Great lipo reviews! Hi Big Squid, I rarely write in to websites, but your lipo reviews have been very good: i.e. the recent ProTek: LiPo Testing a 30a draw is very realistic for 2s packs, and the extra 60a graph is nice (that must have put out some heat!). Lots of packs seem to have dips in voltage after 25-30a… so that [...]
Review – ProTek 7.4v 2S 100C 5600 mah Lipo Battery Review
THE ProTek 2S 100C 5600 mah Lipo Battery ReviewThe rc world is still dominated by electric power and that doesn’t look to be changing any time soon. That fact means that nearly every hobbyist is going to need a good battery pack for his truck. Today we’ll be putting the hammer down on the latest Lipo battery from ProTek, a [...]

THE Cub Report, 05.20.2013, Version- Give ‘Em Enough Rope
Happy Monday everyone and thanks for tuning in to another Cub Report, my weekly smack talk on the world of rc.

Cubby – First off I would like to add some info/data to the answer I gave Dave B in last weeks ASK Cubby. Dave’s email basically said that “C” ratings on Lipo batteries seem to be a bit shady, and well, you need to read LAST WEEKS COLUMN to see how I replied. A bit over a year we reviewed a [...]
THE Cub Report, 05.12.2013, Version- Day Zero
Can you hear those bells? I sure can, Alonso put his Ferrari on top of the box at his home grand prix in Spain over the weekend. It was a great weekend for the prancing horses as Massa also put it on the podium and Ferrari is finally getting aggressive again. 2013 was year when the drivers have been holding [...]

Hey all, this week’s first ‘Ask Cubby’ letter is a LONG one, so I decided not to put it in the normal ‘hand written’ font thing because it takes up too much space, and a little difficult to read something of this length like that. Anyway, here we go… our first letter is from Dave, enjoy! “Touching an old base [...]
THE Cub Report, 05.06.2013, Version- Swedish House Cubby
Hello everyone, welcome to another week in the rc hobby, and welcome again to THE Cub Report. The 2013 Supercross Series is officially over but it went out with one heck of a bang. While the big boy pants class was all wrapped up last week, both of the 250 region titles came down to real nail-biters. On the East Coast [...]

Hey Big Squid, It’s Luke L from Florida. I was just wondering what would be a good starter car forCompetition grade Rc racing. I’d like to know if you know of any good cars for a dirt (actually clay) track. I’m willing to spend about $100-$200 and possibly go a bit over my limit. They use buggy, Truck, and short course I [...]

Hola rc’ers, as always thanks for checking out THE Cub Report, the only way to start off the week if you are truly core in rc. Wow, did K-Roc choke or what Saturday night in Salt Lake City? The guy went into Salt Lake with a huge/unsurmountable points lead and left only 5 points up over Team Geico Hondas Eli Tomac. [...]

Review – Duratrax Nissan GT-R Nitro RTR Review
THE Duratrax Nissan GT-R Nitro RTR ReviewIt is no secret I hate nitro, so I found it quite “interesting” that Brian would drop a nitro car on my desk for review (then he RAN out of my office). The new Duratrax Nissan GT-R has all the makings of a success, it has a big engine, a 2 speed tranny, and [...]

Review – Helion Invictus 10MT 4wd Brushless Monster Truck
THE Helion Invictus 10MT 4wd Monster Truck ReviewMonster trucks are the weapon of choice for a true basher, their large tires give them plenty of ground clearance for grass driving and driving over large clods of dirt. One of the latest entries in this product categories comes from Helion, a division of Firelands Group and an exclusive product at HobbyTown [...]

Hey now, it’s Monday and you’ve found THE Cub Report, sometimes it sucks, sometimes it good, here’s to hoping this is one of the “good” ones. LOL I like boring people right off the start with some full scale racing news. I literally eat, breathe, and sleep full scale racing, so my entire life centers around the F1 and Supercross schedules.
