THE Cub Report, Version- I’m No Sterling Archer
Ever notice how back in the day that many rc companies advertised only about racing?

Dromida Speed Series 1/18th Brushless 4WD RTR Review
In case you didn’t notice, the original brushed Dromida 18th Scalers flew off the shelves at local dealers.

To right that situation Dromida has new versions of all their vehicles with Brushless Power Systems. Do the new vehicles give you a true [...]
