The ROCHobby TYPE82E RTR 1/12 Beetle is one of FMS’s top scale rigs. Opening doors, hood, trunk, working fan belt, detailed interior, and the ability to switch from 2wd to 4wd along with a high and low gear adds up to a wicked scale rig. When our running video came out, I felt like the film could have been better. [...]
Axial Racing has released a new ready to run called the 1/10 Axial SCX10 III Base Camp, and it is a budget/entry level rig that will open up the doors to this wonderful hobby to all the newcomers while keeping the cost down.

Happy day in the Big Squid Shop! We recently received the ERNST Ultimate Hobby Stand and have some time to check it out to see what it has to offer.

The Axial Racing SCX10 III Early Ford Bronco was my favorite releases from Axial last year. For a RTR rig it has a ton of scale features including, straight axels instead of the portals, front and rear lights, an interior that has depth to it, and a scale motor. Ever since Axial came out with the SCX10 III I have [...]

USTE 2022 is drawing near, and it seems every week we receive more goodies for the trip. Last week I got a package from CarryAll-RC and Crazy Crawler that contained some sweet items. Crazy Crawler sent us a few foams for us to try, I am looking forward to seeing the benefits of changing foams. We got a set of [...]
While the hobby is still reeling over Axial Racings newest rig, the SCX6, I decided to go the other way in scale and have something SMALL to show you. It has taken a me some time to get into the smaller scale stuff. After driving the rigs from FMS Model and ROC HOBBY, my love for the smaller scale has [...]
The Fire Horse 1:18 scale crawler from Roc Hobby has already had about 12 packs ran through it. And will probably get that much run time this weekend as well. Once again, the scale detail is fantastic, even though its not a licensed body, the Fire Horse looks great. I have been having so much fun with the smaller scale [...]
Hello everyone and sorry for the absence, with so much going on at Big Squid RC, I haven’t had the time to get much writing done, until now. In a way the worlds have aligned, I am now able to give the Squid my full attention. That means more videos, more articles, and faster turn around time on builds and [...]

From custom grills to marker lights and even painted door handles, 1:10 [...]
Have you ever wondered what an RC company looks like from the inside? Is it like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory with tons of wild and crazy adventures, or is it like just another boring office with casual Fridays and TPS reports? While on vacation in Southern California I got the opportunity to check out REEFS RC’s main office and really [...]
This week we have the unboxing video of the WPL Toys KEI Truck we received from RC Pit Products. Out of the box the WPL truck is a blast, was even driving it around in the scale shop. If you are considering picking one up, I would suggest in doing so. For the price of 70 Bucks give or take, [...]
We have come down to our last round of pictures from The Ultimate Scale Truck Expo. This year’s event was special, not that USTE is never amazing but this year had an atmosphere that I have never seen at any events from the past. Maybe it was the fact that people are ready to move on from the year of [...]
