THE Cub Report, Version: X-Maxx Mania
Hello to one and all, welcome to another wonderful week in the rc hobby. Hopefully you were able to get in some trigger time over the weekend, I know I sure did. So… what happened in rc news last week? Not much really, pretty ho-hum… Awwww, who am I kidding, the epic news was the Texas Titan Traxxas announcing the X-Max [...]
ASK Cubby, Version- More Of Your Letters, More Of My Non-Sen…
“Trophy Truck Discussion You have a News/Blog entry online about the new bomb Axial has planted (the SCORE Trophy Truck). I don’t understand all those haters who talk about what they would do better (having their butts on the sofa), I’m just happy about what Axial does for the hobby, the hobbyists and us, the LHS’s. Thanks for supporting the scene! Dennis R. (Germany) WAKE [...]
ECX AMP Desert Buggy Review
ECX RC is well known among bashers for having affordable yet durable vehicles. Recently EXC announced a new AMP series intended to bring ECX quality to an even lower price point. At a paltry $129, just how good can they be? We’ve been bashing the daylights out of the AMP Desert Buggy to find out. You know the drill, keep [...]

THE Cub Report, Version- Fun Comes In All Shapes & Sizes
Hey now to one and all, welcome to this week’s funtabulous Cub Report. I trust you are all ready for another wild week living the rc life. This week I have seemingly misplaced my “Wheel of Death”. The WOD basically has names on it like ROAR, Traxxas, and Associated, that I spin from time to time to see who I will [...]
ARRMA Fury BLX Brushless SCT Product Spotlight
It’s hard to believe that our very first ARRMA RC test vehicle was a brushed Fury all the way back in 2011, my how time flies. The latest version of ARRMA’s SCT is the Fury BLX and we’ve been bashing one for several weeks now. How did the review go? Read on to find out… From: ARRMA RC Direct Link: Fury BLX Unboxing [...]

ASK Cubby, Version- Your Week In Questions, My Weakly Answer…
“Help picking next RC Cubby — First let me say, I enjoy your Q&A articles and your website all together – It’s helped me dramatically as I step back into this hobby after a decade+ away. I would like to pick your brain for suggestions on a second RC purchase (sort of). Brief backstory: I purchased matching 1/16 E-Revo’s for my sons [...]
HPI Jumpshot MT Review
Just like the Staind song “It’s Been A While”, well, it has been a while since HPI Racing introduced an all new off-road platform. Earlier this year HPI debuted their Jumpshot platform to the world at the Nuremburg Toy Fair, since then we’ve been anxiously waiting for one to show up on our doorstep. That day finally came a few [...]

THE Cub Report, Version- Out Of The Cellar
Hola and welcome to this week’s edition of THE Cub Report. Like several of the weeks preceding, myself and the Bash Crew have been off-the-hook busy, so seriously don’t expect much out of this CR, I have put absolutely zero thought into it (LOL). On the busy note, the manufacturers have been announcing X-Mas season new products like crazy, and the [...]
ASK Cubby, Version- Your Letters, My Gibberish
“Trophy trucks Hey Cubby, Just wondering if you had any insight as to why nobody sells a 1/10 trophy truck? I enjoy scale looking models but crawlers are just too slow for my taste. Short course trucks are fun and can be made to look pretty realistic but lack a solid rear axle. I think the new thunder tiger jackel you just [...]
Pro Boat Voracity-E 36-inch Deep-V Brushless Review
If you are looking for true high speed performance right out of the box, the 36″ Deep-V class is a great place to find it. A few months ago Horizon Hobby announced their entry into the class, the Voracity-E RTR, and since then we’ve had plenty of time to put it through the wringer. Is the Voracity-E fast? Can it [...]

ECX Outburst Motorcycle Review
Shipping now is the first motorcycle to hit the ECX RC line-up, the 1/14th scale Outburst. The Outburst is on the most affordable side of the rc spectrum at just a $39 street price, so you have to wonder a few things. How easy it is to drive? Does it break easily? Is it fast? We’ve been driving the tires [...]

Hello you bashers, hola members of the rc industry, yes, it’s time for this week’s Cub Report. So many tasty things to talk about this week, where shall I start… How about those IFMAR Worlds in Japan? Wow, what a long event, it finally got over late last week, surely to the rejoice of the American drivers. Sure, the Americans [...]
ASK Cubby, Version- It’s Thursday & Here Are Your Letters
“IFMAR Hey Cubby, Just read your report on the IFMAR race. You rant makes sense to me. I follow the race on other sites, and look at the pics. It’s very interesting. I found a video interview of the owner for J concepts (you can delete the name of company if you want). I use their products [...]
Thunder Tiger Jackal Desert Buggy Review
What is a Thunder Tiget Jackal? It is a RTR tenth scale desert buggy with independent suspension up front and a solid axle with locked diff in the rear. Sound familiar? It should, that is the formula that the Axial Yeti and Vaterra Twin Hammers have used to sell a ton of vehicles. How does the Jackal stack up to [...]

THE Cub Report, Version- The Grass Is Always Greener (If It …
Ok, so if you bash you probably could care less about the IFMAR 1/10th Off-Road Worlds going on right now in Tsukuba, Japan. If fact you could probably care less about who wins, which manufacturer’s buggy was the fastest, etc. In theory, as a hobbyist you should, but you don’t because it’s so alien to you. They (racers at the [...]
