Lets try this again shall we? Last week voting was almost finished in the final round of the March Bash-ness 2017 with the Traxxas Slash vs the ARRMA Nero Big Rock when several bots started voting 1000’s of times a minute causing a little bit of a mess. This is why we can’t have nice things people! Anyway, we have [...]
It looks like more than a few people enjoyed our April Fools finals, but now it’s time to get serious! Many people were surprised by the Traxxas Slash 4×4 making the big jump to get to the finals, but when you think about it, the Slash has been THE go-to basher vehicle for so many people for so many years! [...]
Hello bashers! Here we are, the Final Four! Remember back when we started this, I mentioned that something unexpected happens every year? Well this year is a first for matching finals. To determine who goes to the final round, it’s Traxxas vs Traxxas and ARRMA vs ARRMA! None of us here predicted this one! So lets get to it, vote [...]
A few weeks ago Spektrum announced their innovative S6240RX Servo. Servos don’t usually get a lot of attention, but the Spektrum unit is quite unique as it features a built in receiver. The BigSquidRC Bash Crew decided to get with Spektrum to learn more about it, and while we had them at our ear, to ask a number of other [...]

The CEN Colossus XT is ready to make a big splash at your local bashing grounds. Before we started our review, we took a bunch of unboxing pictures to give you readers at home a good look at what comes inside the box. The big CEN was a bit different from a normal unboxing. It came with a sleeve on the [...]
With Pro-Line putting out more scale and rock crawling gear every day, we decided to reach out to Paul Willhite for an interview.

Right about a month ago we posted a video that Redcat Racing had worked up showing them durability testing their TR-MT8E BE6S monster truck. The video was truly no holds barred as the Redcat crew put their test truck through an incredible beating, the type of beating that you just don’t see every day. Our entire Bash Crew was pretty [...]
The Kysho Zephyr is a big deal. Why is that? The first reason is because it is the first ” real drone” from Kyosho. The second reason is because it isn’t like a typical drone. The Zephyr is controlled by a pistol style radio. While flying you can turn left, right, and go faster or slower, but you aren’t constantly [...]
The new and improved Traxxas 8S X-Maxx Monster Truck is getting ready to hit stores so we took a bunch of pictures while we pulled our test unit out of the box. The 8S version of the X-Maxx comes with loads of upgrades over the previous version, making it even more of a beast. As you can see in the [...]
Remember the sound of nitro? What about the smell? Oh yes, nitro is something that every rc enthusiast should experience. We have been thrashing the living daylights out of a Losi 8IGHT Nitro RTR Buggy and the 8IGHT-T Nitro RTR Truggy while working on our reviews. And yes, our bash crew has been having a blast remembering how fun nitro [...]
The Mammuth Works Rewarron 1/3 Scale Off-Road Truck has been making some serious waves in the rc industry. It looks to be the biggest, baddest, machine to ever hit the market. No, the Rewarron isn’t shipping quite yet, but for a bunch of eager large scale buyers, that day isn’t far away. We recently had a chance to talk with [...]
