We have been arguing discussing what vehicle we thought deserves the honor of Big Squid RC’s Bash Vehicle of the Year for a while now. A lot of great vehicles have driven over our desks this year, and while I think it was close between several, one really stood out.

Any time we hear the words Tiger and Raptor together, we immediatly think of a Griffin, that mythological beast of eagle and lion lineage.

It is powered by Thunder Tiger’s ever reliable and powerful .28 pullstart engine with a large 150cc fuel tank, and has [...]
