“Hey Cubby, I need your advice on 4×4 Short Course trucks. I’ll initially bash but grow into racing and am currently looking at the SC10 4×4 Factory Team and the Losi SCTE 2.0. Obviously I don’t want to start a fan war between the two platforms, but can you give any advice on which way to go? Thanks, Matt M.” Cubby- Yo hey Matt, thanks [...]

Review – ECX Ruckus 1/18 4WD RTR Monster Truck

Review – Revell Dromida SC4.18 RTR Short Course Truck
THE Revell Dromida SC4.18 ReviewWhen Hobbico talks, people listen, and a whole bunch of ears perked up when they announced the Revell line-up of 18th scalers called Dromida. You and I might know Revell from their models, but now they have jumped into the rc world. The Dromida line-up is aimed right at the basher crowd, it was designed to [...]

I know I’ve said that I am done with F1 this season, but here I am writing this to you from Austin Texas before the USGP. The F1 season was over months ago, I swore off watching or following it, yet here I am. Some friends of mine over at Red Bull thought it was a good idea that I [...]

“Hey Cubby, I just picked up a 2013 Savage x 4.6! What would be the best upgrade you recommend for a routine basher? Most bang per buck vs. Best Bang if money were no object? Thanks in advance! Jose C. Jr. p.s. I’m also bumming it for a free decal :-)” Cubby- Yo yo yo Jose, BigSquidRC Raps! Actually we don’t, we just dig phrases [...]

So ya, I got the text messages and emails. I caught the wrath while at the track. It seems some people have a hard time wrapping their heads around why the BSRC front page is getting blown up with quads and helis. I can assure you we aren’t just trying to sabotage your surface news, or somebody is paying us [...]

“Cubby, My question is about a common belief that is passed around the internet. When an R.C. vehicle is discontinued is it really necessary to start stocking up on parts, or do the manufacturers continue to produce replacement parts? I recently had a vehicle I own become discontinued and am now faced with this question. (I would mention the vehicle but [...]

“Hi Cubby, I must say I am thoroughly impressed with the Granite BLX after seeing the bash video and reading the review. However, I couldn’t help but notice that you guys gave it a “B” on the Bash-a-Bility rating. A buddy of mine has the brushed granite, and that thing is INSANELY tough. Once you replace the servo its pretty much [...]
