THE Dynamite Passport Ultra Duo 200 watts x 2 Balancing Battery Charger ReviewAt BigSquidRC we are all about going balls out with everything we do, and that even extends to charging batteries. We hate waiting for batteries to charge, so we charge at the fastest safe rate that we can. Certain members of our staff also hate lugging around a [...]
THE TrakPower 2S 7.4v 60C 5400 Mah Saddle Pack Lipo Battery ReviewBack in the day saddle pack batteries got a lot of use, then for years they seemed to fade away.

THE ST Racing Concepts Axial EXO Terra Buggy Hop Ups ReviewSTRC has created quite a reputation of putting out flawless after-market upgrade parts. We’ve been bashing and thrashing a bunch of STRC upgrade parts for our Axial EXO Terra buggy for a few weeks now. Do they stack up to the big rep? Do they take the EXO to another [...]
THE Duratrax Posse Short Course Tire ReviewI can’t tell you how many noob bashers I’ve seen at the local track that are sliding all over the place (read- crashing a lot) but can’t understand why. Most of the time these bashers can wheel pretty good, yet they leave the track feeling like they are the worst drivers in the world. [...]
THE MaxAmps 12 Volt Power Supply ReviewAs battery quality and sizes get bigger and better, chargers come out to feed the batteries. At the beginning of that food chain though is the power supply.

Pro-Line just happens to have a tire, the Blockade SC, [...]
THE Hitec HS-7965MG Coreless Premium Digital Servo ReviewYes, Hitec is a sponsor here on BigSquid, but long before they were I was already a huge Hitec fan. I’ve used Hitec servo’s for over a decade and their performance and durability have made me into the fan I am today. Now days, we get a lot of servo’s through our doors [...]
The MaxAmps Low Voltage Alarm ReviewI’m sure all of us have ruined at least one LiPo battery pack by running it way below the cut off voltage. You are out there bashing with friends, not paying attention, and before you know it, your vehicle comes to a halt. Another situation, though not as bad.. you bring it in to the [...]
The HobbyKing Turnigy Nano-Tech 2S 65C 6000 Mah Hard Case Lipo Battery ReviewIt seems there are a lot of you guys out there wanting to see us review one of the higher “C” Turnigy Nano packs, so here you go.

The Traxxas EZ-Peak Charger ReviewWe recently had a chance to put the Traxxas EZ-Peak Plus Lipo Charger to the test. We also had a chance to test the Traxxas 2 & 3 Cell Lipo Charger. If you are looking for a LiPo Charger, or just a Traxxas Fan who feels more comfortable when everything you use is from the same [...]
THE Viper Copperhead R and VX4R.51 Sensorless Brushless Motor/ESC System ReviewTo really rip up the local bash spot takes some serious horsepower now days. I mean, since brushless has taken over the world every Tom, Dick and Harry are packing 500 watts (or a LOT more) of tire shredding power to the local Wally World parking lot. Do I have [...]
