Cubby– Yo thanks for the info Ken, duly noted.Hi, I’m looking to get an electric [...]
Thunder Tiger has decided to jump on the 1/8 nitro Short Course bandwagon with the RTA4. If you own a MTA4 ( Associated MGT) you’ll probably be seeing double, as minus the A-arms, driveshafts, wheels/tires and bodywork, the RTA4 is identical underneath. It is powered by Thunder Tiger’s ever reliable and powerful .28 pullstart engine with a large 150cc fuel tank, and has [...]
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. [...]

Hey guys, Thanks for the review on the Thunder Tiger MT4 G3. I picked one up about a month ago and love it. I did upgrade the servo to a spektrum s6030 and modded the chassis to hold the battery with velcro and eliminated the goofy over tray. It is a pretty tough truck and handles great. It is loads better [...]
Both Bill and I were pretty sold on the Aquacraft Minimono when we showed it at the end of July, but now Thunder Tiger has something a little bit bigger with their new Outlaw Jr. Brushless RTR Boat. Measuring only 29 inches long, it will fit perfectly in smaller bodies of water. Featuring a water-cooled motor, ESC and [...]
Hello, I got a quick question. Can the Evader DT take LiPo batteries stock? If so, would I need to install a LVC? Thank you -Jordan Cubby– What’s up Jordan? Is it just me or do we get this question a lot? Well… if it’s getting asked this much I better man up and answer it. Can the Evader DT (same goes for [...]
If you haven’t read the Thunder Tiger DT12 Review yet you should really check it out. We just updated the review with a short video we did during our durability testing.

Thunder Tiger Sparrowhawk DT12 ReviewComing fresh off our Sparrowhawk XXT Review it was time to check out the Sparrowhawk DT12. We were interested to see if the 1/12th scale 4×4 DT had any similarities to the XXT, if was as tough, as good in the air, and could it bash with the best of them? Well keep on reading to [...]

Would the Sparrowhawk XXT live up to it’s big brothers reputation? Would it be tougher than nails and have us all [...]
Greetings from the overly posh BigSquid offices, and here’s to hoping you and yours are thoroughly enjoying Americas independence day, I know we certainly are. BBQ + fireworks + family + rc cars = uber July 4th weekend! Our wacky BSRC bash crew spent the day in Peoria Illinois on Saturday bashing and thrashing two of Thunder Tigers new vehicles- [...]
So it looks like it’s time for another update on what’s been going down around the office lately. First up, is some big news. We have decided to go ahead and give the Thunder Tiger MT4-3G our BASHER APPROVED award! I honestly don’t think we have tested a tougher truck. On all of our latest outings, everyone has [...]
“Will a “tuning kit” turn a Losi SCB from a basher to a racer? I think not… a tricker piece of machinery yes, but faster? Faster is much more about the driver than the equipment in rc racing.” (quoted from this weeks Cub Report) Whys it need a tuning kit anyways, for all intents and purposes it is a Losi [...]
Anybody else see Geico/Honda/Associated rider Justin “Bam Bam” Barcia huck it down Henry Hill at Budd’s Creek on Saturday? That boy has a giant set of appendages. For you guys that don’t know about “Henry Hill”, it’s a giant downhill on the Budds Creek track, and it got its name when Doug Henry accidentally stayed on the gas and [...]
