THE Cub Report, Version- Life In The Fast Lane
Ya know, life isn’t all about rc. Well, it mostly is, but if you go 100% at rc all the time, you will get burnt out. That’s why it is prudent to enjoy other sports, hobbies, and racing. Especially right now. I say that because both F1 and the Feld Supercross Series are having freak’n incredible seasons. With just 3 [...]
THE Cub Report, Version- Brothers
I think maybe I’ve touched on this subject before, but I feel the need to talk about it again. I do a lot of motorcycle riding, and while riding on-road, there is a whole lot of brotherhood going on. While riding an on-road motorcycle, while there is some politics to it, you basically wave at every other motorcycle you meet, [...]
Review – Traxxas X-Maxx 2085X Servo Upgrade
To upgrade the steering in your X-Maxx, the crew at Traxxas have released the 2085X. The 2085X servo has more torque than the stock unit, but perhaps more importantly, it comes with full metal gears to improve durability. The BSRC Bash Crew has been thrashing the daylights out of a 2085X in one of our X-Maxx test trucks for several [...]

Elon Musk to Start Tesla Motors RC
Apparently the billionaire isn’t happy about having just the best car on the planet, and a space company that’s dreaming so big that everything it does is usually the first time it has been done. It sounds like Elon is dreaming a little smaller now. Rumor has it that he is spinning off Tesla Motors with a new division called [...]

In recent years, I’ve been rather quiet about F1 though, strictly because even I was tired of knowing the results before the races even started. However… 2017 looks like a whole [...]
