While most boxes that we receive for review at the BigSquidRC offices are pretty cool, the one with all the Kyosho tape really perked up the Bash Crew. You see, a whole lot of us around the office have been watering at the mouth to get our hands on the re-release of the Optima 4WD Buggy Kit. Needless to say, [...]

A couple of weeks ago we busted out our first Maverick RC review of the iON RX rally car, but we’ve also been working on a review for their iON XB 1/18th Scale Buggy. Maverick is a new name to America, but they are already well known in Europe and hoping to make a big name here in the states. The [...]
Scale realism isn’t just the latest rage for off-roaders, it extends to on-road cars as well. Kyosho made waves a few weeks ago when they first announced the Fazer 1970 Dodge Charger. The old school Charger is loaded with the scale realism that people are after, plus it comes with the innovative dDrive Orion brushless system. After we cracked the box [...]
As announced yesterday, the Maverick line of vehicles is about to invade America. Maverick is a well known bash oriented product line-up in Europe and they are ramping up to take over the rest of the world. A few weeks ago we got our hands on their iON RX rally car for a review. As we cracked it out of [...]
Well here it is folks, our unboxing of the mighty Traxxas X-Maxx. Ever since being teased a couple of months ago, it seems like everyone has been waiting to put one in their rc garage. That time has now officially arrived. Local hobby shops have gotten their first shipments, thus a bunch of X-Maxxs are making it into consumer hands. If [...]
We recently got our hands on the Heli-Max Voltage 500 3D Quadcopter. This multirotor looks like a beast just standing still! We are going to add in a Futaba system and get this thing in the air soon for a full review. For now, enjoy the unboxing shots. Check out the official Heli-Max website at This Link.

Just in to the BigSquidRC offices is the Team RedCat 1/8 TR-MT8E Monster Truck. The big news is that it is the very first truck in the new Team RedCat high-end line of bashers, so we can’t wait to see how it stacks up against trucks like the Kraton, MT-4 G3, and Revo. As we tore the box open we grabbed [...]
Hey look, our very first tank unboxing! Yes, rc tanks can be pretty dern cool to bash with. We recently received the latest from VS Tanks and took a bunch of pictures while pulling them out of their packaging. One tank is a German King Tiger Porsche in Desert Camo, while the other unit is a Japanese Type 10 (both [...]
Who is Maclan Racing? They are a brand new brushless company looking to earn you business. We are very stoked to be the first media outlet to unbox their very first production brushless systems.

Available now for your bashing pleasure is the Revell Modzilla MT. The Modzilla is a perfect little starter truck and is priced to be easy on your wallet at just $79. As we were unboxing our test unit we took a bunch of photos to let you see exactly what is inside the box before you buy one. Included with the [...]
As we are working on the review of the Axial Yeti Score Trophy Truck, we figured it would be a good idea to post the unboxing (aka before bashing) pictures so everyone can see it before we put it through the bashing ringer. First impression out of the box, it just seems bigger. Not sure why, haven’t even set it [...]
New and super affordable ($129) from the folks at ECX is the 1/10 AMP MT. While it is named a “monster truck”, it more looks like a stadium style truck and we recently got a chance to shoot some pictures while pulling our test unit out of the box. Inside the box you’ll find the truck (of course), the new style [...]
ECX made some big news when they announced their AMP line-up of vehicles. Why is that? Because the AMP line brings hobby grade 10th scale to an extremely low price point. How low? $129, which should fit into just about anyone’s budget. While we finish our full review of the AMP Desert Buggy, please take a look at the unboxing pictures [...]
We recently got our hands on a UDI Lark Quadcopter with FVP from HRP – Hobby Recreation Products and are looking forward to putting it to the test. Initial reactions to taking it out of the box, it’s a very interesting setup as it’s very light for it’s large sizet. Not so sure we are going to dig the USB charging [...]
