“QUESTION FOR CUBBY Dear Cubby; I’m a speed and bash rc truck person – slash and savage, etc. – but I really like the looks of some of the crawlers. And was wondering if anyone has had any luck modifying a crawler for speed and bashing. I realize they have a high center of gravity but I thought the wide stance and [...]
“Family room runner I’m fairly green when it comes to rc cars and the like and was hoping for a bit of advise on a new rc car. I am wanting something that I can run around inside my family room, plus a bit of outside patio if the desire comes to me. I already have a Losi micro T and [...]
“Vaterra Halix Build What’s the deal with the Vaterra Halix build? You left me hanging. I was following that build step by step (although I installed the Vaterra CVDs instead of the MIPs.) I figured you guys had gotten busy with the trade show and had put the build on hold, but that’s well in the past. Is the Halix build [...]

“How come bigsquidrc.com doesn’t have? Hey Cubby, Why isn’t there a section on BigSquidRC.com to help out noobs like myself?

“Closed Cell inserts for Bashing Hi Cubby, I really like the ProLine Trenchers for bashing, but less so after they filled with sand. I made a few holes in the tires to let the sand out, but that’s not very good for the foams. I noticed the pre-mounted Trencher 2.8’s have standard white foam. And there I thought that Closed Cell foams were the [...]
