Review – Vaterra Glamis Fear 1/8th RTR Buggy
THE Vaterra Glamis Fear 1/8th RTR Buggy ReviewWhen we reviewed the Vaterra Glamis Uno a few months ago we were quite impressed. Vaterra is after all a new company and you would think they would have some teething pain. We found very few problems with the Uno. Today we’ll be taking a closer look at the Uno’s brother, the new [...]

THE Cub Report, 09.09.2013, Version- Master Of Hypocrisy
You all know I’m a big Formula 1 fan, a huge Ferrari F1 fan specifically, but I think it’s time for me to take a break. For the first time since the ’80s, I’m not going to follow F1 anymore. Last weekend at Monza was the clincher, F1 has become boring. Seb, the snotty young German with his Red Bull [...]

Torment Xtreme LCG Kit I have a new Torment and I’m interested in putting an Xtreme LCG kit on my truck. My only question is, what is the ground clearance after you put the Xtreme LCG kit on the Torment? How does this truck compare to a 2wd Slash with the STRC LCG kit on it as far as handling goes? I [...]

Happy Labor Day to all you rc’ers out there, and welcome to THE Cub Reporto’. A non-syndicated, non-PC, non-logical look into the world of rc. Oh ya, I always talk about full scale racing at the start of THE Cub Report, but…. Labor day weekend isn’t exactly a banner weekend for that sort of thing. Moto is off until MXDN and [...]

Axial Exo I’m getting the Axial Exo Terra and reading multiple solutions to its jumping nose dive but not sure what to believe. BSRC has reviewed Axial (aluminum shocks much better than stock) and STRC shocks (shocks better than Axial but not enough threading) and it seems the Exo is a BSRC bashing favorite. I was thinking of using Proline shocks [...]
Review – Pro-Line PRO-2 Short Course Truck Kit
THE Pro-Line PRO-2 Short Course Truck Kit ReviewAfter 30 long years the crew over at Pro-Line decided to try their hand at the full on kit game. The PRO-2 Kit is the culmination of a series of hop-up parts that ended up turning into an entire 2wd short course truck. Is the PRO-2 a racer or a basher? Is it [...]

Hey now everyone, thanks for tuning in to THE Cub Report, a column about your favorite hobby, rc. Both F1 and AMA Motocross were in action over the weekend, but it turned out quite boring. SebVet creamed the F1 guys yet again, while RV2 and ET did the same to their respective classes at Lake Elsinore. Oofah, what I would do [...]

THE Cub Report, 08.19.2013, Version- Time Bomb
Hey now all you rc freaks, it’s Monday morning and time for yet another funk-a-deluxe edition of THE Cub Report. F1 is still in their summer break. “Sigh”. Maybe everyone in the world needs a month off during peak season to just hang out, rest, and relax. Hummm, that’s a great idea… sounds like I better schedule a meeting with Brian [...]

Here we are again, another Monday, and yet another Cub Report. There is no better way to start off your week in rc than with the web’s most influential and controversial weekly editorial piece (if I must say so myself). The Cub Report is an exotic blend of sarcasm/fiction/opinion that a rather large amount of people can actually stomach to [...]
