What’s going on everyone, this has definitely been an interesting week to say the least and finishing up the RC4WD Trailfinder 2 kit with the 1985 Toyota 4RUNNER body set capped it off. This build took me a long time to complete, had a few electrical issues in the tail end of the build but all is good now! Doing The [...]
Well, someone had to go and wake up the sleeping giant that is Traxxas. A few weeks ago Traxxas dropped a bombshell otherwise known as the TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6. The pictures alone sparked up a fire of conversation that consumed anything else that was happening in the scale world. So how did Traxxas do with their first [...]
Looking for a competition rig right out of the box? That’s the aim of RC4WD’s brand new C2X Class 2 Competition Truck w/ Mojave II 4 Door Body. That’s right folks, the C2X is the most capable RTR that RC4WD has ever released. Shall we dive into the details? * Designed for both scale looks and high performance * Comes pre-assembled [...]
Has anyone seen any RTR 6×6’s lately? It’s going to be an all out crawler war this Christmas with Traxxas coming out with the TRX-6. Fittingly enough I was already working on this weeks post before Traxxas did their “mic drop” and got the crawler world in a feeding frenzy. As soon as we know more info about the Traxxas [...]
Let’s jump right into the Pro-Line Racing 1977 Dodge Ramcharger body update! As much as I would have loved to be with Boss Man Brian for the Pro-Line Racing Unboxing Video I had a lot of scale off-road park issues to deal with. So, once I picked up the body it was a little over-whelming. Unlike most lexan bodies, the [...]
Pitbull RC has some great products already, so when they sent us the new Kronik Shocks we couldn’t wait to try them out. The on-the-fly ability the Kronik shocks have are great for all you comp folks out there. I chose to put the new shocks on the Axial Racing Wraith 1.9, being that they are 100mm shocks, I figured [...]
New from the folks at Traction Hobby is a video for their KM4 Founder II scale off-road truck. The Founder II is a large 1/8th scaled platform that is highly capable off-road. Watch the video below to see it driving through a stream and over large rocks. The video leaves no doubt to how incredibly scale the Founder II looks [...]
Juicebox Off-Road Park is open for the season! Some of you know I have a scale crawler course in my back yard. Last years Summer Opener was going to be hard to top, I mean come on, how do you top a scale Metallica concert. I really loved the Jurassic park trail from last years Axial Fest and wanted to [...]
What’s going on Squid nation! I have been working on my scale off-road park that last few weeks trying to get it ready for Saturday’s summer opener. Made some new trails and rebuilt some old ones as well. But the new Axial Racing 1:24 Deadbolt got me thinking. Pros and cons of smaller scale and bigger scale rigs. 1:24: Now these little [...]

Here are more highlights- * 324mm wheelbase RTR * Recon G6 [...]
In the past I have tried a few different methods to try and create rust. Mixing cinnamon with brown paint and all kinds of do-it-yourself techniques. All of which ended in a complete disaster and left me feeling beaten. Then I saw my buddy Joe’s Traxxas Trx4 Bronco and the rust job he did using a 3-step rusting kit. I [...]
What’s up Squid Nation! So currently I have been working on the RC4WD Trailfinder 2 Toyota 4Runner build. And I have to say this is starting to be one of my favorite builds. There is so much scale detail on the 4Runner body that it will definitely get you your scale fix. As for the chassis build, RC4WD did an [...]
Over the last few months I have been doing a lot of building. In turn I blame Big Squid RC for sending me to USTE lol. I know there are two types in the scale world, those who build and those who just want some scale right out of the box. Whatever one you are, they are both fine and [...]
What’s going on everyone, thanks for checking out this weeks Everybody’s Scalin’. So there seems to be some mixed feelings on the new Axial Racing release. One side is excited for a new SCX10 II and the other side, not so much. I get it, we all have or favorite brands, categories, styles, so on and so on. But lately [...]
