If you were lucky enough to attend the LA Supercross Saturday night you were treated to one heck of an EPIC 450 main event with Chad Reed lay’n down the smack on Dungey/Villopotto/Stewart. Reedy was on fire for the win, Dungey put in solid laps to finish second, RV2 crashed early but blasted through the pack to fourth, [...]
A couple of Redcat Racing‘s vehicles have appeared in the review section here on Big Squid over the last few months. And they’ve gotten positive numbers and comments from those that have tested them. It was because of those reviews that I decided to purchase a Redcat Monsoon XTE, which is a 1/8 scale brushless truggy. I first saw this [...]
Redcat Rampage MT 1/5th Scale Monster Truck Review5th scale monster trucks are the biggest, baddest boys in the rc world. I’ve been giving the Redcat Rampage MT a good old fashioned BigSquid torture test for the last few weeks. How did it hold up? Read on to find out.
Please help – looking for a recommendation – most durable fast RC truck – for my 20 year old son to race his 80 year old Grandpa – durability – off road, sand, rocks etc. is much more important than name brand or paint job. Looking to spend less than $150 on each, will buy one for each of them. [...]
This just arrived on my doorstep, courtesy of the fine folks in the big, brown trucks. It’s Redcat Racing‘s latest vehicle, a Monsoon XTE, 1/8 scale brushless truggy. I thought I’d share some photos and info with all of you. Inside the box you’ll find the big Monsoon XTE, nearly 100% assembled. You just need to put the wheels on and [...]
Even more Redcat stuff to show you guys. This is their new brushless 1/8 scale line, the Hurricane, Monsoon and Avalanche. All three are fully RTR with 2.4 GHz and dual 2S LiPo batteries included. These things look to be pretty beefy, with lots of thick metal braces. Look for them to be hitting very soon [...]
Redcat has quite a bit of stuff worth looking at in their booth at IHobby. These are their still relatively new line of 1/6 scale brushless powered vehicles. All of them are called the Shredder, but are designated by XB for the 4wd buggy, XT for the Stadium Truck, and SC for the Short Course Truck. All [...]
One of the many new things being shown by Redcat at this year’s IHobby is the Twister Dune Runner buggy. It’s not your typical buggy design with a twin vertical plate chassis and bottom loading battery setup. This guy also features a 3900kv brushless system, paired to a 2.4 GHz radio system. It’s not available yet, the [...]
Has it already been another week? Omg does time fly in the wonderful world of rc. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery right? I guess Xtreme RC Magazine really digs us then as they’ve got their version of Jeff’s long running “R/C Around The Web” column in their magazine now. And yes of course, Jeff’s version is vastly [...]
Funny how the meltdown emails come in every week when I dare mention anything about motocross. Yup, I spam motocross pretty hard in every Cub Report, and I do it not only because I can, but because there are many direct ties between that sport and ours. With that said… Something huge is going on this coming weekend. Traxxas, [...]
Redcat was showing off a couple new 1/5 scale products at IHobby this year. The major one is the one on the left above, it’s a brushless powered 1/5 scale buggy. It’s going to be a fully RTR setup with a 2.4 GHz radio. No price or date as of yet. The other is their Rampage MT Pro, which [...]
