THE Tower Hobbies Cutback SCT ReviewThe Dallas Cowboys are “America’s Football Team”, just like Tower Hobbies could be considered “America’s Hobby Shop”. While Tower is certainly known more for being a mail order Goliath than being a truck manufacturer, they do have a new 4wd Short Course Truck on the market called the Cutback. How does it handle? Is it [...]

A decade of bashing down, BSRC is officially 10 years old, even we can’t believe it. Nor can we believe that a lil’ ole website like ours could help change the face of rc, but it has. So where do we go from here? Ya, for sure it’s hard to top what we’ve done, but being who we are we are [...]
“First car My name is Jason and I want to get a electric off road vehicle. Not going to race just want something to have a blast with and not have to always be fixing it.

THE Pro-Line PRO-MT Monster Truck ReviewLow slung buggies and stadium/SCT trucks are great for busting out fast laps, but for real bashing monster trucks still rule. With bigger tires and more ground clearance, monster trucks can blast over the roughest of terrain, land from the highest jumps, and smash into hard objects better than their smaller counterparts. Recently Pro-Line decided to [...]

Hola everyone and welcome to this week’s iHobby edition of THE Cub Report. So how was the show? It definitely had its ups and downs… The downs- 1. Very low dealer attendance on the first industry day (Thurs), and even worse on the second (Fri). Seriously, it was like a ghost town in the expo hall. 2. Incredibly low rc manufacturer attendance. 3. Parking on [...]
Ever since it was seen at the Nuremburg Toy Fair in January, the ARRMA Kraton BLX Monster Truck has been creating a lot of buzz. The Kraton is not only ARRMA RC’s first 4wd, but also their first 1/8th scale machine, hence the reason bashers are biting at the bit to hear how it performs. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: [...]
“ASK Cubby Hey Cubby, Whazzap! I thought you went to work for Traxxas. Anyho, my question is: are there any affordable 4wd monster trucks out there? Not everyone can buy a Summit, y’know… Steve G.” Cubby- Yo what up Stevie? Guess what? I have just proclaimed yours as “Letter of the Month”!

Yes, the BSRC Bash Crew gets really slammed the weekend before the iHobby Expo, so I’ll keep it short this weekend (read- I always say that, and it never happens… LOL). Here are the best reasons to attend iHobby this weekend in Schaumburg Illinois. 1. We’ll be world premiering a HUGE new release in our booth on Thursday at 11 am CST. [...]
“Best Lipo Charger I have been asking around on the forums and they all seem to say the iCharger is the best thing out right now. Whats do you think?
