ASK Cubby, Version- More Of Your Letters, Loads More Of My N…
“Crystal ball Cubby, I see that your crystal ball doesn’t work so good. You mention a lot of stuff that never happens and I think you are straight up full of it. You can’t get away with saying a truck is going to come out when it never does, maybe you need to get your facts straight before you post. Stanley R.” Cubby- [...]
THE Cub Report, Version- A Matter Of Respect
Don’t you just hate being disrespected? Well, that’s exactly what happened to me (and a whole lot of other people) when it was announced that Volkswagen had skirted the emission rules with their 2009-2015 TDI “clean diesel” cars. You see, I own a lot of cars, but my daily driver is a V-Dub TDI, which I specifically purchased for its fuel [...]

THE Cub Report, Version- Why I Drive
Yo rc fans, it’s another week in rc and thanks for tuning into another edition of THE Cub Report.

ASK Cubby- More Of Your Questions As The World Spins Round
“Outdated Chassis Does this annoy you too? Is it really just me that minds when a big rc company (no fingers pointed) constantly releases the same product that just looks a little different. Every company does it (including my beloved axial) and it just irritates the hell outta me. To point a finger, the almighty Tamiya CC01; I think they could [...]

ECX Brushless 4WD Circuit with AVC Review
If there was ever a truck targeted right at bashers it would have to be the ECX Brushless 4WD Circuit with AVC from Horizon Hobby. There is no racing class for it, has never really been a racing class for it, and with big brushless power and stability control it has the makings of a backyard beast. Is it a [...]

ASK Cubby, Version- Interesting Questions, Totally Made-up A…
“RC chop shops/ ABT bash Hello Cubby, I have been a long time reader of The Cub Report and I don’t think I ever read about your thoughts on rc chop shops. You the know ones that take rtr’s or kits and part them out. Over the years I have heard people at the local tracks dislike them fearing it takes [...]
THE Cub Report, Version- What Is a Bash Like?
While some of you have been to an organized bash, my guess would be that the vast majority of you have not. You might be stuck in an office working the rc biz and too busy to make it to a local event, or you might live in a part of the country where there simply are no bashes (which [...]
ASK Cubby, Version- Your Weekly Questions, My Weakly Answers
“The Internet For years I have been watching traffic on rc forums go down. I don’t think it is the fault of the websites themselves, I think it shows a lack of interest in the hobby as a whole. I have seen many people leave the hobby while very few have entered. People have left the hobby to pursue other things, [...]
