THE Helion Animus 18TR 4×4 RTR ReviewWhen Cubby calls you answer it, so when I saw Cubby’s name pop up on my caller ID I knew I was either in for a butt chew’n or for something fun. Luckily he was calling to ask me to review the Helion Animus 18TR for BigSquid. The 18TR is the latest and [...]
THE Helion Dominus 10SC 4wd Short Course RTR Truck ReviewEverybody loves short course trucks- they look b!tch’n, they can usually handle a beating, and they are a blast to drive. But… if you walk in a hobby shop with only $200 cash in your pocket you can’t even walk out with a 2wd SCT, let alone 4wd. Well hello [...]
THE Losi XXX-SCT BND Short Course Truck ReviewBetter late than never? A Losi XXX-SCT finally landed on our doorstep for a good ole’ fashioned bashing. How did it hold up? Read on my friends…
THE Dynamite Passport Ultra Battery Charger ReviewWalking around the pits at the local track or bash spot I started seeing a lot of people using the Dynamite Passport Ultra. What in the world? Since when does Dynamite have a popular charger? What makes it so popular? When one dropped in my lap for review I was pretty stoked to [...]
A lot of companies say that they make monster truck tires… But do they really make your truck a monster? Proline has just come out with a tire that will for sure make your truck a monster, they call them their Trencher X tires. Keep reading to get the scoop..
For me, the HPI Savage XS Flux has been the most anticipated new release of 2011. If you’ve read anything I’ve written this year, the XS Flux has almost always been a topic, if even for just a moment. I have been a bigger hype machine for this truck than Rex Ryan has been for his New York [...]
THE ARRMA Raider RTR Buggy ReviewCubby recently posted our ARRMA Fury review so you had to know the official ARRMA Raider review was just around the corner right? So how’s the Raider as a 1/10th scale buggy? How does it compare to the Fury? Is ARRMA RC on a roll? Keep reading to find out…
THE Dr Marty’s Easy On Conductive Grease ReviewI must admit to being a connector freak. It’s very satisfying when I can perfectly solder up a new set of uber connectors to my gear. I run good electronics in my cars, I am not going to waste one bit of power by using sub-par connectors. While cruising the recent iHobby expo [...]

Dynamite, Horizons in-house line of aftermarket products, is one of many companies hoping to win you over in the war for Lipo supremacy. How does their Platinum series pack stack up? Read on…
For most of us, winter puts a serious damper on most of our RC driving. If you’re like me, an indoor track is hours away, and your fingers go numb five minutes after you start a bash session outside. While I use winter as an opportunity to clean/maintain/fix all of my vehicles that took a serious beating through [...]
THE Sunshine Systems RC LED Ground Effects Kit ReviewSo… I’m up on the drivers stand at iHobby and “Top Jimmy” Swift was standing next to me. I notice Jim’s Slash pulling over to the side of the track and he then proceeds to pull a wireless remote out of his pocket and turns on a set of very bright [...]
THE ECX Torment 2.4 Ghz RTR ReviewBigSquidRC is a site aimed right at the bashers of the world. In the bashing realm being tough and affordable are of the utmost importance. ECX (formerly known as Electrix) is a brand targeted at the beginner and the basher market. Their latest offering, the Torment, is a 2wd short course truck that should [...]
THE ARRMA Fury RTR Short Course Truck Review Months and months ago when I saw the first pictures of the ARRMA Raider buggy all I could do was think about who I had to bribe to get my hands on one of their products. It’s not very often when a new company pops up with a line of cars/trucks, and muchhhhh [...]
THE TrakPower TK 950 Soldering Iron ReviewA while back Evan reviewed the Team Checkpoint Soldering iron. A lot of us using the generic irons were impressed, so when the TrakPower iron was announced, we picked one up to see if there were any changes, and because we needed to replace more of the $15 RS ones. So hows the new [...]
