That body, realistic chassis layout, and all metal construction [...]

A couple of weeks ago we busted out our first Maverick RC review of the iON RX rally car, but we’ve also been working on a review for their iON XB 1/18th Scale Buggy. Maverick is a new name to America, but they are already well known in Europe and hoping to make a big name here in the states. The [...]

Scale realism isn’t just the latest rage for off-roaders, it extends to on-road cars as well. Kyosho made waves a few weeks ago when they first announced the Fazer 1970 Dodge Charger. The old school Charger is loaded with the scale realism that people are after, plus it comes with the innovative dDrive Orion brushless system. After we cracked the box [...]
When it comes to insane power, Castle Creations is the name that pops into most people’s heads. Their latest over-the-top power system is the Mamba XL X Combo which combines the ridiculous wattage of their 2028 800kV brushless motor with their new X series 1/5th scale ESC. We recently received a unit for review and decided to snap a bunch [...]

As we cracked it out of [...]

Just in to the BigSquidRC offices is the Team RedCat 1/8 TR-MT8E Monster Truck.

As we tore the box open we grabbed [...]

As we are working on the review of the Axial Yeti Score Trophy Truck, we figured it would be a good idea to post the unboxing (aka before bashing) pictures so everyone can see it before we put it through the bashing ringer. First impression out of the box, it just seems bigger. Not sure why, haven’t even set it [...]
