I want to start off this week’s edition of Everybody’s Scalin’ with some sad news. Over the week the scale crawling community had to say goodbye to a very talented builder and fan of Big Squid RC, Jason Pierola. Jason will be missed by more people then he could imagine. Rest in peace Jason, heroes are remembered but legends never [...]
What a recovery week it has been as Cubby would say. You know an event was good when you feel you need to take a week off after the fact, and Horizon RC Fest 2019 was no different. Last years RC Fest was my first big event being on the Big Squid RC payroll and I was a little shy. [...]
We have been having a blast with the Axial Wraith 1.9″ from Horizon Hobby! The full review is almost done, but we wanted to get up some video footage of the Wraith in action! Enjoy the video of the Wraith out hitting some huge rocks.If you are looking for more details, you can check out the Axial Wraith [...]
Have you been thinking about picking up the new Axial Racing UMG10 but want to see what comes in the box before you get into it? It is a true kit, you will need to build the entire truck, supply the electronics, batteries, radio, etc. We did our best to show what comes in the box in the video without [...]
It is official we can start talking about Christmas! And more importantly what is on your RC Christmas list. It seems every month since January my list keeps getting bigger, as I’m am sure everyone else’s does. There are four must have vehicles that everyone should have at least one of on your list this Christmas. Or, if you are [...]
This last weekend a bunch of the Big Squid RC Crew were hanging out at Jeremy’s Juicebox Off-Road park, and while we were there, Jeremy shot a little video footage. The video stars the Traxxas TRX-4 Bronco and the Axial SCX10 II Blazer. We had a blast shooting the footage, and Jeremy did a awesome job piecing it all together. [...]
Here we are, the final round! Congratulations to the ARRMA Kraton and the Axial SCX10! Both of these vehicles fought off some insanely tough competition to make it here and to be the winners of the Basher side and the crawler/scale side. Now it’s time for their final fight, is it really the Kraton vs the scX10 or is it [...]
We are down to the final four! This is a VERY important round because it’s going to crown a winner for the basher side and a winner for the crawler side. It’s been very exciting watching things unfold. The leads in round three jumped back and forth several times leaving us on the edge of our seats to see who [...]
We are down to eight vehicles. Four on the basher side, and four on the crawler side. The last round proved pretty interesting as a few upsets broke more than a few of the Big Squid RC crew brackets. There are several vehicles in the top 8 nobody expected to get this far. Again, every year we are surprised by [...]
Welcome to Round 2 of the March Bash-ness 2018 brackets! We warned you that we had planned a twist, and as you can see it’s a good one! We took all the winners from the sweet 16 bracket in round one, and put them on the left side. On the right side, we have added 8 scale/crawler vehicles! We had a [...]
I think most would agree that owning a 1.9 rig is what gives you the true scaling experience. The “training wheel” guys may disagree (aka 2.2), but 1.9’s are definitely the most popular, if nothing else. Given that most of us don’t have access to truly mountainous and/or wild environments to play in right around our houses, it’s usually the best combination [...]
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a general “what’s new in scaling” type-post, and I figure we are overdue. First up is the Thunder Tiger Toyota Hilux. The other day TT posted a pretty sweet video of the truck in action. Gotta say, it looks pretty capable. We are hoping to get one of these for review soon, so you can [...]
Over the weekend I attended the annual BIGFOOT 4×4 Open House in Pacific, MO and helped to put on an r/c monster truck race with my Trigger King friends. There were a lot of cool looking r/c’s and full scale rigs, but the vehicle that has everyone in the solid axle community buzzing is the replica BIGFOOT Ranger that was [...]
Last week there was a chain message going around Facebook where if you got tagged, you had to post a picture of your first r/c crawler and describe how you got into it. I got tagged by a few friends…but I abhor those things so I never did my part. I figured it would be better to just share it [...]
Crazy to think that it’s already December and 2016 is nearly at an end. It’s been an interesting year in scale crawlers, one that saw the explosive growth of the past few give way to maturity. Most of the big releases were not new platforms but refined and updated versions of previous kits (Axial SCX102, Vaterra Ascender, RC4WD Trail Finder 2). Well, [...]
