Hello there fellow rc hobbyists this is THE Retired Report. First off, I want to wish all of you a happy new year. Second off, 2025 is starting to smell a lot like NITRO! In my last Retired Report, I talked about how I felt like Team Associated won the year of 2024. So what does Associated do on the very [...]
Well hello there fellow hobbyists, I am Cubby, I am retired, yet here I am for another Cub Report! As we get ready to conclude the year of 2024, I wanna take a look back and see how our industry did over the last 12 months. After looking through a year of our posts, I’ve come to a few conclusions. Ya know [...]
Well hello there, I am Cubby, I am retired, and yet here the freak I am! Ya know, I was gonna do a column on saying goodbye to Doug and Jeremy. But, I’m known as a hardcore slacker, so I slacked so long, Doug retired and came back before I could even say goodbye. LOL So, goodbye Doug. You started up the [...]
It’s why we’re in this hobby. Iterations. Doing it over and over again, but in a slightly different way every time. My guess is that most of you readers are iterating types, because if not this hobby would quickly become dull. Whether racing, bashing, crawling, painting or building, don’t we all try to do it slightly better than last time? [...]
Hey everyone and Happy Thursday! This post is a bittersweet one, as it’s going to be my last regular weekly blog for the site. For the past 11 years I’ve written a weekly blog post for BSRC. Whether it was under the “Everybody’s Scalin’ For the Weekend” or “Monster Truck Madness” title, I think I can count on one hand the amount [...]
Hello everyone, over the last 6 years Big Squid RC has been the main focus for me. Videos, article’s, events, and building new rigs around the clock. Never could I have dreamed that this opportunity would be a reality. Working for Big Squid RC has changed my life 100%. Not only did I find and meet some of the best [...]
Yo fellas! I think we all know that this hobby can help us through tough times. It’s quite likely it has seen a couple of you readers make it out of a bad place, or at least someone you know of. At times everyone needs a place where the mind is safe and can wander freely, and a good hobby [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! So Cross R/C announced a product that’s a bit out of left field, but one that I’m VERY excited for- an r/c farm tractor! The Cross R/C Ironbull TL4 Tractor. The photo above is from the Cross RC Facebook page, and you can find a video announcing the tractor right here. Not a lot of info is out [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! It’s ya boy Doug here for another edition of MTM. Yes, I said last week would be the last regular of edition of MTM, but given I have irons still in the fire I figured I’ll keep it up through the end of August before discussing “what’s next”. P.S.- to give any long time readers out [...]
Well hello there fellow rc fanatics, I’m Cubby, and I thought I was retired! If I’m so retired, what in the world I am still doing here? I am “working” today because I love the rc hobby. I consider the hobby of rc cars, as far and away the #1 hobby for any guy. Why’s that? RC gives you so much, [...]
Check out what’s happening in the drift scene! In the past couple of weeks Team Associated and Traxxas both have released drift cars. How cool that one big player and The Big Player are getting into this niche of the hobby! And for additional spice among new releases, Yokomo has released their MD 1.0 LTS, moving the cutting edge of [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! It’s time for an announcement! This week is going to be my last regular weekly Monster Truck Madness post. Please note that I said “last regular” and not “last”! 10 years ago I was one of a group of friends that started up the Trigger King R/C Monster Truck Racing Series in St. Louis, MO. We started [...]
Hello everyone and happy Thursday to you all! Today is the first day of August, and that means that Summer is nearing its conclusion. I mean, I guess that’s positive thinking- here in the Midwest it’ll probably be hot for at least another two months, but hey, I can dream, right? Anyways, with the calendar inching towards Fall, I’m very much looking [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! This week, we are heading to the mailbag. My son loves a cheap Grave Digger r/c truck that he got years ago but wants a truck that he can drive around outside. What’s a decent outdoor RC monster truck that doesn’t break the bank? Is Tyco still around? – Brett P So first off, this question wasn’t e-mailed [...]
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! Ya know, I’ve been racing solid axle retro monster trucks for 10 years now, and up until last weekend I had never won an actual race day event in that class. That finally changed last Sunday! And wouldn’t you know it, I wasn’t even driving my own truck, ha. I won the day’s Trigger King R/C Retro [...]
