Axial EXO Terra Buggy Review
THE 1/10th 4wd Axial EXO Terra Buggy ReviewWind back the hands of time to when Associated first released their legendary RC10 buggy. The RC10 flew off LHS shelves not only because it had ground breaking technology, but also because of its incredible scale looks.

Remember a few years ago when CES (Consumer Electronics Show) was thought to be on its last leg? Remember over a decade ago when iHobby was thought to surely be gone in a “couple more years”? Actually, all trade shows of every sort were thought to be on the edge of extinction, and why shouldn’t they? The web [...]
ASK Cub Reporter, 04.26.2012- More Questions Equals More Fun
Battery Technology Inquiry To whom it may concern, I am representing the South Dakota School of Mines SAE Aero Design team. We would like to explore the use of electric storage in our next year’s competition plane.

Hello friends, fans and haters, you have successfully made it to yet another cream filled edition of THE Cub Report, congrats!

Hi Cubby, I read that charging a lipo at a higher amperage will make my truck faster, is that true or false? Travis P. Cubby– Hola Travis, thanks for taking the time to shoot us an email. So… will charging a Lipo battery at a higher/faster rate result in higher output voltage under load, thus making your truck faster? Well I am not [...]

Greetings and salutations fellow rc’ers, and welcome to yet another week in our beloved hobby.

Dominus Wins!? Are you guys as amazed as I am (as well as everyone I know) that the Dominus, a truck that you simply can’t bash with, won the bashing bracket? That truck is such a piece of shit! Sure it’s cheap, but at $200 it can’t even drive up a jump. Is bashing considered driving around slowly in a circle [...]
