THE Cub Report, 08.05.2013, Version- Sheep in Wolf's Clothin…
Hello there everyone out in rc land, yup, you found it, THE Cub Report. There was no F1 over the weekend. Sigh. There was “sorta” moto (if you count X-Games, Brayton won and JLaw was there!). Sigh. At least I’ve got the last season of Breaking Bad to look forward to this Sunday. In case you missed it (read- you have been [...]
Vaterra Twin Hammers Recalled By Horizon? (Rumor Mill?)
So I opened up the old email box this evening and I had several emails asking if I knew what was up with the Vaterra Twin Hammers being recalled. I thought the first letter was just someone messing around, but then after the third similar email I decided to do a little contacting myself! After a few phone calls, a [...]
ASK Cub Reporter, 08.01.2013, Version- So Many Questions, So…
Hey Cubby~ So I figured I would come to the experts to get a real answer to my question. I purchased a Venom 8.4v 5000mAh 7-Cell for my Traxxas Slash last summer. I have probably run about 20 cycles thru it and suddenly the battery won’t take a charge anymore. I hook it up to my charger and it tells me [...]
Review – Futaba 4PLS (4PL Super) S-FHSS Telemetry Radio
THE Futaba 4PLS (4PL Super) S-FHSS Telemetry Radio ReviewThe venerable Futaba 4PL was perhaps the best radio system ever made for the bashing market. Well it’s deceased now, replaced by a newer model, the 4PLS (Super). Does the 4PLS live up to the high expectations? Being Futaba’s first surface radio with telemetry, did they get it right? Can it take [...]

Review – Traxxas EZ-Peak NiMH/NiCd 5 Amp AC/DC Charger
THE Traxxas EZ-Peak NiMH/NiCd 5 Amp AC/DC Charger ReviewSo you just bought a new RTR and it came with a battery and a wall charger. Wall chargers are notoriously slow and you would much rather be out driving than waiting around for the battery to charge. To get you back on track quicker Traxxas has a new charger called the [...]

ASK Cub Reporter, 07.24.2013, Version- Bringing On The Quest…
Ask Cubby – OK, I will Cubby, I love what you guys do – the website is my go-to site for what’s going on in RC. However, I do have one question/complaint – the letters in Thursday’s “Ask Cubby” section are barely legible. Would it be possible (and not blasphemous) to ask that you consider changing the font to one that [...]
Review – Duratrax 835E 1/8th RTR Buggy
THE Duratrax 835E 1/8th RTR Buggy ReviewWe received a Duratrax 835E for review a few weeks ago and everyplace we went people seemed interested in it. That seemed a bit odd to us, I mean most people have seen/driven an 8th scale buggy before. However, the 835E is different, it’s a RTR brushless buggy that comes in at a fairly [...]
