Review – Vaterra Swift Justice 2012 CHP Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
THE Vaterra Swift Justice 2012 CHP Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 from Horizon Hobby ReviewWhile Vaterra might be relatively new to the marketplace, they are certainly making a splash with their extremely scale looking rc cars. Their latest on-road machine, the 2012 CHP Camaro ZL1 is heavy on scale detailing at a moderate price point. Does the chassis drive well? Is the [...]

“Do you think that lipo batteries will destroy rc? They are inherently dangerous, i see videos on youtube all the time of them catching fire. How much longer can hobby shops keep selling them? Daniel P.” Cubby- Hey ya Danny P, shoot Brian your snail mail so he can send you a sticker pack. Are Lithium based batteries killing rc? Ummm…. let me [...]
THE Cub Report, 10.14.2013, Version- Better Out Than In
Hola everyone, welcome to THE good ole’ Cub Report. Ok, I broke down and did watch the F1 race from Japan over the weekend. Yes, it was another snooze fest, and yes, Vettel won yet again. But… I wasn’t watching it for the race, or the racers, I watched it simply to view the track. Suzuka is the best track in [...]

“Dear Cubby, For the last year I’ve been driving my 2 wheel Slash VXL. I like the truck but keep burning off teeth on the spur. What is the best way to keep from going through more spur gears? Nice Cub Report a couple weeks ago about ROAR too, keep up the good work. Fredrick R.” Cubby- Yo hey Fred, thanks for the email, [...]
THE Cub Report, 10.07.2013, Version- Schaumburg or Bust
Hello everyone out there in rc land, you have landed on THE Cub Report, the column that everybody, and I mean everybody, reads every week. I’m soooo burnt crispy on rc. Back in the day I thought I went hard with rc, but since being shoved even deeper into the industry, I have been spending way, wayyyyy too many hours on [...]

Review – Carisma GT10DT Brushless RTR Desert Racer Review
THE Carisma GT10DT Brushless RTR Desert Racer ReviewDaily our hobby changes. Off-road buggies have gone from cool looking scale derived machines, to UFOs, and now they are headed back to looking like something you might actually be able to see in real life. The crew over at Carisma and their new GT10DT continues the trend back to scale realism. The [...]

Wow, I just got done watching the Motocross of Nations from Germany and I gotta say I was left with a very sour taste in my mouth. No, America once again didn’t really send their “A-Team”, but even still, we should have won. It was disappointing to watch ET throw away (literally) a top 2 finish in the first moto, [...]

Review – ARRMA Granite BLX Brushless RTR Monster Truck
THE ARRMA Granite BLX RTR Monster Truck ReviewThe brushed version of the ARRMA Granite was a big hit among the bashing crowd, it was tough as nails, it drove well, and it was affordable. ARRMA has upped the ante with the new Granite BLX. The BLX comes with big brushless power and is fully waterproof. Does the Granite BLX live [...]

THE Cub Report, 09.23.2013, Version- Man in the Box
Yes, even I run out of things to complain about, so here is a rather brief and uncharacteristically happy Cub Report. Brian won’t ever toot his own horn, so I do it for him from time to time. Numbers are doing great (thanks to You our readers), and have blown well past what we considered to be the “maximum” we would [...]

Review – Hitec X1 Touch AC/DC Battery Charger
THE Hitec X1 Touch AC/DC Battery Charger ReviewWe learned several months ago during our iMax X200 review that adding a touch screen to a battery charger can be a good thing. Today we’ll be taking a closer look at one of Hitec’s newest products, the X1 Touch AC/DC Charger. It features a big color touch screen and pumps out 7 [...]

THE Cub Report, 09.16.2013, Version- Ozymandias
All the best stories start with “So I was walking through my local Fry’s…”. So… I was strutting through the isles of my local Fry’s, just looking to pick a techno babble fight with one of their 19 year old greenhorns, and I stumble across a quite “hobby grade” looking rc car for sale. And not just one, but they actually [...]

(Since we have had a few emails asking us to change out the ‘Letter’ font, but haven’t found a good one, just going simple today) “Hi, I read your July post on the Protek 2s lipo and I did two things: I bought that battery, and I bought a West Mountin Radio CBA IV.
