No mx national or F1 grand prix over the weekend. “Sigh”. Let me get a little old biz out of the way. Remember a few weeks ago when I mentioned that one of our interns helped out a big league rc manufacture at one of their booths but he didn’t get paid? Well, he finally got a check in the [...]
THE MIP Pro4mance Losi Ten SCTE Chassis and Tuning Package ReviewDo you remember the era of the factory works bikes in motocross? The late 1970’s and early 1980’s? Well I do, and I lusted for a full on factory works bike back then, and today I lust after a full on factory works rc truck. Today we’ll be taking a [...]
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 [...]
A few days ago while walking past Cubby’s pit table in the back of the BigSquidRC offices I snapped off this picture. As you can see above, Cubby has hoarded our review sample of the MIP Pro4mance Tuning Package for the Losi TEN SCTE. From the looks of the note that says “You Touch, You Die – Cubby” he’s pretty [...]
I am writing this on Sunday evening before the season 5 premier of AMC’s Breaking Bad so I have zero clue if the new season will live up to some extremely high expectations or not. But any which way, I am certainly pumped that there will be 16 more episodes of the wacky adventures of Walter White and his [...]

I’m not certain if it’s time for me to declare a letter of the month or not, but what the heck, congrats, you have just won a BigSquidRC t-shirt. Shoot me [...]
The good guys over at MIP not only make the best tools on the market but they have just released an upgraded chassis and tuning kit for the Losi Ten SCTE. The MIP tuning set comes with a new chassis, shock towers, springs, center drive-shafts and more. Performance is improved thanks to less weight, better shock pistons and springs, and [...]
James “Cow” Stewart didn’t crash last night in Oakland, so of course he won! While his new “Cow” nickname isn’t particularly funny (or catchy), it certain seems to hold true- Crash Or Win. Stew dedicated last nights win to his practice mechanic Mark “Tex” Adams who tragically passed away during the week. Our thoughts and prayers go out [...]
The folks over at MIP always put out very high quality products. So when they claim to be changing the world with one of their new products, our ears perk up and listen! Their latest product is called Real Shocks Bypass1TM Piston Technology. These new pistons are designed to act much more like full scale vehicles with the way [...]
It’s time for a special Wednesday edition of Evan’s 5 Minutes! It seems like we’re all carving our own little piece of the BSRC pie lately, and I wanted to take just a second to show my support for Brian’s post earlier today about the “try-before-you-buy” idea at local hobby shops. I think it’s an awesome idea [...]
