Hello Squid Nation! We got our hands on the New Team Associated Pro2 RT10SW 2WD RTR Street Hot Rod Truck. Try saying that ten times fast. The new Hot Rod has held up well during our testing and bashing. Juicebox Hobbies has a really fun banked road behind the shop that got a lot of use with the Team Associated [...]
What is up Squid Nation! Over the last few years, I have been seeing a lot of wicked scale garages. Weather its build from scratch, or bought, the scale garage world is opening up, allowing everyone to enjoy another outlet in the hobby.For me, a scale garage is a must have if you are into the scale side of the [...]
What’s up Squid Nation! As much as RC has evolved over the last few years, we still tend to see body clips being used on some models. Not a big deal, but body clips can be a pain in the Squid at times. Like when you need to get the body off fast because its smoking and so on. Fine [...]
Looking for the next must have for any RC fan? All Around RC has come out with Scale car covers, sizes ranging from small to large. The car covers have an elastic band, form fitting any rig you cover. Other than looking super scale in a scale shop, or hiding your next top-secret build, the covers help keep rigs clean [...]
We have lift off Squid Nation! The Ecto 1 from Scale Rat is in the shop and starting to get the parts mocked up. Having to wait this long was not ideal, with moving states I knew I couldn’t have given the Scale Rat Ecto 1 the proper treatment until I was in the new shop.There were a few ways [...]
Last weekend I was out exploring and found a wicked Comic shop not too far from the Squid Farm. Comic shops tend to carry action figures, A.K.A scale drivers. While I didn’t find any new drivers, I did stumble across something new that I haven’t seen before. Cardboard pop-up dioramas for 6”-7” inch figures, that also happens to be the [...]
The ROCHobby TYPE82E RTR 1/12 Beetle is one of FMS’s top scale rigs. Opening doors, hood, trunk, working fan belt, detailed interior, and the ability to switch from 2wd to 4wd along with a high and low gear adds up to a wicked scale rig. When our running video came out, I felt like the film could have been better. [...]
Axial Racing has released a new ready to run called the 1/10 Axial SCX10 III Base Camp, and it is a budget/entry level rig that will open up the doors to this wonderful hobby to all the newcomers while keeping the cost down. Will the Axial Base camp live up to its lineage, or will it be left by the [...]
Happy day in the Big Squid Shop! We recently received the ERNST Ultimate Hobby Stand and have some time to check it out to see what it has to offer. As long as I have been in the hobby, I have only recently started utilizing the help of pit mats and pit stands so when the Ultimate Hobby Stand from [...]
Time to get your Doll House rigs ready Scalin’ Squids because The Ultimate Scale Truck Expo is right around the corner! USTE 2022 will be our 4th year attending, and our 3rd year as a proud sponsor of the best scale event in the country, if not the world. Ok, I may be biased on the subject but with good [...]
The Axial Racing SCX10 III Early Ford Bronco was my favorite releases from Axial last year. For a RTR rig it has a ton of scale features including, straight axels instead of the portals, front and rear lights, an interior that has depth to it, and a scale motor. Ever since Axial came out with the SCX10 III I have [...]
Looks like the CEN Racing Ford F-450 Dually has gotten a wicked make over. The Updated F-450 KG1 Wheel Edition has a few more goodies that the last one. starting with the obvious, the two new color options you will be able to pick from are Red Candy Apple and Silver Mercury. The Red Candy Apple truck comes with the [...]
USTE 2022 is drawing near, and it seems every week we receive more goodies for the trip. Last week I got a package from CarryAll-RC and Crazy Crawler that contained some sweet items. Crazy Crawler sent us a few foams for us to try, I am looking forward to seeing the benefits of changing foams. We got a set of [...]
While the hobby is still reeling over Axial Racings newest rig, the SCX6, I decided to go the other way in scale and have something SMALL to show you. It has taken a me some time to get into the smaller scale stuff. After driving the rigs from FMS Model and ROC HOBBY, my love for the smaller scale has [...]
The Fire Horse 1:18 scale crawler from Roc Hobby has already had about 12 packs ran through it. And will probably get that much run time this weekend as well. Once again, the scale detail is fantastic, even though its not a licensed body, the Fire Horse looks great. I have been having so much fun with the smaller scale [...]
