channel, I can’t help but to reflect on just how far BigSquidRC has come in the last 12 months. This site has come from a little known basher site, to one that now gets more hits than most of the mainstream rc magazines sites get. That’s [...]
Schumacher USA has announced a new engine called the Schumacher X28. This is the new engine that comes with the Fusion 28 which can hit 80mph! I saw this engine at the iHobby show and it looked really cool! The head on it was sweet. I’m willing to bet there will be a few [...]
Hot on the heels of their new brushless systems Schumacher USA has announced some new LiPo packs. The CORE RC 3250mah 7.4v now has a smaller form to fit those harder to fit areas. It has a impact resistant hard case with ‘cell shapes’ molded into the bottom that can key into those chassis that [...]
