THE Cub Report, 05.26.2014, Version- A Grin Shows a Trick Up…
I got slammed in the face last week, slammed by the fact that the gasoline powered trucks are finally making it to the market. While I know it’s a good thing for the hobby (the added realism of the sound and smell of a fossil fuel powered engine), I am forever a hardcore electric guy, and the realization that gas might [...]
Review – Team Durango DEX210v2 1/10 2wd Buggy
THE Team Durango DEX210v2 Buggy ReviewIf you are an “old timer” then you probably spent years driving/racing/bashing a 2wd tenth scale buggy. Now days the class has had a resurgence in popularity, making it arguably bigger than it has ever been. The “new crop” of 2wd buggies are loaded with tech from front to rear, and one of the companies [...]

“Closed Cell inserts for Bashing Hi Cubby, I really like the ProLine Trenchers for bashing, but less so after they filled with sand. I made a few holes in the tires to let the sand out, but that’s not very good for the foams. I noticed the pre-mounted Trencher 2.8’s have standard white foam. And there I thought that Closed Cell foams were the [...]

While out in SoCal a couple of weeks ago, Brian and Tim were busy gallivanting around the rc scene, while I was hang’n with people in the motocross industry. On one particular night, I was able to sit around a ridiculously large table, one covered with all sorts of edible delights, with a number of makers and shakers in the [...]
Review – ECX Torment 4wd RTR Short Course Truck
THE ECX Torment 4wd RTR SCT ReviewECX, while still a relatively “new” brand, has made quite the splash in the bashing market. Their original 2wd Torment short course truck proved to be a capable bash machine, as well as several other vehicles in their line-up. We’ve been driving one of their new 4wd Torment RTR SCTs for a few weeks [...]

Hello rc world, nice to meet you, I’m Cubby and this is THE Cub Report. As you’ve seen from our front page we spent last week gallivanting around SoCal hitting up the makers and shakers of rc. Why would we do such a thing? That was the most frequent question asked by the manufacturers when we dropped by. As a reader/basher, [...]

I just love it when a Cub Report writes itself, and I love it even more when someone actually agrees with one of my hard edged opinions. Last week Joseph Quagraine had this to say about the 11 day long IFMAR 8th scale buggy championships coming up later this year in Italy- “Hello, I am writing this as JQ the RC Driver, [...]

“One Request Guys, Can you randomly pick my name for the Losi 5ive T? BTW, as a retail store owner, I liked the format of the contest. Making people look at videos and reviews, liking Losi on Faceypage, etc. is a great idea. I read so many reviews and watched so many videos… If I ever do a give away, I hope you don’t [...]
THE Cub Report, 04.28.2014, Version- Who Made Who
Have you been to a bash this year? Ever? Well I just got back home from a bash and the scene looks alive and well, much better off than some other hobbies I am into. Have you seen the state of car audio or even off-road motorcycling lately? Compared to those, rc bashing is seriously kicking ass. If you haven’t [...]

“FB I have to say without a doubt what you said about FB is the best thing I have ever read in the R/C world. Amazed at what level people need to partake in voyeurism of other’s lives. Never been on it, never will. I will cheer loudly the day it runs out of use with society, I do not really care [...]

THE Spektrum DX4S 4-Channel DSMR AVC Radio System ReviewWhat’s the real scoop on Spektrum’s new AVC (Active Vehicle Control) system? Does it work? Can it truly make your car easier to drive? Is it just another marketing gimmick? Has range improved with the newer Spektrum products? We’ve been driving, testing, and beating on a Spektrum DX4S for weeks now and [...]

Review – Team Durango DETC410 Touring Car
THE Team Durango DETC410 Touring Car ReviewTeam Durango has been known for years as a premium producer of off-road machines, luckily for us the UPS man dropped off their very first on-road machine, the DETC410 Touring Car, for some good old fashioned bashing action. As the first of its kind from Durango, the DETC410 sits on an all new, and [...]
