“Hey Cubby, I implore you to please quit using the word manufacture when you should be using manufacturer. A manufacturer is the company that manufactures the products. Thanks, Joshua H.” Cubby- Yo hey Josh, you’ve made the big time, hit Brian up with your snail mail for a BSRC sticker pack. Ok, a couple quick things here- 1. While I merely dislike Grammar Nazis, what I [...]
“Vaterra Cogging How can I get rid of all cogging from my halix vaterra? 2s Lipo Aspen Sam” Cubby- Yo hey Aspen Sam, what’s up and I hope you’ve been bashing the heck out of your Vaterra Halix. While it is still a very new model it has become a favorite among the BigSquidRC Bash Crew. The Halix comes geared somewhat tall out of [...]
“Cubby, I am in need of a new power supply for my battery chargers, which one are you recommending now days? Btw, I read your last Cub Report and I totally disagree with you on the Associated B5, I can’t wait to buy one. Martin V.” Cubby- Yo hey what’s up Martin, thanks for the email and be sure to shoot Brian your snail [...]
“Hello, I am looking for a telescopic piston for r/c truck. I am not using it for a specific truck, but assembling something general, so almost any type would be ok, as long as it is relatively short (not 10-12 inches, but less). Can you help me? Thanks, Gal.” Cubby- Yo to the yo Gal, and I don’t think the question is so much “can” I [...]
“Hey my name is Garett. I was wondering if you had some info on the Axial Exo Terra Buggy you guys put the tracks on? I really want to put tracks on mine and was wondering if i could get some info on what you guys did to get them to fit. Please get back to me i would absolutely [...]
“Animus 18TR I was recently reading a thread on your website that reviewed the Animus 18 TR. I believe it was posted by Tim Mohr in Nov. of 2011. Near the bottom he talks about mods over $5 being a good quality charger, which would be around $50. I was wondering what the brand of charger (model # too) was and [...]
“I am interested in getting one of the new avc systems and running it in my T4 this winter. Is the avc system legal for racing? thanks, Jason K.” Cubby- Yo to the yo Jason, I just want to let you know you were ohhh sooo close to being letter of the month. You came in second, hope you weren’t holding your [...]
“Hey Cubby, I need your advice on 4×4 Short Course trucks. I’ll initially bash but grow into racing and am currently looking at the SC10 4×4 Factory Team and the Losi SCTE 2.0. Obviously I don’t want to start a fan war between the two platforms, but can you give any advice on which way to go? Thanks, Matt M.” Cubby- Yo hey Matt, thanks [...]
“Hey Guys, I wanted to thank you again for the Invictus. Attached are some pictures from my Sons 6th birthday where we gave him the truck. He was screaming with joy!! Made his birthday. We had it hid away for a few months that is why it has taken time to get you pictures! My wife was laid off her job [...]
“Hey Cubby, I just picked up a 2013 Savage x 4.6! What would be the best upgrade you recommend for a routine basher? Most bang per buck vs. Best Bang if money were no object? Thanks in advance! Jose C. Jr. p.s. I’m also bumming it for a free decal :-)” Cubby- Yo yo yo Jose, BigSquidRC Raps! Actually we don’t, we just dig phrases [...]
“Cubby, My question is about a common belief that is passed around the internet. When an R.C. vehicle is discontinued is it really necessary to start stocking up on parts, or do the manufacturers continue to produce replacement parts? I recently had a vehicle I own become discontinued and am now faced with this question. (I would mention the vehicle but [...]
“Hi Cubby, I must say I am thoroughly impressed with the Granite BLX after seeing the bash video and reading the review. However, I couldn’t help but notice that you guys gave it a “B” on the Bash-a-Bility rating. A buddy of mine has the brushed granite, and that thing is INSANELY tough. Once you replace the servo its pretty much [...]

Bryan G.” Cubby- Hey now Bryan, thanks for the email and be sure to shoot Brian your snail mail for a free sticker pack. Hey bro, I’m so glad you decided to go [...]
“Do you think that lipo batteries will destroy rc? They are inherently dangerous, i see videos on youtube all the time of them catching fire. How much longer can hobby shops keep selling them? Daniel P.” Cubby- Hey ya Danny P, shoot Brian your snail mail so he can send you a sticker pack. Are Lithium based batteries killing rc? Ummm…. let me [...]
“Dear Cubby, For the last year I’ve been driving my 2 wheel Slash VXL. I like the truck but keep burning off teeth on the spur. What is the best way to keep from going through more spur gears? Nice Cub Report a couple weeks ago about ROAR too, keep up the good work. Fredrick R.” Cubby- Yo hey Fred, thanks for the email, [...]
