We just got the new HPI RTR Savage X 4.6, and of course we had to do an unboxing before we go beat up on it! Glad to see the 2.4Ghz radio as well as a ton of batteries for the radio, receiver and starter! We are looking forward to some nitro monster truck action! Enjoy the pics! #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 [...]
There’s been quite a bit of buzz about the updated version of the E-Firestorm Flux from HPI recently. Ever since Jeff posted some great pics of this redesigned stadium truck from RCX we have been dying to get our hands on one. Well, the wait is over! We’ve got the E-Firestorm Flux here for the [...]
The latest issue of HobbyTown‘s Hobby Outlook digital magazine has just been published and we have, once again, contributed an article of awesome utility. We show you how to assemble an all in one portable charging box. Inside the easy to carry case you will find two chargers, a power distribution panel, and 12 volt battery to power [...]
We would like to start off by thanking Jeff and Axial for their time, and for being the first in one of our new segments where we talk to people at the top of the fastest moving companies in RC. These interviews are not just with the company PR guys, we go as high up the food chain as possible, [...]
Just recently we were talking about the new Losi TEN SCTE, but we have had our hands on one for a little bit now. It was time to get the unboxing pictures out of the way because the review is around the corner! #gallery-9 { margin: auto; } #gallery-9 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-9 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-9 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* [...]
So we just got our Electrix RC Ruckus in the office for review. Seemed only appropriate to do our traditional unboxing photos. Quick first impression, the truck is geared towards the budget minded bashing crowd. It comes completely RTR with battery and it even has a extra set of radio crystals in case you end up on someone else’s [...]
Today we got our Venom dirtbike, the VMX 450 Brushless RTR! The box is well done, nothing mind blowing, but better than average. When I first opened it up, it was actually bigger than I expected. We don’t see a lot of bikes in our area, just a couple now and then on the on-road track, but [...]
Since iHobby Expo we have been talking about the new Futaba 4PL. One reason we kept talking about it around the office was that we were working on the Transmitter Shootout and the 4PKS and 3PL were really doing well in our testing. The 4PL seems like it is a step in [...]
Again we bring you one of the most anticipated RC articles on the internet! Our 3rd battery shootout! This time around, the flood of emails after the second shootout seemed to suggest that we take a look at the 4S lipo market, and who are we to deny our readers? We used some new equipment during our testing, [...]
So we picked up the new Activision Call of Duty BLACK OPS Prestige Edition with the RC-XD Vehicle today, and thought we’d share the unboxing photo’s. At first glance I was pretty worried it was going to turn out like the Gears of War Centaur Tank fiasco, [...]
Not that long ago we got the Press Release about the Duratrax Evader EXT2! and before that we had the DuraTrax EXT2 Exclusive Spy Shots! Well, now we finally have one in the office! I have become a renewed fan of the DuraTrax Evader series after the release of the
We recently mentioned that the Futaba 4PKS (S as in Super) would be shipping soon, well we got our hands on one today! First impression out of the box, the thumb stick used to navigate the menus is a huge improvement over the last model! It is much easier to use, and didn’t hurt your [...]
Short Course just got… shorter? The smallest Short Course Truck (SCT) to date is debuted with the Team Losi 1/24 scale SCT. The box is typical of the Losi Micro with the product clearly displayed through the clear window with the radio and accessories tucked away inside. It’s a full Ready To [...]
This post is just all about the pictures since under the body it’s identical to the Losi Micro SCT. You can read all about it, and check out those pictures Here! More picks…
We got our hands on a Axial XR10 here at the Big Squid RC Headquarters, and I have to say the guys here are pretty stoked about it. This is going to be one of those kits you can’t rush, but when it’s done, it will all be worth it! As expected here are the official unboxing photos. I’m not sure [...]
