So here we are rc fans- yet another Monday and yet another Cub Report. What’s kick’n in the rc world? Ok, so I was out in SoCal last week doing my thing (read- massively overspending my travel budget) and was quite surprised to see the office that has been home to HPI Racing is now up for lease. No, there have [...]
HPI Building for Lease
This picture does not give us the best feelings. We have reported on the RUMOR of Traxxas buying out HPI Racing, but it didn’t really start to sink in till now. For those that don’t know, this is 70 Icon, Foothill Ranch, CA. home of HPI Racing USA, and that big sign outside their building does not seem to say [...]
ASK Cubby- You Pile On The Questions, I Skimp On The Answers
“fuel mix Dear Cubby, I recently stepped up to a 1/5 scale. Really enjoying it. My question is about fuel ratio. Every manual I’ve read says 25:1, and that’s what I’ve been running. But I’ve seen on forums that a lot of people are running 32:1 or even 40:1. I even read in a mag that they ran the new losi dbxl [...]

ECX K&N Torment Short Course Truck Review

Kyosho Vintage Series Optima Buggy Review
For the past few years, vintage cars have been making a big comeback. Perhaps one of the most beloved buggies from the 1980s was the Kyosho Optima. It was known for being a fierce competitor on the track, as well as being the very first 4wd race buggy for a whole lot of drivers. A few months ago Kyosho decided [...]
