Hello, every it has been a while, so let’s have some shop talk! Just as I anticipated the Summer has already been packed full of events, builds, and lets just throw a move across three states while we are at it. It has been about 3 months since I moved to the temporary house. Not having JuiceBox Off-Road Park to [...]
The RC4WD Trailfinder 2 LWB kit with the 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 Lexan body has had some mixed reviews. RC4WD is known for scale hard bodies, so naturally people were taken back when they found out that the new FJ55 body was lexan. We were just as surprised when the rig arrived at the Big Squid RC office but [...]
Beat The Creek is held in the charming southern town of Maysville, Kentucky. The town is filled with beautiful landscapes, farmland, and of course the property of Joe and Sue Hauke. Joe and his family open up their private property to host Beat The Creek. If that doesn’t say Southern Hospitality, then I don’t know what will. I can deal [...]
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. As long as I have been in the hobby, I have only recently started utilizing the help of pit mats and pit stands so when the Ultimate Hobby Stand from [...]
Mark your calendars for May 14th-15th. Big Squid RC will be invading Maysville Kentucky for the 7th annual Beat The Creek! For a few years now I have been trying to get to this event. As life would have it, something would come up and make it so I couldn’t attend. Not this year, along with myself the Scalin’ Squids [...]
From the Majestic shop of ScalerFab comes a beautiful set of Retro front and rear bumpers for the Axial Racing SCX10 iii Bronco. Our Bronco has not had an easy life since we received it. But after all the abuse it has taken, the rig is holding up strong with only cosmetic damage. Now that the little Squid has basically [...]
Frixion RC has popped up out of thin air it seems, carrying an impressive catalog of scale and performance hop ups. We got our hands on a set of 1” Braven Ironside Scale tires with the Alien Kompound from Frixion RC. The tires look great, so we pulled in our FMS Model Toyota Land Cruiser into the scale shop and [...]
Hello everyone, and welcome to this week’s Everybody’s Scalin’. With only a week until the Ultimate Scale Truck Expo we have been wrapping up our builds and getting ready to hit the road. While I was weathering the bed for Farm Truck 2, I looked over at the FMS Models Chevy K10 and figured it could use some aging. Now [...]
The Element Knightrunner is back on the scale shop loaded down with some upgrades from BowHouse RC. So far, our Knight runner has had the Knight Custom’s 3D printed interior and front wheel wells. Adding those parts make the Knightrunner body pop on a on the scale chart. Now that we have the look we want, it’s time for some [...]
Hello everyone and thanks for checking out this week’s Everybody’s Scalin’. As the Ultimate Scale Truck Expo draws closer, we are currently wrapping up the projects and almost ready to hit the road! The Cen F-450 is one of the rigs that will be making the trip to the sunshine state with us this year. It’s safe to say that [...]
Time to get your Doll House rigs ready Scalin’ Squids because The Ultimate Scale Truck Expo is right around the corner! USTE 2022 will be our 4th year attending, and our 3rd year as a proud sponsor of the best scale event in the country, if not the world. Ok, I may be biased on the subject but with good [...]
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 [...]
Welcome to Juiceburg, the tiny world for the smaller scale rigs now has its name! the lay out started in my basement about two years ago. Back then it was only the two large mountains, unpainted and was used for quick testing of 1:10 rigs. The surge of 1:24 and 1:18 scale we have been receiving made me rethink about [...]
Our Gmade Buffalo pickup is complete and has been rocking out on the trails all week. The Gmade Buffalo kits are in my top 5 of favorite kits to build, instructions are clear and well laid out and the quality of parts is top notch. The scale driveline of the motor and transmission leave you with room to add a [...]
My newfound love for the 1:18 scale, thanks to FMS Models, has exploded into the workshop. Over the last few months, I have been working on the tiny town for the 1:18 and 1:24 scale rigs to drive on. Even though the tiny town still does not have an official name, there has been a lot of progress made in [...]
