We have a big week ahead here on BigSquidRC, we are calling it Review Week. This week we’ll be posting a brand spank’n new review each day for your viewing pleasure. Monday we start off with Brian’s review of a hardcore bash-mobile, the HPI Bullet ST Flux RTR truck. Tuesday brings the review of another big-time bash truck, the [...]

Thanks for your time Richard P. Albuquerque, NM Cubby– Yo what up Richy? Thanks for the email, give me a couple days to [...]
The HPI Racing Ken Block WR8 FLUX finally gets official! We have been posting news about the Ken Block vehicle for a while now as bits and pieces were leaked out, but the official PR is finally here. We finally get to see under the body as well. When we saw it in person we couldn’t get our eyes underneath [...]
Hello fellow rc’ers, welcome to another edition of THE Cub Report, the satirical column that is responsible for 87.2% of the chat around rc water-coolers every Monday… First off, VIVA FERRARI! Yes, the church bells rang yet again over the weekend, and yes, Alonso padded his points leads even further! Now on to what really matters, rc… So rc is on the verge [...]
There have not been that many good photos of the new HPI Ken Block vehicle except for the ones we posted, and a few people have asked if we had any more. So we dug deep to see if there were any we have not posted yet, and I believe this is the last of them. Enjoy, and look for [...]
The HPI crew also made their way to Lincoln Nebraska for the HobbyTown USA Convention. In their suite was their full line-up of cars, buggies and trucks. Of special note was their new Ken Block rally car, which unfortunately we couldn’t take any body-off photos because HPI is still waiting on a few parts. One of their ultra trick Special [...]

We recently posted some pictures and a little info about the upcoming Ken Block WR8 Flux coming soon from HPI Racing. Well something caught our attention in the new ad for the vehicle. Normally when a company is showing off a larger scale ride, they do a shadow/outline of how much bigger that vehicle is over a 1/10th or 1/8th [...]
Of course you watched the Silverstone Grand Prix today (Sunday) on Fox. Ferrari very nearly took the win, but late in the race that persistent Aussie Mark Webber was able to snatch away the lead for the big W. Oh well, a solid second on the podium is still good points for Alonso, and he retains the lead in [...]
I think a lot of folks are wondering how the HPI Racing Super 5SC Flux is going to do. It’s priced right, it’s big, and it’s 4WD! We had the chance to unbox one with our good friend Steve from the Hobby Town in Orland Park, IL. First impressions are decent. It’s big and heavy, but only time [...]
It seems like the people over at HPI Racing have been on the warpath lately for releasing new vehicles! Their latest announcement is for the RTR Baja 5B Flux. It boasts speeds of 60mph on 8s lipo using a Castle Creations Mamba XL2 ESC and NEU-Castle 2028-780Kv Motor. HPI reworked the all the aluminum parts for this one, and have [...]
We have been posting info about the Ken Block Vehicle from HPI Racing as it comes in, but I wanted to point out this shot they posted of the rims/tires. The DC logo is a nice little touch. Heck HPI will probably be able to sell just these rims, I know a few people that would add these to [...]
The biggest buzz going around the BigSquid offices this morning is about the forthcoming 10th scale Ken Block Rally Car from HPI. After watching Block score a silver medal at X-Games over the weekend we are all stoked to get in some rally-cross action in the parking lot. Until more information is released here are a few more pictures to wet [...]
Yes, the X-Games took place a bit earlier than normal this year, in case you didn’t notice they went off over the weekend. The biggest news? The middle school invasion and the fact that Travis Pastrana got hacked good ole’ “rc style” in the rally cross race. Such a pity, I was looking forward to watching TP and freshly turned [...]
