Redcat Racing Landslide XTE Monster Truck Review
After reviewing a couple of higher-end Team Redcat trucks, we discovered that Recat isn’t messing around. Their 1/8 monster truck and 1/10 Team Redcat SCT were both solid trucks, clearly capable of running with the best in their classes. Recently, we started driving the Redcat Landslide XTE monster truck. The Landslide is part of Redcat’s normal line-up of bash vehicles, [...]

ASK Cubby – You Explode My Email Box, I Explode Your Brain
“Has BigSquid gone soft? Just read the review of the E-Revo 2.0 and am disappointed in the Broken Parts section. I didn’t see any detail about the durability testing you did, in fact, only saw it about what you didn’t do (“No, we did not drive it WFO into a brick wall” and “we don’t have a lot of time [...]
DHK Hobby Crosse BL 4WD Monster Truck Review
While DHK Hobby is well known overseas, here in America they are just starting to take off. DHK is now carried by HRP Distribution here in the states, thus making it much easier for local hobby shops to stock them.

ASK Cubby – Your Astute Questions, My Nonchalant Answers
“Help CEN CTR 5.0 To Off Road Hi, I hope you can help me with my CENB CT5. What I’m trying to do is convert my ct5 in a semi off road or in some way protect de internals pieces (spurs, belts, and other parts). The chassis has too many open spaces and rocks and dusts come in very easily i [...]
Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 Review
In the beginning, the Traxxas Revo was a nitro powered monster truck that set new standards for performance. Soon, brushless was taking over everything and the E-Revo was released. The electric form of the Revo was even more extreme, going even faster, and jumping even higher. It has just been a few weeks since the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 was announced, [...]

THE Cub Report – Behind Blue Eyes
Hello all, welcome to this week’s Cub Report. I am Cubby and once a week I write a column about the news in the rc biz. Shall we dive in? I think most people would have dismissed the PR that we posted about Traxxas reps meeting with consumers at PCH. This isn’t an uncommon practice, or at least it wasn’t in [...]

Maverick Strada Brushless DT Review
2018 is a big year for Maverick RC. As HPI Racing’s entry level line-up, Maverick is working hard to make a big impression here in the states. We’ve been bashing and thrashing their Strada Brushless DT for several weeks now. With a bold brushless power system and a nicely scale roll cage, how did it stack up? How fast did [...]
