“Traxxas TRX-4 What’s up, Jimmy D here again! So I went my local LHS this weekend and spent 30 minutes pouring over the Traxxas TRX-4. Display model only, as the big green sticker on the box says. I have a SCX10, had a Trailfinder 2, and custom built rigs that cost way too much and still wasn’t what [...]
Well hello there rc fans, here we are again for another wonderful week in the rc hobby. With any luck you were able to pull some serious trigger over the weekend. I was also able to pull some trigger, running for nearly two days straight with the new Traxxas TRX-4. Our unboxing pics went live today and, if I really [...]
“Big Squid Track Build Do you know who could build me an off-road track? I was thinking 2200 sq feet of track. What’s the normal size for off-road? Dwayne A.” Cubby- Hey now Dwayne, how nice of you to write in. Don’t forget your snail mail for a sticker pack. So… you are wanting to build on off-road track and want some advice. Here [...]
Well hello there friends, welcome to THE Cub Report. I trust you had a great weekend filled with loads of trigger time, as well as at least a couple of hours chill’n with the person that brought you into this world. By popular demand, I gotta crowbar some Feld Supercross in here. Yes, I know it was an off week as [...]
“Pro-Line PRO-2? Hey Cubby, I was wondering if you had any insight or insider information as to what’s going on with Pro-Line? Their website lists the PRO-2 and PRO-2 Buggy as out of stock, most online retailers list those two as “discontinued”. Where can somebody find a quality non-RTR basher? I like building kits, but I don’t race, and the Tamiya kits [...]
Well hello there rc fans, welcome to this week’s Cub Report. Truthfully, I don’t remember how long the CR has been around, perhaps one of you super fans can look it up, but for a whole bunch of years THE Cub Report has been kick’n off your week with rc talk, rumors, and outright smack talk. Btw, bonus points to [...]
“Whoa!! Fantastic website Am I just lucky or did I find a kick a$$ group….BIGSQUIDRC Yes! I entered the the contest for the ARRMA Nero Big Rock basher winner!! Background: I am new to the RC world, I mean really new. I just decided to order the Arrma Granite BLX to get my feet wet. In the mean time, I am getting a [...]

So here we go… And the biggest news from last week goes to… Traxxas releasing what was essentially all the juicy details on the upcoming TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler. Up until 9 am CST [...]
“Collector Or Driver Hey Cubby Are you a collector or a driver? Everywhere I look in the online rc community people with massive collections, 50/100/500 rigs. This got me thinking of my few. Am I jealous or am I the only one that feels guilt if a rig is neglected for to long? Maybe it’s both but I drive all my rigs [...]
Hello one and all, welcome to Traxxas Ford GT week at BigSquidRC. Ok, so it’s nothing official, but we will have a lot of Ford GT coverage starting with an unboxing, then the review, then hopefully some video to boot. I can hear a bunch of you guys out there saying “We don’t care about no stink’n on road car!”, but [...]
“Photography I have been admiring the action photography in your reviews, do you have any tips for an aspiring rc photographer? Pete C.” Cubby- Heyyyy now Petey, what’s up with ya? Thanks for writing in and be sure to send us your snail mail for the hook-up on one of our uber sticker packs. Ya know, rc photography is not easy. I often relate [...]
Ya know, life isn’t all about rc. Well, it mostly is, but if you go 100% at rc all the time, you will get burnt out. That’s why it is prudent to enjoy other sports, hobbies, and racing. Especially right now. I say that because both F1 and the Feld Supercross Series are having freak’n incredible seasons. With just 3 [...]
“Rock racers hi cubby! I would like something that can push around a stampede 4×4. My requirements are it must be under $450 and go faster than a brushed stampede 4×4. I was thinking a rock racer specifically a rock rey or a 1/10 yeti, but would like your input. I am a big fan of your column and BSRC. Thanks! Ian S.” Cubby- Hey [...]
I think maybe I’ve touched on this subject before, but I feel the need to talk about it again. I do a lot of motorcycle riding, and while riding on-road, there is a whole lot of brotherhood going on. While riding an on-road motorcycle, while there is some politics to it, you basically wave at every other motorcycle you meet, [...]
“Just a quick kudos I just wanted to quickly say that I love your site and the fact that you objectively review all the products. Being that I am just getting back into the RC world it is nice to be able to read about products before I spend my hard-earned money on them. Your site has helped me decide what [...]
