The Cub Report, Version- Shootout Time!
Yes folks, we’ve kept this one pretty quiet, but This Friday we will be posting our Brushed 2wd Short Course Truck Shootout. This one has been a long time coming that’s for sure. Short course trucks have been hot for nearly a decade now, so we decided it was well past time to take arguably the top 4 2wd short [...]
Thunder Tiger Kaiser e-MTA Monster Truck Review
When we first saw the Thunder Tiger Kaiser e-MTA a few months ago, we couldn’t wait to get one in our hands. Its body had a nice scale look, it had a big ole’ brushless system inside, and it is one of the first trucks to hit the market with an on-board engine sound module. We’ve been bashing the daylights [...]

ASK Cubby, Version- An Intimate Q & A Session Just Between U…
“Needing direction/recommendation So Cubby, The situ here in charleston S.C. is I’m def. A noobi, but had to make the Durango-Dex8t purchase as I’ve been wanting a kit to progress my learning etc.,, but in saying that I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to picking out motor/esc & servo, I’d really really appreciate your expertise knowing you like [...]
THE Cub Report, Version- Enema of the State
I certainly hope you’ve been having a bash-tastic Memorial Day weekend thus far. In case you’ve been living under a rock (and some people actually get it wrong), Memorial Day is a day for remembering all those that died while serving in our armed forces. If it wasn’t for them, you and I wouldn’t be sitting here enjoying all the [...]
ASK Cubby, Version- More Dodging The Truth
“Vaterra Cubby, I’m a daily passenger on the Big Squid Express. Great job. I’ve been a big fan of Vaterra since they came on the RC scene, but have been a little dissappointed lately with their off road selection. I know it’s hard to come up with the more innovative products like Axial’s Yeti every year, but I’d really like to see [...]
Losi Gasoline 8IGHT-T RTR Truggy Review
Gasoline powered rc vehicles were supposed to be the next big thing. The HPI Octane seemingly came and went, just as the Losi Monster XXL did. Losi recently released both a buggy and truggy with their Dynamite Gasoline Powered Engine, we’ve been putting the 8IGHT-T truggy through its paces to see how it stacks up. Have they fixed the engine [...]

THE Cub Report, Version- Didn’t See That One Coming…
We really messed up this time, and by “we” I mean a whole lot of people in the traditional rc industry. We totally underestimated the entire quadcopter/drone phenomenon. What could have been a cash cow, a savior to our industry, many of us basically looked at as yet another small fad. Instead it has turned into a behemoth. In case you [...]

“Hyperion 720i NET3 (still one of the best?) I love the shootouts and reviews you guys do, keep it up. I’m in the market for my 1st charger and wanted to not cheap out and get a good one. I’m just getting into the hobby and don’t really need the Best available. Like the title states, is the Hyperion 720i NET3 [...]
THE Cub Report, Version- Why I Stopped Racing
If you’ve been reading THE Cub Report for any period of time, then you know back in the early days about all I ever talked about was racing. Yes, I drank the Kool Aid, for most of my life rc was solely about racing. It was what the magazines had preached, it was what the manufacturers preached, and it was [...]
ASK Cubby- You Ask the Questions, I Make Up the Answers
“Build yourself 1/8 scale truggy Good evening sir, Been in the hobby with my 12yo son now for just over 2 yrs. Went with a rustler that had been extremely good.

ARRMA Senton BLX Review
Among the bashing community short course trucks are a favorite, especially 4 wheel drives. They have a great combination of scale looks, toughness, and drivability that are great for bashyard bashing. We’ve had the opportunity to thrash the latest SCT from ARRMA, the 4wd Senton BLX, for several weeks now. Did it live up to the ARRMA name? How does [...]

THE Cub Report, Version- Driving A Piece of Garbage
So… over the weekend I loaded up all my gear and met up with the BSRC Bash Crew. They are truly a bunch of mis-fits, but they all are extremely hardcore about their bashing. Their cars/trucks are fully prepped for a beating, they love driving all day long, and they are all about going bigger and harder than the next [...]

ASK Cubby, Version- More Questions, Less Answers
“Hey Cubby, What’s up with the media blockout you guys have on Traxxas? You know us Traxxas owners deserve some news too! Stanley S.” Cubby- Yo, hey now Stanley, shoot us your snail mail for an extra sweet BSRC sticker pack. So about that “media blackout” you say we have on Traxxas. We have no such thing. In fact, Traxxas news usually gives our [...]
