Axial Racing has not let up on the scale skinny pedal all year and has released another rig! The new Axial Racing SCX10 II Ford F-100 RTR is taking the RTR body game to another level with a four-piece bed and the super scale hinge pin body mounts. The 1955 Ford F-100 is a much-needed scale body in an 1/10 [...]
Apparently, I don’t watch enough tv and have been missing out on a cool show called Truck Night in America. But one of the local Crawler courses, Crawler Canyon, and pretty much everyone else has seen it and Crawler Canyon put on a scale version of the show. After going back and forth on what rig to use for this [...]
A while ago a buddy of mine, Cody Johnson owner of Dixieland R/C, sent me a Boom Rod end set for our Axial Racing UMG10. Now, in the beginning of the UMG10 build I didn’t think twice about the Rod ends. As I was tearing the rig down the other week to install the Boom rod ends, I then realized [...]
Since the Axial Wraith 1.9 just received the prestigious Recon G6 certification, what better time than now to revisit our own Wraith 1.9 for a “what are they up to now” edition of Everybody’s Scalin’.Since the official review of the Axial Racing Wraith 1.9 the rig has seen little to no down time. The Wraith makes its way out to [...]
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s special edition of Everybody’s Scalin’ – Unboxing the Axial Racing Capra 1.9 Unlimited Trail Buggy Builders Kit. Don’t worry, I’m not going to show you 15 pictures of bags. Crawling comps have started to become more popular and Axial Racing has stepped in to make sure you have a worthy rig for crawler glory! [...]
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 [...]
Well, someone had to go and wake up the sleeping giant that is Traxxas. A few weeks ago Traxxas dropped a bombshell otherwise known as the TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6. The pictures alone sparked up a fire of conversation that consumed anything else that was happening in the scale world. So how did Traxxas do with their first [...]
Last weekend I took a little road trip to Saranac Michigan for the DSM Off-road Great Lakes Gauntlet. This event is only 3 years old, yet has a following like it has been going on for 6 years. My buddies have been telling me about it for a year now so I made sure to keep my calendar clear for [...]
What’s going on everyone. For as long as Big Squid has been around there have been stickers. The oldest Big Squid sticker I have is about 6 years old and still looking good on my air compressor. I started to think about all the stickers we hand out at events and where they end up. Why not have a little [...]
Has anyone seen any RTR 6×6’s lately? It’s going to be an all out crawler war this Christmas with Traxxas coming out with the TRX-6. Fittingly enough I was already working on this weeks post before Traxxas did their “mic drop” and got the crawler world in a feeding frenzy. As soon as we know more info about the Traxxas [...]
I was going to talk about Axial Racing’s CAPRA vehicle but like all of you, I only know what we have been teased with. As of yesterday we can confirm it will have portal axles, something a lot of people have been asking for from Axial Racing. Perfect example of a company who pays attention to what people are asking [...]
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 [...]
A little bit ago Traxxas sent us the new TRX-4 Sport with TRAXX, and if you haven’t seen our unboxing go check it out! I was skeptical at first about the new version of the TRX-4, I honestly thought they just put the TRAXX set on the Sport and called it good. As you can tell in our unboxing I [...]
Let’s jump right into the Pro-Line Racing 1977 Dodge Ramcharger body update! As much as I would have loved to be with Boss Man Brian for the Pro-Line Racing Unboxing Video I had a lot of scale off-road park issues to deal with. So, once I picked up the body it was a little over-whelming. Unlike most lexan bodies, the [...]
Axial Fest ‘19 is in full swing and for those of us who could not attend this years event you can always check out Axial Racing’s Facebook page for live videos. This year I was not able to attend due to the birth of my little girl who was born last Sunday. I won’t lie to you, I thought about [...]
