It looks like it’s time again for the International Speed Challenge! The ISC is a great place to take that speed demon you have been working on, and show it off to the rest of the world. If you think you got something fast, and you want to prove it. This years event is in Topeka Kansas, on August [...]
The Crux RC Bash Event, by Tim Mohr BigSquidRC is all about bashing, so cover as many bash events as we can. Last weekend I got to attend an rc bash in Washington Missouri, a town about an hours drive from the St Louis Missouri metro area. The venue was at a place called The Crux. The Crux [...]

In collaboration with www.HobbyMedia.it we will be bringing you some RC coverage from the Shizuoka Hobby Show 2010! Keep your fingers crossed for some exciting RC news. These shows cover everything from RC, to model figures, and this one is probably the biggest in Japan. Thanks to our friends at HobbyMedia for helping with the coverage.
So last weekend the Big Squid RC Bash Crew (as Cubby likes to call us) headed out to Champaign Il, to Slot and Wing Hobbies for their yearly bash event. It’s always fun when we can all get together and just have a good time bashing. We weren’t there worrying about testing products, or running the event, we were [...]
Geezuss I’m getting tired of lame “teaser” press releases. A fine example of this was the tease put out by our broken English speaking friends at Kyosho America a couple weeks ago. The promise was “Something BIG” was coming from them. What did it turn out to be? Well the “BIG” news was that Kyosho America was opening up a [...]
Bill mailed me a link to this video from the Psycho Nitro Blast from 2009. This is only the first few minutes of the A-Main buggy class, but what’s cool is just insane air and layout of this track! I can see why so many people go to this event! The jumps are HUGE and so is the track.. [...]
First off this week, huge congrats go out to Scotty Ernst for putting on one hell of a short course race at Trackside Hobbies in Wisconsin. Scotty is arguably one of the top race promoters in this hobby, and widely considered the best race announcer walking the planet. Scott’s race drew around 250 (yes, two hundred and fifty!!) entries this [...]
So we headed out to Trackside Hobbies to watch some racing during the Short Course Showdown this weekend. We snapped a bunch of pictures, talked to a ton of people, and had a great time. First I’d like to thank Scotty Ernst (seen here on the left with yours truly) for organizing [...]

While I’m afraid Big Squid RC won’t be at this event, I’m a big fan of the Cup Racer series, and someone asked me to mention this one, so I have no problems doing that. The upcoming Cup Racer event is in Kennett Square, PA on February 27th, so if you are in the area, you should [...]
The folks over at Slot and Wing Hobbies in Champaign, IL. are having a little bash thing at their track Saturday, Oct 17, 2009. The event starts at noon. A few of us are going to attend, and check out the action. It’s supposed to be cold and wet… but if you are in the area, try [...]

Take note of Bill S. (Firesprink281) with a little extra work during his on-camera appearances! lol. Congrats to [...]
Well the BASH-A-PALOOZA event has come and gone! I wanted to take a moment to thank all the people that helped make the event special! Without them I would never be able to pull it off! Bill S. (Firesprink281) did an amazing job on the ramps and obstacles, while putting up with me yelling and panicking about everything. Thanks [...]
