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 [...]

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 [...]

“Duratrax and Ofna Hello Sir, I was curious if you knew why Duratrax stopped making cars? I see that they make a 1/8 buggy but that is all. Also I saved up for an Ofna 1/8 Ultra LX2e and parts have been discontinued. I used to buy Associated and Losi but I think their prices have sky rocketed. That’s my opinion. Is [...]

Some people come to Sin City to party, others come for a relaxing vacation, and yet others are forced here by work, I use it to shop for watches. Yes, I take watch collecting almost as seriously as I do rc, so here I am seeking out a diamond (or two) in the rough to add to my ever expanding [...]

“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. Last week over on Vital MX there was a long thread on why people ride motocross, which got several of us in the office talking about why we do rc. Everyone has their own reasons, but these are mine- I drive rc [...]

There is a new 8th scale bash buggy on the market called the Bushmaster from Thunder Tiger.
