THE Cub Report, 09.24.2012, Version: Thirty inches of thigh-…
Hola amigo’s, and welcome to yet another way-super-uber edition of your favorite Monday morning rc column. First… sadly I must say I learned about the passing of Jim Rupard on Saturday. Jim was a staple of oval racing here in the Midwest and a HOF guy to pit next to. I was lucky enough to spend a week out in [...]

Hi Guys, Great site and lots of info. I have read quite a few articles and forums and I’m at information overload now trying to pick the right combo for my build. I have a e-revo 1/16 that I’m planning on putting a mamba max pro with either a 4600kv 4-pole or 5700kv 4-pole motor. Than it comes down to [...]
ST Racing Concepts Axial EXO Terra Buggy Hop Ups Review
THE ST Racing Concepts Axial EXO Terra Buggy Hop Ups ReviewSTRC has created quite a reputation of putting out flawless after-market upgrade parts. We’ve been bashing and thrashing a bunch of STRC upgrade parts for our Axial EXO Terra buggy for a few weeks now. Do they stack up to the big rep? Do they take the EXO to another [...]

THE Cub Report, 09.10.2012, Version- Don’t Roof Rack Me Bro
What a great weekend huh? Formula 1 was in full effect at Monza, American motocross wrapped up their series in the heart of the 909, and NFL football had a full schedule, it just doesn’t get much better than that. Actually it does- when you have enough time left over to break out the rc’s and get some bashing in. First [...]

I’m not bashing your test in fact I found it very interesting. But I’m curious why in the weight test the lightest battery was given the better score. In general I’ve found the heavier battery with similar Mah almost always is the better performer. Your overall test results seem to bear this out. Thanks Scott Cubby– Yo what’s up Scott and [...]

Hi Cubby, I am pondering the question should I buy a new Traxxas Stampede or not. All I do is parking lot plus the dirt hills behind my house. Is there a better option? Help. Jose L. Cubby- Que pasa Jose? Thanks for shoot’n in an email. Ya know… Traxxas has sold an awful lot of those Stampedes, and I can say from first [...]
Duratrax Posse Short Course Tire Review
THE Duratrax Posse Short Course Tire ReviewI can’t tell you how many noob bashers I’ve seen at the local track that are sliding all over the place (read- crashing a lot) but can’t understand why. Most of the time these bashers can wheel pretty good, yet they leave the track feeling like they are the worst drivers in the world. [...]

I was reading your review on the new Pro-line transmission. I sent some questions to Pro-line yesterday regarding the problem I have been having with my standard Rustler gears. I was hoping you might be able to shed some additional light on the subject particularly since you have done the vigorous field testing. I got a little of mixed messaging [...]

Cubby, Who is your favorite rc journalist and why? Richard P. Cubby– Hey now, what’s up Richie? Thanks for the email. I don’t believe there is such a thing as a true journalist in the rc biz right now, they are seemingly all puppets to their advertisers. Yes, it is sad state the rc media is in right now, but that’s just the way [...]
