No mx national or F1 grand prix over the weekend. “Sigh”. Let me get a little old biz out of the way. Remember a few weeks ago when I mentioned that one of our interns helped out a big league rc manufacture at one of their booths but he didn’t get paid? Well, he finally got a check in the [...]
We have a big week ahead here on BigSquidRC, we are calling it Review Week. This week we’ll be posting a brand spank’n new review each day for your viewing pleasure. Monday we start off with Brian’s review of a hardcore bash-mobile, the HPI Bullet ST Flux RTR truck. Tuesday brings the review of another big-time bash truck, the [...]
Hello fellow rc’ers, welcome to another edition of THE Cub Report, the satirical column that is responsible for 87.2% of the chat around rc water-coolers every Monday… First off, VIVA FERRARI! Yes, the church bells rang yet again over the weekend, and yes, Alonso padded his points leads even further! Now on to what really matters, rc… So rc is on the verge [...]
A few days ago while walking past Cubby’s pit table in the back of the BigSquidRC offices I snapped off this picture. As you can see above, Cubby has hoarded our review sample of the MIP Pro4mance Tuning Package for the Losi TEN SCTE. From the looks of the note that says “You Touch, You Die – Cubby” he’s pretty [...]
I am writing this on Sunday evening before the season 5 premier of AMC’s Breaking Bad so I have zero clue if the new season will live up to some extremely high expectations or not. But any which way, I am certainly pumped that there will be 16 more episodes of the wacky adventures of Walter White and his [...]
Of course you watched the Silverstone Grand Prix today (Sunday) on Fox. Ferrari very nearly took the win, but late in the race that persistent Aussie Mark Webber was able to snatch away the lead for the big W. Oh well, a solid second on the podium is still good points for Alonso, and he retains the lead in [...]
Yes, the X-Games took place a bit earlier than normal this year, in case you didn’t notice they went off over the weekend. The biggest news? The middle school invasion and the fact that Travis Pastrana got hacked good ole’ “rc style” in the rally cross race. Such a pity, I was looking forward to watching TP and freshly turned [...]
Days like today are why I believe in miracles. You see Spanish driver Fernando Alonso didn’t have a shot at winning the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Valencia Spain today. Alonso and his Ferrari had a lackluster performance in qualifying on Saturday, putting them 11th place on the starting grid. Certainly Alonso and his Ferrari would work their way into [...]
Why does Brian constantly crank his Seinheisers up so loud that I am forced to hear what he is listening to? I have no idea, but I’m think’n I need to hack his Pandora account and seriously dial him in with some better channels. Btw… the notorious duo of Walter White and Jesse “Jackson” Pinkman return again to AMC’s Breaking [...]
Hola friends, bashers, industry types, and rc hobbyists, you’ve made it to yet another funtabulous edition of THE Cub Report. BigSquid’s way uber Summer Kick Off Bash went off with sizzle on Saturday. The weather was perfect, there was a great crowd of fun loving bashers, and all the events seemed to provide big smiles across the board. All day [...]
Bubba DNF’ed both moto’s at Freestone over the weekend thus making the 450 nationals a whole lot more boring for the rest of the summer (looks like a Dungey runaway now). You see one of those crafty photographer types ran across the track just as Stewart was mid-air from a jump. This distracting Bubba causing him to crash and [...]
If you are a James “Bubba” Stewart fan (like Brian is), you’ll be stoked to know that Bubba is 4 for 4 racing the outdoor nationals on his new Suzuki 450 this summer. Bubba was looking all washed up after a dismal supercross season, but after the switch over to the yellow thumper he is an example of classic [...]
Hola amigo’s, I hope you were lucky enough to watch (or DVR) the live first moto’s from Hangtown on FuelTV last weekend. The first “lites” moto might possibly have been one of the best in moto history as Monster/Kawi/PC/Traxxas rider Blake Baggett caught and passed world champ Ken Roczen AND “Bam Bam” Barcia on the last lap to take [...]
Boiling down the last week in rc into one quite petite (and quite sarcastic) lil’ lovable report. Now on to the news… No doubt the Axial EXO Terra buggy has already made a heck of splash. While our test unit may have had a few new model gremlins, it’s still a kick a$$ buggy and one that might very [...]
Yes, another week has blown by us in our beloved hobby, welcome to yet another way-super-dope edition of THE Cub Report. Mark this date on your calenders- Saturday, June 9th. What’s going on? Well that is the day of BigSquid’s first uber bash of the year. There is a lot more info to come, but it’ll be in the [...]
