Graupner has a long history in rc. They have been in the hobby forever and have built all sorts of cool products for both the surface and airplane crowds. Several months ago Graupner released the X-8E radio system. The X-8E is the highest-end radio from Graupner and is absolutely loaded with features, yet it sports a relatively low price point. [...]
Is your pit area as cluttered as ours? Yes, our pit tables are one huge mess. To help make your pit area more organized, the crew at TheToyz have released a new Tool Stand. The stand is made from durable aluminum and looks sharp, but does it do a good job? It is worth the cash? Read on for those [...]
With the resurgence of HPI Racing going on full force, we were stoked to get the chance to review their upcoming Formula Q32. The Q32 is very small in stature, but promises loads of fun. It comes with an extremely wallet friendly price, plus has a 2.4GHz radio system and HPI’s Real Steer system for better control. How does the [...]
Introduced just over a year ago, the RC4WD 1/18th Gelande II D90 RTR has proven to be a favorite among people who drive mini scale crawlers. The smallest G2 is not only loaded with the scale detailing that today’s off-roaders demand, but also comes in an affordable, easy to drive, RTR platform that makes it easy for new hobbyists to [...]
Anatoly Kirpichev and the crew over at RC Maniacs got tired of destroying polycarbonate bodies on their bash trucks. Anatoly decided to fix the problem and come up with an “indestructible” body, one that could take the absolute worst beating from even the most extreme of bashers and walk away in one piece. After hearing that such a body existed, [...]
What is bashing? Well, it is different things to different people. Some people consider bashing to be simply driving around in the backyard. Others, people like us, like to get more extreme by catching enormous airtime and popping block long wheelies. For the more hardcore crowd, ARRMA released the Outcast 6S BLX Stunt Truck. The Outcast was specifically designed to [...]
While the BigSquidRC Bash Crew doesn’t make a point of reviewing all the latest “racer” oriented gear, we do make a point out of reviewing higher-end products when possible. It is true that most bashers use products at the lower end of the price range, yet there are still plenty of them that have no problem cutting the check for [...]
Because of its large size and the way it mounts, there aren’t a whole lot of different bodies on the market for the Traxxas X-Maxx. The folks over at Pro-Line saw the problem and worked up a Ford F150 Raptor for all you X-Maxx owners. The Raptor comes in clear, thus giving you the option to put any paint scheme [...]
Scale crawling gets bigger every day. What was once a small niche, is suddenly the hottest product segment in rc. And while hardcore scalers demand a kit to alter and modify as they build, a lot of the new people entering the scale movement come from the ready to run world, or simply don’t have the time to build a [...]
With HPI Racing vowing to come back strong this summer, we were super stoked to get our hands on their new Jumpshot MT Flux Fuzion 2wd monster truck. The Jumpshot MT comes on one of their newer platforms and is packing brushless powered heat, as well as a bunch of other features. Can the Jumpshot MT bash with the best [...]
While the crew at Pro-Line Racing are best known for their tires winning countless world and national titles, they are also hardcore about bashing. To help give all you owners of the X-Maxx more performance, a couple of months ago Pro-Line announced a unique wheel and tire combo for your Traxxas. Their Badlands MX43 Tires and Impulse Pro-Loc Wheels were [...]
Losi, once a brand for racers only, is now a company known as much for great bash machines as it is for winning national championships. Over the last few months we’ve been driving, jumping, crashing, and generally abusing the Ten-MT Monster Truck, a truck that Losi has produced to help dominate the basher market. The Ten-MT is pure basher with [...]
Check out some video we shot during the review of the Traxxas TRX-4! Special thanks to Jacob, Albert, and the RC Freaks Bash Park for helping out during the shoot and review. Seriously a bunch of great guys over there. Make sure to check out the full review At This Link if you want to know more about the truck. [...]
We don’t have to tell you guys just how rapidly the scale movement has taken off. In just a few years scale crawling has gone from obscurity to the point where nearly everyone has at least one crawler in their garage. A couple of months ago Traxxas decided to jump into the scene with their TRX-4 Scale & Trail Crawler, [...]
While brushed ready to runs have good speed, if you want to really up the adrenaline factor it is all about brushless power. Hence the reason that Dromida has released the Brushless version of their popular 1/18th scale Monster Truck. The Dromida comes with a beefy 5300kV brushless system, realistic chevron monster truck tires, and it was designed to be [...]
