A while ago a buddy of mine, Cody Johnson owner of Dixieland R/C, sent me a Boom Rod end set for our Axial Racing UMG10. Now, in the beginning of the UMG10 build I didn’t think twice about the Rod ends. As I was tearing the rig down the other week to install the Boom rod ends, I then realized [...]
Since the Axial Wraith 1.9 just received the prestigious Recon G6 certification, what better time than now to revisit our own Wraith 1.9 for a “what are they up to now” edition of Everybody’s Scalin’.Since the official review of the Axial Racing Wraith 1.9 the rig has seen little to no down time. The Wraith makes its way out to [...]
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s special edition of Everybody’s Scalin’ – Unboxing the Axial Racing Capra 1.9 Unlimited Trail Buggy Builders Kit. Don’t worry, I’m not going to show you 15 pictures of bags. Crawling comps have started to become more popular and Axial Racing has stepped in to make sure you have a worthy rig for crawler glory! [...]
What’s going on everyone, this has definitely been an interesting week to say the least and finishing up the RC4WD Trailfinder 2 kit with the 1985 Toyota 4RUNNER body set capped it off. This build took me a long time to complete, had a few electrical issues in the tail end of the build but all is good now! Doing The [...]
Last weekend I took a little road trip to Saranac Michigan for the DSM Off-road Great Lakes Gauntlet. This event is only 3 years old, yet has a following like it has been going on for 6 years. My buddies have been telling me about it for a year now so I made sure to keep my calendar clear for [...]
What’s going on everyone. For as long as Big Squid has been around there have been stickers. The oldest Big Squid sticker I have is about 6 years old and still looking good on my air compressor. I started to think about all the stickers we hand out at events and where they end up. Why not have a little [...]
Has anyone seen any RTR 6×6’s lately? It’s going to be an all out crawler war this Christmas with Traxxas coming out with the TRX-6. Fittingly enough I was already working on this weeks post before Traxxas did their “mic drop” and got the crawler world in a feeding frenzy. As soon as we know more info about the Traxxas [...]
I was going to talk about Axial Racing’s CAPRA vehicle but like all of you, I only know what we have been teased with. As of yesterday we can confirm it will have portal axles, something a lot of people have been asking for from Axial Racing. Perfect example of a company who pays attention to what people are asking [...]
I want to start off this week’s edition of Everybody’s Scalin’ with some sad news. Over the week the scale crawling community had to say goodbye to a very talented builder and fan of Big Squid RC, Jason Pierola. Jason will be missed by more people then he could imagine. Rest in peace Jason, heroes are remembered but legends never [...]
A little bit ago Traxxas sent us the new TRX-4 Sport with TRAXX, and if you haven’t seen our unboxing go check it out! I was skeptical at first about the new version of the TRX-4, I honestly thought they just put the TRAXX set on the Sport and called it good. As you can tell in our unboxing I [...]
Let’s jump right into the Pro-Line Racing 1977 Dodge Ramcharger body update! As much as I would have loved to be with Boss Man Brian for the Pro-Line Racing Unboxing Video I had a lot of scale off-road park issues to deal with. So, once I picked up the body it was a little over-whelming. Unlike most lexan bodies, the [...]
Axial Fest ‘19 is in full swing and for those of us who could not attend this years event you can always check out Axial Racing’s Facebook page for live videos. This year I was not able to attend due to the birth of my little girl who was born last Sunday. I won’t lie to you, I thought about [...]
Pitbull RC has some great products already, so when they sent us the new Kronik Shocks we couldn’t wait to try them out. The on-the-fly ability the Kronik shocks have are great for all you comp folks out there. I chose to put the new shocks on the Axial Racing Wraith 1.9, being that they are 100mm shocks, I figured [...]
Summer is in full swing and that means some very cool stuff is out for us to take advantage of. Just like the last “Take My Money” article, just because something is not mentioned doesn’t mean it’s not worth the money. The three products that make the article are hot at the moment, and it never hurts to have a [...]
Nothing says America like a good old mud bog on the 4th of July. Everyone decks out their rigs with the stars and stripes and it all around has a good vibe. I learned a lot from last years mud bog and I wanted this year to be real muddy. This time I took my tiller and I just let [...]
