We would like to cordially invite you to visit our booth at iHobby Expo 2014. The show kicks off tomorrow morning in Schaumburg Illinois and we are located near the rc demo track in booth #1527. Thursday and Friday morning are for industry people only, but Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon are for consumers. When visiting our booth you can pick [...]
Soon we will be posting some new job listings for positions at Big Squid RC, but we need this one sooner than later. We need a video guy! (or gal) Someone that can not just shoot video, but edit and create awesome stuff! We could REALLY use someone for this week’s iHobby Expo! So if you are in the Chicago [...]
It is on! Our Big Squid RC 10th Anniversary Bash is coming up quick, and we wanted to give you a few more details. If you live within driving distance of the Chicago Area, and by that we mean NORTH AMERICA, you are going to want to figure out how to attend this one. Every bash we pull out some [...]
It’s time for our second edition of SquidInk! File this one under ‘If I had a dollar for every time…’. I’m actually not sure who’s in the lead, Wrench or myself, but it’s a big number. Imagine if we did more air than surface? We had a good response of emails to the previous comic, so hopefully this one is as [...]
Welcome to the first of many new features we have going on here at Big Squid RC. This is the introduction to our new SquidInk comic. (Get it? Squid ink…) We have a few great ones lined up, and hopefully it will be new weekly series. We are not 100% sure on the best day of the week, so we [...]
Since we just did a Review of the ARRMA Granite Mega Monster Truck, it seemed like a good time to have a giveaway for one! Don’t worry, the winner will receive a brand new one, not the one we used and abused during the review. We have heard people comment that they like the short contest times instead of the long [...]
Yep, it’s September 2014! If only there was some way to keep track of days so I would know what day to post the Calendars on! (I know right?) As always, thank you all for supporting and downloading the monthly calendar! It’s great to see 1000’s of downloads across all platforms including phones! The Losi Mini 8IGHT-T Truggy looked like a [...]
Sure, Kyosho is well known for their high-end racing gear and multiple IFMAR championships, but as of late they have been putting out loads of bashing style products. Their new Psycho Kruiser monster truck and fully RTR Dirt Hog buggy are prime examples of that. Lucky for us, the crew at Kyosho America were nice enough to let us take a [...]
If you have been reading BigSquidRC for any length of time, you know we are big fans of Pro-Line Racing. Their products are top notch, just like the people behind them. Yesterday we were once again lucky enough to visit the PL crew and learn more about what it takes to get all their uber products to market. During our [...]
This week the BigSquidRC Bash Crew is back in Southern California and yesterday we got a chance to hang out with the folks at Axial Racing. As seen in the picture above, we got a chance to bash with the Axial crew and I can assure you they bash as hard, if not harder, than we do. The more time [...]
So as you guys might guess, we aren’t big fans of Facebook around here. It’s like a necessary evil. Yea, we have a page, and yea.. everyone has one.. but we jumped off that rat race a long time ago. Do we really want to pay thousands of dollars a month for a bunch of FAKE people in a [...]
Welcome to August 2014! We can’t thank you enough for supporting and downloading the monthly calendar! It’s always cool to see 1000’s of downloads across all platforms including phones! The HPI Octane seemed deserving of this months attention. We have been beating on and testing this truck, and if you need an attention grabber, the sound of this truck starting [...]
Welcome to July 2014! As always, thanks for supporting and downloading the monthly calendar! It’s always cool to see 1000’s of downloads across all platforms including phones! With all the hype, it seemed only appropriate for this months model to be the Axial Yeti. The review has had a solid lock on the popular articles chart, and it won’t be [...]
And just like that, it’s June 2014! We are happy to see everyone really enjoying the monthly desktop calendars. Every month they get a ton of downloads, and even a pretty high number seems to be going to phones, so that’s cool! This month’s photo is the Carisma M40DT Desert Truck getting a little bath. This vehicle was a blast to [...]
I knew we were in trouble when we pulled up in front of the Axial Racing offices. You see Brian and I were dressed more for a boardroom than we were for walking around in the desert, and by the looks of the myriad of hardcore off-road vehicles in the parking lot, I doubted we’d be spending much time indoors.
