Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Everybody’s Scalin’! The Big Squid RC scale shop has been extremely busy these last few weeks. With a bunch of new releases and a few more still to come, getting some time to start the Cross RC WT-4 has been a challenge. A build of this magnitude needs to be done slow, as [...]
Over at Traxxas they have posted a TRX-4M Bronco Full Option Custom Build to wrap up 2022. The stock TRX-4M is a blast to drive, but by installing a few upgrades, it can be taken to a new level of performance. Using the link below, you can take a look at all the upgrades that Traxxas put on their TRX-4M [...]
Over at JConcepts they are showing off their latest passion project- a highly modified Summit Racing BIGFOOT 21. This hardcore build started with an Axial SMT 10, then the JConcepts crew went to work making it into the ultimate BIGFOOT 21 build. Featuring a JConcepts 2020 Ford Raptor body, along with Renegade tires and Tribute wheels, this build is truly [...]
Over at Traxxas they have posted a Custom Galaxy Edition Build for their TRX-4 Chevy Blazer. During their Galaxy Edition Blazer build, the Traxxas crew gives the truck (and transmitter!) a fully customized look. From de-chroming, to installing a set of tracks, the Traxxas Galaxy Edition Blazer build is quite amazing. To find out all the mods on the build, use [...]
An update over at Traxxas has a great ‘how to’ for converting their E-Revo VXL, Summit, and Nitro Revo 3.3 from dual servo setups to a single servo with more power. Their new High-Torque 400 Brushless Servo gets the job done and then some. It’s a great step by step, so if you have one of these dual servo beasts, [...]

What’s going on everyone, this has definitely been an interesting week to say the least and finishing up the RC4WD Trailfinder 2 kit with the 1985 Toyota 4RUNNER body set capped it off. This build took me a long time to complete, had a few electrical issues in the tail end of the build but all is good now! Doing The [...]
What’s up Squid Nation! So currently I have been working on the RC4WD Trailfinder 2 Toyota 4Runner build. And I have to say this is starting to be one of my favorite builds. There is so much scale detail on the 4Runner body that it will definitely get you your scale fix. As for the chassis build, RC4WD did an [...]
For what seemed like years of searching I’ve finally got my hands on the Proline 1983 Dodge Ramcharger body! This would have never happened if it wasn’t for my buddy. He as about 3 Proline Ramcharger bodies, mainly because he is a huge fan of the old Dodges. And I think he finally got sick of me bugging him for [...]
The folks over at Traxxas have put up a couple of really cool articles on a new built they are doing, to help show how and make the Ultimate Trail Truck using the TRX-4. I’m not sure how many parts it’s going to be, but they have posted the first two so far, and the truck is looking amazing [...]
When we first saw the Satin Black Chrome Upgrades for the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer, we were blown away with how cool they looked. Since then we’ve been able to lay our diff-grease stained hands on a full set of satin black parts for our in-house UDR to check out how easy they are to install, plus how it changes [...]

Just putting the finishing touches on our review of the Cross RC Demon SG4, so we thought you may like to see some of the photos we took during the build process. It wasn’t a quick build as it is a full kit, but it went pretty smooth for the most part. Here is an excerpt from the review talking [...]
