Losi, once a brand for racers only, is now a company known as much for great bash machines as it is for winning national championships. Over the last few months we’ve been driving, jumping, crashing, and generally abusing the Ten-MT Monster Truck, a truck that Losi has produced to help dominate the basher market. The Ten-MT is pure basher with [...]
Hopefully you are off work and getting ready for an evening BBQ, or a day out bashing your cars, or better still, both. And while most of you know what Memorial Day is for, for those of you that do not, it is the day that we remember those that paid the ultimate price so that you and I can [...]
“Traxxas TRX-4 What’s up, Jimmy D here again! So I went my local LHS this weekend and spent 30 minutes pouring over the Traxxas TRX-4. Display model only, as the big green sticker on the box says. I have a SCX10, had a Trailfinder 2, and custom built rigs that cost way too much and still wasn’t what [...]
We don’t have to tell you guys just how rapidly the scale movement has taken off. In just a few years scale crawling has gone from obscurity to the point where nearly everyone has at least one crawler in their garage. A couple of months ago Traxxas decided to jump into the scene with their TRX-4 Scale & Trail Crawler, [...]

I was also able to pull some trigger, running for nearly two days straight with the new Traxxas TRX-4. Our unboxing pics went live today and, if I really [...]
While brushed ready to runs have good speed, if you want to really up the adrenaline factor it is all about brushless power. Hence the reason that Dromida has released the Brushless version of their popular 1/18th scale Monster Truck. The Dromida comes with a beefy 5300kV brushless system, realistic chevron monster truck tires, and it was designed to be [...]

Dwayne A.” Cubby- Hey now Dwayne, how nice of you to write in. Don’t forget your snail mail for a sticker pack. So… you are wanting to build on off-road track and want some advice. Here [...]
Well hello there friends, welcome to THE Cub Report. I trust you had a great weekend filled with loads of trigger time, as well as at least a couple of hours chill’n with the person that brought you into this world.

“Pro-Line PRO-2? Hey Cubby, I was wondering if you had any insight or insider information as to what’s going on with Pro-Line? Their website lists the PRO-2 and PRO-2 Buggy as out of stock, most online retailers list those two as “discontinued”. Where can somebody find a quality non-RTR basher? I like building kits, but I don’t race, and the Tamiya kits [...]

Traxxas made huge news in early February when they announced the Ford GT. At a time when on-road had been in decline for years, Traxxas rolled the dice with a hot looking Ford GT body and an all new 4-Tec 2.0 chassis underneath. Can the Ford GT breathe some much needed life back into the on-road scene? How well does [...]
“Collector Or Driver Hey Cubby Are you a collector or a driver? Everywhere I look in the online rc community people with massive collections, 50/100/500 rigs. This got me thinking of my few. Am I jealous or am I the only one that feels guilt if a rig is neglected for to long? Maybe it’s both but I drive all my rigs [...]
