THE Cub Report, Version- You Wreck Me
Well hello there, my name is Cubby and yours is not. This is THE Cub Report, sometimes a weekly rant, sometimes just a bunch of totally made up stuff, but always full of “it”. Glad you made it, lets dive in… Damn, Ryan Dungey is crushing it. He won his third straight AMA Supercross Saturday night in Oakland, now some moto [...]
ASK Cubby, Version- Tough Questions, Easy Answers
“Traxxas 10th scale e revo So we all know that the traxxas e revolution is a pretty great bashing truck, but even though traxxas says it’s a 1 tenth scale car, its really a 1 eighth. Now don’t get me wrong the power of 6s is crazy, but having to charge 2 batteries to run the truck or buying an expensive [...]
Maverick iON XB Buggy Review
Maverick RC is new to the US market. In Europe they are well known as a basher line for HPI, but only recently have they decided to make a push here in the good ole’ USA. We tested one of their 1/18th scale rally cars a few weeks ago and this week we are posting our review of the 1/18th [...]

THE Cub Report, Version- Everybody Wants To Rule The World
Well hello there friend it has been a whole week, welcome back to THE Cub Report. This week I’ll keep the water cooler fodder to a minimum and just make up a few things as I go… First up, Formula 1 season can’t get here soon enough. While AMA Supercross kicks off early in the year (along with the Dakar rally), [...]

“Suggestions for a Kit Hey Cubby, How’s it hanging? I need some suggestions from a professional. Recently, I was able to scrounge up an extra 540-sized 4420kV motor/ESC combo and a receiver, so I figure I’ll find it a new home. Any suggestions on a nice kit for asphalt and off-road bashing? Before you go on, I just wanted to [...]
THE Cub Report, Version- Battle For The Ages
Hello to one and all, the time has finally come for yet another Cub Report. Yes indeed, it is once again time for a wonderfully sarcastic look at the hobby via my warped eyes. I trust you all had a great weekend of pulling trigger with as little wrenching as possible. Oh ya, last week I started out THE Cub Report [...]

“Pro MT Hey Cubby, While 1/8 is awesome for bashing it’s good to have a 1/10 to kick around as a back up. I’ve got a Firestorm with Castle 3800 SCT, all the RPM parts & some Dirt Hawgs. It takes a good beating & is quick & cheap to fix, I hate wrenching! Would you say it’s worth going to a [...]
Kyosho 1970 Dodge Charger Review
Everything we have posted about the Kyosho 1970 Dodge Charger has gotten a lot of hits. In fact, more hits than any on-road car in recent memory. Is that due to its tough muscle car look? Maybe it’s due to the Orion dDrive system that sits under the hood? We have been bashing the daylights out of our Kyosho test unit [...]

ASK Cubby, Version- You Ask Me Questions, I Simply Ask Why
“A lil bit about putting spikes in tires Hey Cubby, I am in Anchorage ak and with that folks keep having this radical idea about putting spikes or screws into rc car tires. I was asked about that yesterday by a friend I know. He hasn’t ran an rc car since the eighties. Well umm he knows better now because he [...]
Maclan Diamondback MX 540 Brushless Review
A few weeks ago we had the chance to review one of the new 550 brushless systems from Maclan Racing. Maclan is new on the brushless scene, but we were left very impressed. Recently we also got a chance to test one of their Diamond MX 540 Systems. The 540 is intended for use in 10th scale 2wd vehicles like [...]

“Rtr/newbie Hey, I’m looking to get into the hobby rc world. I’ve been doing a ton of research (I don’t know about you, but money doesn’t come easy), and I’m trying to decide between the Axial Yeti XL and the Traxxas Summit. Near as I can tell, the Axial breaks often and has a weird right driving tire lift issue, and Traxxas [...]
THE Cub Report, Version- Bash Vehicle Of The Year Finalists
Hello there everyone, I trust that you had a most splendid Christmas. Like most hobbyists, I hope you got to unwrap at least one rc oriented gift, but if not, hopefully it was because your rc garage was already full. As we enter the last week of 2015, things start getting tense around the BSRC offices. The last week of 2015 [...]
